I can't imagine that there was a program name with the same title as the
recording that is playing.

I'm sure you'll find a logic problem that can be fixed.  My bigger concern
now is the mythfrontend v0-79 32 bit on the FireTV 4K.  It was working
perfectly until I rebuilt the backend.  I even uninstalled it and
reinstalled it but no change. But still got the  "Video Frame
Buffering Failed Too Many Times" error. I don't remember any backend
settings that are needed to support mythfrontend on Android different from
a PC mythfrontend or even on Shield TV 64 bit
