[mythtv-users] :New web app for setup and replacement for mythweb

[James Abernathy]

I just did a test of installing on a RPI4 4GB and configuring with webapp.
TL:DR it worked.

I started with Raspberry PI OS Lite and put that on a USB NVME drive.

1. update system
2. install using ansible, the dependencies
3. install mariadb-server
4. Built from source per wiki, but I forgot to create the user mythtv which
caused an issue when I tried to create the /srv/mythtv directories and
chown on them to mythtv. So I fixed that then.
4. On the pi console I ran mythbackend.
5. On a remote PC I ran Chrome and used the webapp to configure the backend
completely.

Some issues:
1. I've noticed that you can't use the browser refresh on a page like guide
and have it refresh the guide. it's just 404's. I was doing the refresh
while waiting for the EIT to update the listings.
2. Sometimes clicking on the restart backend fixes the issue and sometimes
you have to either reboot or CTRL-C out of mythbackend and rerun it.
3. If a long title on the recordings page or upcoming page doesn't fit, the
first line is cut in half.  when I went full screen on the browser it fixed
it.  Not sure if you have a way to make adjustments to font size or just
truncate to make the first 2 lines visible.
