Something strange is going on. I was testing something else unrelated to 
V32Pre this weekend and had a new backend on Ubuntu setup with v31 
lastest. I could not get the FireTV Max to run the 
mythfrontend-20210819-arm-v31.0-163-g5da2523154-dirty.apk correctly 
either. Same issues as I first saw on Pre32. The backend recordings are 
fine I can use Leanfront, Kodi, or mythfrontend on the Ubuntu machine to 
play them fine.  But FireTV Max can't handle it.  Today, I'm going to 
setup the Max on my production backend (v31) and see what happens 
because when I first got the Max it worked as good as the Shield on v31
