This morning I got around to testing the v32 32bit version of mythfrontend
on a FireTV 4K and a FireTV 4K MAX.  Mediacode-dec is unusable on those
devices with freezes and crashes. I can make opengl usable with 4 CPUs and
Low-quality deinterlacing. I also have the Audio read ahead set to 800ms.
Anything lower causes issues.

I occasionally  see jumps in playback that are hard to describe. It's like
the picture instantly jumps forward a few tenths of a second.  I don't know
if this is a Mythfrontend issue or the network provider's original signal.
I notice this same problem on streaming services like DirecTV streaming
service. I know the bit rate on OTA signals has fallen since the FCC repack
occured.
I'll retest the Shield TV on both Mediacodec and OpenGL to see which is
better if I can tell. But on the FireTV I have to use OpenGL to make it
usable.
