I just downloaded and installed the Android mythfrontend
fies/33(v33.1), mythfrontend-20230206-arm-v33.1.apk on my FireTV 4K stick.
It also has issues with changing the themes.

I tried to download and change to every theme listed and they all return an
error (ERROR: Downloading theme package from master backend.)

Not sure of a workaround since this is android.
