<p>MiniMyth2 installation.<br>
</p>
<p>I have now got the system to boot & run, the issue was
incorrect permissions in /home/mythtv/.</p>
<p> This was causing X to fail unless mythfrontend was run as root
and config.xml was not being saved.</p>
<p>The issue I think stems from these lines in the instructions :-</p>

"bsdtar -xpf MiniMyth2-rpi2-latest.tar.bz2 -C root"
"sync"
When using Ubuntu as the host what is the required syntax for the bsdtar command if using sudo is not acceptable.
I am sure the audio issue stems from the same problem.
I used config.txt from the rasbian installation because I new it worked well with my TV forcing the refresh rate I needed.
Will try your default again once my installation error is sorted.

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.

Definitely something is wrong here.
Target behavior should be like this:
1.Partition SD card
2.Download & unpack file to SD card
3.Insert SD card into RPI2
4.Power-on RPI2
5.Select country & discovered MythTV backend.
6.You should get fully running MythTV on PRI2
not anything more to do is needed!
after steep 4 (power-on RPI):
-user see country/language selection screen. select &, press Enter
-mythtv shows list backends to select. user select BE by arrows and press Enter
-user gets MythTV main screen
so from powering-on RPI to myth Main Screen user needs to play few times with arrows keys and 2x with Enter.
not more!
my multiple tests confirm _exactly_ this procedure (and not anything more) in my environment
(rpi2; current master as be)

Is this means that /boot/config.txt provided by image isn’t working for you?
If it is not working - how exactly it is not working?
Also - why You need to copy /home/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml ?
This file should be created by mythtv itself at first run when user press enter at BE selection screen.
I’m wonder what You have on screen after FIRST power-on of RPI?
Did You receive country/language selection screen?

First impressions are performance is the same in the two installations so would recommend either based on whether you prefer desktop or command line.

<pre wrap="">
No surprise as both have that same: kernel, RPI firmware & mythtv code (more-or-less)
Difference (IMHO) is within: preparation to first run, updates from UI and some extra patches in mythtv code….
