<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>
