<div class="">I’d like to help improve the performance of Mythfrontend on Raspbian on Raspberry PI 3 B+.</div>

<div class="">Here’s what I know If you load the latest Raspbian (2018-6-27) and change the GPU memory to 256MB or 320MB and put the CPU into performance mode the system performs fantastically using Kodi 17.6 to playback mythtv recordings or play Live TV from
a remote backend.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">However, on Mythtv frontend, I’m using OpenMAX High Quality and Normal with OpenMAX hdmi audio. The video playback is sort of okay, but nowhere near as good as Kodi on the same hardware and OS.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If I could stand the Kodi interface I’d just use it, but Mythtv Frontend is a much better interface for managing a remote backend and displaying the liveTV and recorded TV.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">With Kodi working so good, I think there is just a tweak that will fix the Myth FE.</div>

<div dir="auto">If I recall correctly there has been quite some discussion of this in the past so might be worth browsing some of the list archives. I believe the necessary changes - while quite possible as demonstrated by Kodi performance - would require a
very substantial rewrite of some of the mythtv code and it wasn't something any of the current developers were working on at this time. </div>
