I had to uninstall v0-31 before v0-34 would take, and the Firestick has 
updated itself too.  It looks as if the forward and back skips are now 
working in my lo-res h264 recordings.  BBC HD recordings often have a 
progressive ident before switching to interlaced, and may just fail to 
start or freeze later.

I posted earlier about previewgen failing with IPTV recordings, but now 
I find that previews are missing for several other recordings, mainly 
HD, on that box, running 2019-render. ISTR that I did a mass delete a 
few weeks ago, expecting that they would be regenerated...
