I find I can set up a VM with just the mythbackend running and I can just choose whatever VM OS runs mythtv the best.  All Distros support VM so that's easy.

Jim I decided to give enderverOS another whirl carefully following
https://forum.mythtv.org/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=5567
exactly.

So much happens across

Code: Select all
yay -S mythtv-git --editmenu
take defaults on options, except the package to edit. Select the number of "mythtv-git".
Change the source= for
"git+https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv#branch=fixes/33"
and change to
"git+https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv#branch=master"

save and exit to continue build. Take defaults and enter password when required.

and I see nowhere / noway to set 
git+https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv#branch=master

So I build
mythtv-git-33.1.r23.g4112015bfe

What step am I missing?
