I got it compiled and working on my system.  The app works on both High Sierra and Catalina.  High Sierra has what I'd expect for playback.  Catalina behaves the same (i.e. only plays in a quarter of the screen for 480p videos).  I suspect there's a bug hidden in modern VideoToolbox versions.

I've uploaded the file here and will be updating the forum and wiki posts soon:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mythtvformacosx/files/MythFrontend-31-intel-10.13.4-v31.0-40-gce23a0225fv31.dmg/download

I will also be removing the files from my dropbox account.
Thank you so much for all the hard work you've put into getting this working for both Catalina and High Sierra, especially as I'm not a fan of Kodi as a MythTV frontend.



I have managed to get it working full screen on my 2014 MacBook Pro (Catalina) with these settings:

Video Playback Profile = opengl-rgba
    VideoToolbox acceleration & OpenGL Hardware

        Decoder = VideoToolbox acceleration

        Max CPUs = 1

        Deblocking filter = yes

        Video renderer = OpenGL Hardware

        Deinterlacer quality (single rate) = High quality

            Prefer OpenGL deinterlacers = yes

            Prefer driver deinterlacers = yes

        Deinterlacer quality (single rate) = Medium quality

            Prefer OpenGL deinterlacers = yes

            Prefer driver deinterlacers = yes

Mac OS X Video Settings

    Enable gamma correction for video = yes

    Scale video as necessary = yes

    Frames to skip in fullscreen mode = 0

    Video in floating window = no

    Video in main window = yes

        Frames to skip = 0

        Opacity = 100

    Video in the dock = no

    Video on the desktop = no





Regards,

Dave.
