I think the reason for the black screen could be related to the hard coded paths for the menu xml files, that certainly seems to be the problem that I’m having.

RThe regards,

I built, on catelina using your latest build script. (yes it a PIA to keep having to say [y])
I get exactly the same error as my high sierra system, namely missing ff_codec_id_string. It is not trivial to skip as it occurs in many places.

I tried your dmg but get a pitch dark screen, not even the option of setup

There's now an ansible script to help reduce all of those yeses.  It should work but will need one patch file in its current state. Just let me know if you go that route.  Here's what you'll need to do for ansible (besides the patch...).
sudo port -v selfupdate
sudo port upgrade outdated
sudo port install py38-ansible
sudo ansible-playbook-3.8 -i hosts.macports qt5.yml

Also, the build script is updated here in the second post (I had some errors in the older versions):

What version of QT and Xcode are you using?  

Can you send out your output from when you run the configure command?  I'll see if I can find any missing dependencies.

Also, try downloading and running these two .dmg's.  These are the versions I built off of my VM with a non-case sensitive filesystem with Xcode 10.3 and 10.4.  Maybe one of them will make the black screen go away...

BTW, do you have an old .mythtv directory in your User folders?  If so, it might be worth archiving it and seeing if the compiled app comes up.

Good luck!!!!
