I have v32.0.60 on a firestick 4K and v32.0.68 on a Sony Google TV. Both
fail to download Themes.  But for me the mythfrontend on Android has ceased
to work correctly. Lip sync problems and you can't skip forward without
having it go into rapid play mode.. Completely unusable.  We use Leanfront
instead on all our Android devices. I've gotten used to the interface and
the picture has always been the best for OTA ATSC 1.0 MPEG2 content.
