Please try shutdown the frontend and remove the .mythtv directory or
directories as follows (assuming you used pi as your user id:
sudo rm -rf /home/pi/.mythtv
sudo rm -rf /root/.mythtv

Make sure your user has the audio and video groups. If you logon as pi
that should already be correct.

Then make sure your backend is running, run startx (without sudo) to get
into X, then select Mythtv Frontend from the Sound and video group on
the menu.

Definitely you should not run it under sudo.

> 2nd problem: I am having is related to audio. I am not getting any audio when playing video. I see an error  like the following:
Try This:
from a command prompt run
sudo raspi-config -> Advanced Options -> Audio
Select either 3.5 mm audio jack or HDMI, depending which you are using.
reboot


> 3rd problem: When navigating through the menus to set up audio, things are flakey, and many times I have had to ‘kill’ mythfrontend and restart.  I am using QT and not Open GL or the auto setting.

In audio setup try one of these

or
ALSA:default
