<div class="">Is anyone successfully running mythfrontend on a

<div class="">The ION-based system I had been using for the past
decade recently died. I picked up a RPi3 thinking it would be an
easy replacement. Unfortunately, many of my recordings (not all)
experience momentary audio blips (e.g., 1 second pause every few
seconds). I see PrebufferEnoughFrames messages during some of
them:</div>

My experience sounds just like what you mentioned about audio and
video. It is not as good as an 6 year old Core i3 NUC on
mythfrontend on the RP3 B+.<br>
<br>
However, the whole experience is extremely good on Kodi. In fact, I
just downloaded the LibreELEC 8.25 and the picture is fantastic. <br>
<br>
So IMHO the RP3 B+ is the right platform for remote FE. Even with a
case, PS, and microSD card, I spent only $63. I just wish mythtv
frontend was as good as Kodi with pvr-mythtv.<br>
The Kodi interface is not intuitive and the wife will not be happy
to be moved from mythtv-frontend. But I'm not spending $180 for a
Nivida Shield or $300 for another NUC.<br>
