I have one RPi4 (32) mythtv 31 backend working great, so now I need  a new project.  This Covid quarintee sucks. No travel and no bars, so computer projects are all I have. Maybe it's time to learn a new programming language. Not much use for Fortran, COBOL, and IBM 360 assembler anymore.

what I did

wiki->build-from-src
dependacies without ansible
build

IIRC I needed to prune 2 or three items from the list. If you struggle I’ll use dpkg to generate a list of what was installed.
