So I looked at a lot of crappy video performance and became overly sensitive to jittery video, frame rate problems, lip-sync issues, etc, etc.</div><div><br></div><div> I've wasted too much time trying to get the RPI 4 to run mythfrontend to my satisfaction. It's not too far off, but since I have a FireTV 4K on every TV I own, I use that because the FireTV 4K is far superior to the RPI 4 in every way. mythfrontend is pretty good on the FireTV 4K and Leanfront is perfect. Leanfront has a better picture than I can get on my Intel NUC 1165G7. Also the FireTV 4K Max I use on both our UHD 4K TV takes the 1080i/720P MPEG2 HD over the air programs and improves them a lot. The RPI 4 can't do that.<br></div><div><br></div><div>So I'm not wasting any more money on RPI 4/5 for Mythtv projects. Maybe for a remote backend for my FireTVs. But since I like commercial flagging, you need more than a raspberry PI.</div><div><br></div><div>JIm A<br><br></div></div></div>
