Audio issues with mythfrontend on Android version #169
Description
I have a FireTV 4K Max plugged into a UHD 4K TV. I was trying to track down why the video playback would not maintain the correct frame rate or play with audio correctly. In discussions on the mailing list I discovered that having 5.1 enabled or even stereo with any of the Digital Capabilities checked caused the video to playback erratically, particularly after trying to skip using the arrow buttons.
What works is setting it to Stereo and uncheck all the Digital Capabilities. With even the first Dolby Digital box checked will cause this failure.
This is more of an issue on the Firetv 4K Max than the older non-Max. That's odd since the Max is slightly faster.
I use a profile that is Android MediaCodec with decode all in Hardware. It works great when in stereo but fails badly otherwise. Unfortunately, in stereo a lot of background noise filters thru and becomes more prominent in Stereo. Advance Audio read-ahead is setup to the default 100.
