Currently using <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythTV_Light">https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MythTV_Light</a>
on RP1 3. Located in the UK so using Freeview/Freesat as source. The
Tv supports 720p@50Hz. SD playback is flawless using Openmax normal
but HD can be a bit juddery when vertically or horizontally panning.
So I thought I would give MiniMyth2 a go, which contains some extra
patches.<br>
Comparing the two and apologising for stating the obvious for the
initiated :-<br>
Mythtv Light uses a standard install of Rasbian leading to a
graphical desktop through which the package Mythtvlight can be
installed. Any Ubuntu user would be quite familiar with this and
adapt to it easily in order to configure the Pi.<br>

MiniMyth2 is a complete binary image that for me dropped into a
terminal when booted, no further installation required. I think I
must have got something wrong in the install (file permissions
suspected)as mythfrontend should have run. <code>Login as root
password root and after copying the working pi configuration file
config.txt to /boot/config.txt and a mythfrontend configuration to
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml the frontend ran. Configured Myth
to use Openmax for playback and off it went. Have not yet managed
to get sound working in this incarnation.<br>
<br>
First impressions are performance is the same in the two
installations so would recommend either based on whether you
prefer desktop or command line.<br>
<br>
Note playback using Kodi is perfect so hopefully Mythtv will get
there eventually. I prefer the user interface of Myth so sticking
to Mythfrontend.<br>
<br>
Thanks for every-bodies effort in getting this low cost platform
working.<br>
