Yes, I had the same feeling when I finally had it all working. All the
non-geeks around me did not understand why I was so happy about my
silly computer thing!

In "Administration" you'll find "Users and groups". There you should
add the mythtv user to the video group and everything else that looks
like multimedia.

Launch "Login Screen Setup" under the "System -> Administration" menu.
You'll find a setting to autologin a user after 10 seconds or more.

Again,  under the "System -> Administration" menu you'll find
"Sessions" which let you do that.



Isn't it great to see yourself grow with the project?!
