Yeah, it won't play through leanfront, but it was playing through mythtv
v32 when it was there, but I uninstalled since I couldn't use it due to not
being able to get gesture support to work. I've reinstalled it due to
another user making it work so I thought I'd try again.

However now I'm stuck because I can't edit the hostname popup. I've even
tried using another machine via kde connect to do remote input but nothing
has allowed me to edit the field...

Is there another way to set the mythtv servername / ip in android?

thanks,
