[mythtvnz] Raspberry Pi as a frontend

[Rory Grant]

Been happily running OSMC/Kodi as a frontend on a first generation pi model
b in my home theatre for 2-3 years now. You need to pay a licence fee to
get the video codecs, and enter a licence key in a config file, but there
is a GUI menu in Kodi for this. Other than that, same as any other front
end.

My home theatre system has no HDMI input. The best solution I've found was
to put an HDMI switch that splits out the audio to spdif.

I can access myth for live TV and for recordings. The rest of my media
lives in a Nas.
