Good idea!
Already added  this :-)

> 2) The tar extract command isn't retaining the tar ball permissions.   It applied the UID/GID of my system mythtv to the image.   So on boot up, mythtv couldn't write to its own directory.    Once I chown/chmod the home directory back to mythtv:mythv, the front end starts up

It looks like You run bsdtar as user - not root.
In such case all files will have UID/GUI for user running bsdtar.
Pls try to run bsdtar command as root or use sudo.
Lack if information that unpack must be as root is my overlook in install.txt. Sorry for that!
I’ll add this to install.txt

Right. I setup to use networkd from systemd.
I’ll switch to dhcpcd.
stay tuned.
I’ll put information about this and provide updated image (probably via google drive this time)

> 2) Video is very choppy.   I have verified the MPG licenses are in place and enabled.  The system is set to use OpenMax Normal for playback.   I am using OpenMax HDMI for audio.

I suspect this is issue of UID/GUI rights of unpacked rootfs?
Pls reformat partition with rootfs and unpack SD image again - but this time with sudo or as root

let see what interest be :-)
