Mythtv backend on RPi4 with remote setup
On my production mythtv backend on Ubuntu, I routinely ssh -X
user@IP-address into the backend and run mythtv-setup to make changes to
the backend setup.

I just tried installing mythtv backend on an RPI4 4GB model running RPi OS
Lite and when I tried the same ssh -X user@IP-address I got an error about
missing libxcinema.. or something like that.

I have in the past installed mythtv on an RPI4 both frontend and backend
with only PI OS Lite using MikeB's pi-utils scripts. But only while using
the HDMI TV and keyboard locally plugged in.

What am I missing? I thought I'd done this on the raspberry before, but I'm
puzzled today.

Never mind. I totally re-did this and it worked the second time. I think
the pc running ssh -X ...... must have not been setup right.
