How is the 4k max with leanfront and mythfrontend? I do not have a 4k 
max so I don't know how well it works.

The fire stick 4k does not play mpeg4 part 2 (divx/xvid), but the specs 
look like the 4k max may play it. You would have to use mkvmerge or 
another tool to convert to mp4 or mkv, because leanfront will not play 
avi files.
