I appreciate all the help on this, but I finally realized that all my
recent problems have been because I'm trying to make the Cube perform as
well as my Nvidia Shield TV 2017 model. I never really had a problem
with the Nvidia on Mythtv-Frontend of Mythtv-leanfront. My only issues
were on non-MythTV apps like Hulu+ and Netflix frame rate on European
films. I solved those issue with beta fixes from Nvidia, so I really
have no issues with Shield TV.
I solved my FireTV Cube problem this morning by returning it to Amazon
for a full refund.
