Thanks for the pointer to this.  I had found only the older v0-14, and 
assumed that Peter was doing more of his own testing before making a new 
post.

v0-31 is now on my FireTVstick 4k and first impressions are good.  Its 
backend (Fedora 30, render2019 branch) has 452 recordings and selection 
worked out-of-the-box; but skipping seems broken for me too.  The >> is 
highlighted but does nothing, while << goes back to the beginning. h264 
playback is excellent.

More experiments later.
