I took the advice of Curtis( Thanks Curtis!) and nuked/paved my SD card, re-installed your latest .27.6 deb package and things now work well without sudo even including the audio problem below. I think it also took care of the menu problem as well.<br>

Much thanks for your effort in porting this to the Rpi!<br>
<br>
By the way, It works acceptably on the RPI 3 without using the mpg2 license for OPENMAX when watching MPG2 content recorded OTA here in the US for both 1080i as well as 720p.<br>
<br>
I am amazed how well it works without the MPG2 license AND using the wifi connection and not the wired connection!<br>
<br>
I do have a mpg2 license inbound to see the difference between using it and just using the ffmpeg software codec.<br>
<br>
Again, thanks much Peter!<br>
