[mythtv-users] FireTVstick 4k will not play DVD .iso images

I posted about this last year.  It's still something I would like to be 
able to do, since I have lots of these files on NAS.  This particular 
one is in a normal Videos folder.  Attached are extracts of mythfrontend 
logs from Fedora 29 x86_64 master head and from the Firestick running 
Peter's build of May 19, both trying to play the same file.  Also a 
Firestick log with a normal Video.

It seems likely that the Firestick build just doesn't have all the 
required libraries, or maybe a plugin, but I haven't found a way of 
running mythfrontend --version or getting the same info from github.

Other Firestick apps can play the .iso files, so this isn't a critical 
problem.  More of a puzzle.
