John thanks so.<br>
<br>
Just to sumarize<br>
<br>
- I installed a catelina VM<br>
- I installed macports<br>
- I followed their instructions about Xcode<br>
- I built with johns build script running the script (not pasting every line)<br>
- I used internet instructions to make a dmg from the mythfrontend.app<br>
- I copied the dmg to my main machine with retina display (without retina do no scale)<br>
- Because osx wants to create aliases I opened the dmg with finder<br>
- I copied the app (sudp cp -a /Volumes/YourFolder/mythfrontend.app /Applications)(YourFolder is from how to make a dmg)<br>
- i opened->get info mythfrontend. and checked [open in low resolutiom]<br>
<br>
mythfrontend plays perfectly but is slow to open looking for DBUS<br>
<br>
- I installed macports dbus on the laptop. DBUS is still not found. I'll investigate<br>

John's high sierra version did not scale (stayed 1/4 size) with [open in low resolution] (but it did/does work properly on my high sierra machine without retina display<br>

Please pay attention to the details on these things. I told you in a previous post to use the finder to copy the app into place from the dmg (i.e. drag and drop the file or select copy select destination folder and paste). In your post you state you're using the command prompt.. This won't work and will leave pieces behind. I am not guaranteeing that your 1/4 screen issues will go away, you may have a unique hardware setup., but it is worth a try just in case. I asked in a previous post for you to send out what your hw is and to add the information to the trac ticket I started. </div><div><br></div><div>The community and I can't do much more to help you if you won't follow precise instructions and provide some data back.
