For UK recordings (h264-mpeg4 avc (part 10)) 1920*1080 50Hz performance 
is unchanged for latest master on FireTV max.

For FireTV 4K i get picture judder (fine with Leanfront) but this again 
is the same as before, I suspect the TV.

Shield TV fine for Leanfront and frontend.

Mediacodec hardware decoding and playback selected.
