[mythtv-users] improving mythtv-frontend experience on RP3 B+

[James Abernathy]

I’d like to help improve the performance of Mythfrontend on Raspbian on Raspberry PI 3 B+.

I’m no developer, but I could test things if needed.

Here’s what I know If you load the latest Raspbian (2018-6-27) and change the GPU memory to 256MB or 320MB and put the CPU into performance mode the system performs fantastically using Kodi 17.6 to playback mythtv recordings or play Live TV from a remote backend.

However, on Mythtv frontend, I’m using OpenMAX High Quality and Normal with OpenMAX hdmi audio. The video playback is sort of okay, but nowhere near as good as Kodi on the same hardware and OS.

If I could stand the Kodi interface I’d just use it, but Mythtv Frontend is a much better interface for managing a remote backend and displaying the liveTV and recorded TV.

With Kodi working so good, I think there is just a tweak that will fix the Myth FE.
