<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>
