Thanks, using this info I ran a test where my Nvidia Shield TV was running
Android Mythtv-frontend VERSION: v31.0/fixes/31 31.20200101-1 91 QT/5.14.1
DBSchema/1361 which is the latest I see on the android wiki links (
mythfrontend-20200323-arm64-v31.0.apk
<https://dl.bintray.com/bennettpeter/generic/mythtv_31/android_64/:mythfrontend-20200323-arm64-v31.0.apk>)
not sure why the version from telnet query version isn't the same.

I select Live TV and once it starts I backup a few seconds to make the
video not so jumpy.  This is standard practice for me on Live TV on any
frontend platform. I started this test at 16:17 and at 16:31, I noticed a
lot of jitter in the picture.  I checked the adb logcat and the display was
posting a lot of entries per second.  At the beginning you'd see 1 per
sec.  Normally I'd backup a few seconds to fix it for a while.  However,
sometimes it fixes itself on it's own.  This time it fixed before I could
come back in and skip backwards.  The issue is my adb linux system is in
another room.

So I posted a log file on my google drive and the link is below. You see
the number of entries increase around 16:31. Hopefully, this data will help
point to a solution.
