Go ahead and grab one of those and check to see if you get further in the meta data grabbing process (the "2022-12-04 13:27:25.660406 E  MythSystemLegacy() command not executable," error should go away).

My previous mail saying 'Thanks' was bounced as spam !!!
Lets see if this thanks is accepted.

If you do, you'll want to grab the latest compile script from either from the new MythTVForMacOS repo (https://github.com/MythTVforMacOS/compileMythfrontend/ <https://github.com/MythTVforMacOS/compileMythfrontend/>).  I have a PR in progress to get these changes into the official mythtv packaging repo.  Let me know if you run across any issues with the compile script so I can get them fixed.

Not so much as 'I prefer' as I need to !
My main machine is pegged at High Sierra. I replaced the disk with ssd and as it's main task is hosting my sea of linux VMs it works very well.
