I took a chance and did delete the 64bit version of mythfrontend from my <br>
Shield TV and installed the 32bit version <br>
(mythfrontend-20200716-arm-v31.0-79-g89d1991ef2.apk). It worked, but <br>
the problem still exists.<br>
<br>
So it a Shield TV problem (2017 version hardware) regardless of 32 or 64 <br>
bit apk. I've always thought the Shield TV had a better picture than <br>
the FireTV 4K but I'd love to eliminate this problem short of buying <br>
another FireTV 4K<br>
<br>
Ideas on setting differences for the Shield TV?<br>

<br></blockquote><div>So maybe I have a fix. I removed the 32 bit and reinstalled the 64 bit version. But I also noticed I only was using 6GB of my 12GB internal storage. So I figured why not remove that 128GB USB flash drive. So I logically removed that drive and rebooted the Shield TV.</div><div><br></div><div>The problem has gone away completely. So the question is could a bad or marginal USB drive in a Shield TV be used by the system or mythfrontend for temporary storage or cache that might affect performance?</div><div><br></div><div>Jim A</div><div><br></div></div></div>
