Did you leave the

   exit 0

at the end of /etc/rc.local ?

Did you add an ampersand to the end of the command to fork the process 
and allow the machine to finish booting? i.e.

   sleep 10 && QT_QPA_EGLFS_ALWAYS_SET_MODE="1" QT_QPA_PLATFORM=eglfs 

mythfrontend --logpath=/tmp/ &

?

I never saw any systemd errors - and I did a lot of debugging trying to 
get various things to work.

Note that even running without a window manager, I still wasn't happy 
with the playback and now I only use mythfrontend to program the 
backend. For watching content, I switched to kodi, which is in general 
much more responsive, even with a window manager, but doesn't offer all 
the functionality for recording new programs that mythfrontend does.

Regards

Jeff
