Well done! (And interesting as it's a 32 bit word of all 1s.)

It's in the 3rd Description paragraph in the Play Store page:

     https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mythtv

but, the app itself doesn't display anything that I could find.

Yes. You should be able to delete it, press the vertical ellipses in
the upper right, then Delete. If you're able to duplicate this, you
can open an issue on Github. In the output of:

     <yourBackend>:6544/Content/GetLiveStream?Id=<failingId>

the value of PercentComplete and the three Status* elements would
be of interest.

The Id is available with GetLiveStreamList. The actual Services API
used to delete the stream is:

      <yourBackend>:6544/Content/RemoveLiveStream?Id=<someId>

which would be safe to use if the app isn't doing it for you.
