I agree with the praise for Leanfront. My wife and I are using it for 90% of our Mythtv activity.  Basically all my wife’s viewing is Leanfront and I use it except for Video editing and schedule management.

Leanfront is definitely the best video quality on Shield TV and FireTV 4K; with the Shield TV being better than the FireTV 4k. Both mythtv-frontend and leanfront have very good video quality, but Leanfront is the smoothest, and doesn’t suffer the timeline problems that happen 10-15 minutes into a playback like Android mythfrontend.
