Been running mythtv for years. A newer setting is the security pin on the mythtv-setup – general page. It appeared as blank and needed to be 0000.

Update 2018-10-31
Before I started any updates, I noticed Chip Porter uses HD Home Run. I decided to check it out, but the reviews were just awful. They say “setting up a DVR on a PC is difficult, we make it easy”. I guess they learned just how difficult it is.
I need to update mythtv to support the latest python, but that meant I needed a new QT.
First I installed from QT: https://www.qt.io/. That put it in /opt/Qt5.11.2/.
Then I created
installed it, created ~/.config/qtchooser and put this in there:
/opt/Qt5.11.2/bin
/opt/Qt5.11.2/lib
and checked it with
qmake -v
QMake version 3.0
Using Qt version 5.5.1 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
I also finally found a PPT but didn’t use it.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:beineri/opt-qt-5.11.1-xenial
I went to my mythtv src directory, did a ‘git pull’ and
./configure \
–enable-proc-opt \
–enable-libmp3lame \
–enable-libx264 \
–enable-libvpx \
–enable-libxvid \
–enable-sdl \
–with-bindings=perl,php \
–perl-config-opts=”INSTALLDIRS=vendor” \
–disable-mythlogserver \
–enable-nonfree
make -j 5
still failed with
mythversion.h:9:2: error: #error You need Qt version >= 5.2.0 to compile MythTV.
#error You need Qt version >= 5.2.0 to compile MythTV.

I ended up using ansible https://github.com/MythTV/ansible
First, install the package, then git the source, then run
ansible-playbook -i hosts qt5.yml
That seemed to do it, install worked and kodi looks ok.
Mythweb is always screwed so we’ll dig into that now.
