Hi Jim,<br>
<br>
I just tested v33 and didn't have a problem
downloading this theme. It<br>
did take a lot longer than downloading the LCARS
theme, but about the<br>
same time as downloading the Arclight theme. Not
sure that means<br>
anything.<br>
<br>
Try manually downloading the themes description
package:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://themes.mythtv.org/themes/repository/33/themes.zip" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://themes.mythtv.org/themes/repository/33/themes.zip</a><br>
<br>
And then the Functionality theme itself:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mythtv/themes/33/Functionality-31.2_33.zip" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mythtv/themes/33/Functionality-31.2_33.zip</a><br>
<br>
Let me know if these work. They did for me.<br>
<br>

<div>Could it be the Pre-33 version of
mythfrontend? I checked this morning and that
is the latest.</div>

<div>I downloaded the Functionality theme but since it's
on a FireTV Android device, I have no idea what to do
with the zip file?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The whole reason to have the Functionality theme is
to view the Schedule page and pick things to record.
It has the 4 hour 14 line format.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I tried downloading the themes you mentioned and
all failed with the error mentioned above. It must be
the pre-version of mythfrontend-android.</div>

<div>I just downloaded and installed the Android mythfrontend
fies/33(v33.1), mythfrontend-20230206-arm-v33.1.apk on my
FireTV 4K stick. It also has issues with changing the
themes.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I tried to download and change to every theme listed and
they all return an error (ERROR: Downloading theme package
from master backend.)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Not sure of a workaround since this is android.</div>

<p>Workaround:</p>
Theme download with adb<br>
Open in browser:
<a href="http://themes.mythtv.org/themes/repository/33/themes.zip" target="_blank">http://themes.mythtv.org/themes/repository/33/themes.zip</a><br>
unzip themes.zip<br>
There is a directory under 33 for each theme containing a
themeinfo.xml file<br>
for example 33/Steppes/themeinfo.xml<br>
look in the themeinfo.xml for the theme you want<br>
Find a line like this in the file<br>
<downloadurl><a href="http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mythtv/themes/33/Steppes-2.54_33.zip" target="_blank">http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mythtv/themes/33/Steppes-2.54_33.zip</a></downloadurl><br>
Run that url in a browser to download the theme zip from that url.<br>
<a href="http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mythtv/themes/33/Steppes-2.54_33.zip" target="_blank">http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/mythtv/themes/33/Steppes-2.54_33.zip</a><br>
Convert the zip file to a tar:<br>
unzip Steppes-2.54_33.zip<br>
tar cvf Steppes-2.54_33.tar Steppes<br>
Upload the tar to the android tv device:<br>
adb connect f-dev.lan<br>
adb push Steppes-2.54_33.tar /data/local/tmp/<br>
Copy it to mythfrontend:<br>
adb shell<br>
run-as org.mythtv.mythfrontend<br>
cd files/themes<br>
tar xvf /data/local/tmp/Steppes-2.54_33.tar<br>
Ignore the many error messages messages "tar: chown 1000:1099
'Steppes/Images/Recording/recording.26.png': Operation not
permitted"<br>
Go into mythfrontend and select the theme<br>
Disconnect adb:<br>
adb disconnect<br>
