v31 how to modify playback profile?

I know this is a really stupid question, but I have been wrestling with
this for nearly an hour now. I have a Raspberry Pi 4 set up as a frontend,
and it sort of works, but playback is very jerky. The instructions for
Raspberry Pi 4 on the Wiki say that I need to create a playback profile
specifically for the Pi 4, but I cannot figure out HOW to do this. I can
create and name a new profile, but then I cannot find the place where I can
modify the settings for this (or any other) profile. What am I missing?

I'm running mythtv-light v31 on a Pi 4.

Thank you,
--Greg

Hmm, yes, it doesn't look as if it's going anywhere.

The new one appears as the current selection after a quit and reenter.
That's a feature of most of the settings edits now. Confusing...

The right arrow to drill down is the thing that causes confusion with
most people. If you don't know about that you are stuck.

Even though I *did* know about it (from setting up capture cards on a brand
new install), it still is never clear to me when I need to hit Enter/OK
vs. right arrow, or Esc/STOP vs. left arrow. I often get it wrong and lose
a bunch of changes I just made.

At any rate, thanks to everyone here for pointing me in the right direction
(pun not intended). I was able to set up a "Pi4" profile as described on
the Wiki, and it works great. Picture quality is good and no jerkiness.
