<p dir="ltr">Sorry if this has been answered, but i thought I'd throw my $0.02 in. When I setup my MythTV setup, I ran into this same problem. I modified one of the scripts from the MythTV wiki to update it with some more modern options (CRF single pass opposed to a double pass is the big one).</p>

<p dir="ltr">I don't actually use the frontend to play the videos. Most time I use the built in UPnP media server.</p>
