Certainly understand the tinkering. Last week I had to refinish a table for
my son, but was tired of scrubbing stain off my hands. No back to mysql
tables :-)

I have completed the Mythtv combo on RPI OS 64 bits.  The key is get the
latest beta and updates for it.   Then follow the Build from Source wiki.
Can't use  ansible. need to force the install part to ./usr/bin to make
things easier. Then use the pi-mythbackend-setup.sh from Mike B.

I now have backend, and frontend, running with XMLTV using
tv_grab_zz_sdjson_sqlite as my grabber.  The quality of the video for mpeg2
OTA using the software only opengl on the RPI4 is working pretty good right
now on fixes/31 v31.0-85-...
