you can see what's going on starting MythFrontend like so:
MythFrontend.app/Content/MacOS/MythFrontend -v audio,playback

from that point it's pretty much identical to running it on linux

Unfortunately, the issue is there still. Not as much, but still
there.. When editing the video profiles for examples, I can't
validate. Pressing any keys just make a beep.
What I did is switch to another application, that doesn't cover
mythfrontend, and use the mouse to click on the next button until it
says finish.

>From that point it usually works okay once the screen is validated.
For the time where I can't go up from the menu, I have to restart...
Luckily, I've only seen that behaviour in the settings, so once it's all set.
it's perfectly fine.

Having said that, I'm about to push a change, all you will have to do
is go into the settings, select VDA High Quality, and it should be all
nice for you
