I set up my FireTV 4K Max with the mythtv-frontend Pre32.  It really is
having issues. I have it set up the same as the previous version. Leanfront
is still showing the videos perfectly, so it's not the recording. It took a
while to get it working because the backend is on Archlinux and I had to
dig to get it to allow the FireTV to connect because mariadb is configured
differently on Arch.  If I'm the only one reporting issues with this
version, it must be Arch configuration. The backend is a 11th gen Intel NUC
so it should not be a performance issue and the mythfrontend on the NUC
plays the same video perfectly just like Leanfront.

Also I've reset the FIreTV and that didn't help.

Any ideas?
