Description
There are some differences in the Fire TV 4K from prior models. With a few small fixes it works very well as a HD (1080) frontend. It does not work well as a $K video player with MythTV. Hiowever the price is good so it is about the lowest priced frontend available.

To use the Fire stick $K with MythTV some settings are needed, apart from this patch. In playback profile you need to set MPEG2 as software decode. H264 and H265 can be software decode or mediacodec. When setting software decode set CPUs to 4. Use OpenGL render. For deinterlacer user either Linear Blend (HW-GL) or Bob (2x, hw-gl). Do not use Linear Blend (2X), that causes slowdowns. In advanced playback settings enable AVSYNC2 and YV12, or AVSYNC2, UVYV and Extra Stage. The second set seems to be slightly smoother.
Fire Stick 4K needs a 32 bit build.
