<p>How is the 4k max with leanfront and
mythfrontend? I do not have a 4k max so I
don't know how well it works. <br>
</p>
<p>The fire stick 4k does not play mpeg4 part 2
(divx/xvid), but the specs look like the 4k
max may play it. You would have to use
mkvmerge or another tool to convert to mp4 or
mkv, because leanfront will not play avi
files.<br>

<div>I find the Max very comparable to the Shield TV
on mythfrontend except start up time. Video
quality, to me, is the same. I have always used
the Shield TV and FireTV 4K to watch either mpeg2
recordings or my videos which are mp4. I created
those videos by using mythfrontend to take
recordings, edit out the commercials and use a
mythtv job (sendTVtoNAS) to convert them to mp4
and move them to my video directory which is on
the NAS. They were as well on FireTV as any
frontend. Leanfront also works. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I got sentTVtoNAS on the mythtv forum and
slightly modified it. That script uses
handbrake to compress and convert. It first strips
the parts that are marked as commercials and then
converts. <a

<div>I set up my FireTV 4K Max with the mythtv-frontend
Pre32. It really is having issues. I have it set up the
same as the previous version. Leanfront is still showing
the videos perfectly, so it's not the recording. It took
a while to get it working because the backend is on
Archlinux and I had to dig to get it to allow the FireTV
to connect because mariadb is configured differently on
Arch. If I'm the only one reporting issues with this
version, it must be Arch configuration. The backend is a
11th gen Intel NUC so it should not be a performance
issue and the mythfrontend on the NUC plays the same
video perfectly just like Leanfront.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Also I've reset the FIreTV and that didn't help.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any ideas?</div>

<p>For UK recordings (h264-mpeg4 avc (part 10)) 1920*1080 50Hz
performance is unchanged for latest master on FireTV max.</p>
<p>For FireTV 4K i get picture judder (fine with Leanfront) but
this again is the same as before, I suspect the TV.</p>
<p>Shield TV fine for Leanfront and frontend.</p>
<p>Mediacodec hardware decoding and playback selected.</p>

<p>I also have a Pre32 backend setup on a Raspberry Pi 4 running
Bullseye 64 bit and the FireTV 4K Max running the new
mythfrontend v32 had the same issues with it. So I'll try to
setup today to capture some logs.</p>

<p>You need to be more specific than "It really is having issues.".
What precisely is the problem?</p>
