    I'm having difficulties getting themes to download on android
    mythfrontend.  After selecting a new theme, I get "Error: Downloading
    theme package from master backend".  I refreshed downloadable themes,
    then stepped through each theme.

    The original three themes worked (list below), but all others had the
    error.  Tried on a Walmart-ONN-streaming and Amazon Firestick, both
    boxes have the same error.  Mythfrontend (on the mythtv-backend box)
    works for all that I selected.  I tried both 32 and 64 bit versions on
    the ONN box; then the 32 bit version on the Firestick.

    Original three that worked:
    MythCenter 1.6
    MythCenter-wide 1.10
    Terra 1.5

    Version:
    don at johnny:~$ sudo mythbackend --version
    Please attach all output as a file in bug reports.
    MythTV Version : v32.0+fixes.202301041904.417fcaed6e~ubuntu22.04.1
    MythTV Branch : fixes/32
    Network Protocol : 91
    Library API : 32.20200101-1
    QT Version : 5.15.3

    I'm pretty sure this worked on the previous version
    (mythfrontend-20220929-arm-v33-Pre-903-gd21470bb3c.apk), but I've
    changed lots of stuff since then.  Any suggestions on what to look for?

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.

I seem to be having better luck (Version master (v33-pre924...), most everything that I can access is working; but the button-challenged remote limits things.  We tried Leanfront a while back; things went pretty well, but had a rough time adjusting to the menu system.
