I find all of the pi-utils very useful and thank MikeB for creating them.

Recently with changes happening I noticed that pi-setup_mythtv_31.sh has a small typo. If you choose to install mythplugins it fails due to the typo. The command should be sudo apt install mythplugins-light

I suggest trying these utilities as they have saved me lots of time. https://github.com/MikeB2013/pi-utils

Jim,
Thanks, I have updated the script on github repository.

Mike.

In testing pi-setup_mythtv_v31.sh I've found it works great on the standard PI OS Desktop version. If you want to start with PI OS Lite, you would need to add the following to the script: This may not affect many, but I found this out in testing for someone who wanted a barebones RPi3B+ installation of frontend only for v31.

Code: Select all

sudo apt install --no-install-recommends xserver-xorg

This may not affect many, but I found this out in testing for someone who wanted a barebones RPi3B+ installation of frontend only for v31.

I found out something has changed. Today with the latest kernel 5.4.51 changes all I did was create a Raspberry PI OS Lite system, then clone the pi-utils from https://github.com/MikeB2013/pi-utils and run pi-utils/pi-setup_mythtv_31.sh, reboot, then run ./pi-mythbackend-helper.sh, followed by a reboot.

At that point I run ./run_mythsetup.sh and it went into mythtv-setup like you'd expect. No need to install xserver-xorg. Now all I have to do is move the system to a USB3 SSD for speed.

With the notification of the Bintray site being decommissioned [1], are there plans to update the pi-utils scripts to use the new https://dl.orangedox.com/pCBmBm download location?

[1] See notice at the top of the MythTV_Light wiki page.

So in the source list for updates the old link doesn't work anymore (deb http://dl.bintray.com/bennettpeter/deb/ buster myth31) due to the take down of the old site.

Is there are replacement link for updates that is on the new site?
