Hi folks,
I've been playing with Leanfront on my first-generation Fire TV Stick 4k
device, and overall the experience has been nice. However, twice now
while watching a recording I've had the TV Stick spontaneously reboot
itself.
Looking at
<https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201640900>,
I see that there are four different Fire TV Stick 4k models:
- 4k 1st generation
- 4k 2nd generation
- 4k Max 1st generation
- 4k Max 2nd generation
My wonders at this point are:
- Is there any way to pinpoint the actual cause of the occasional
reboot? Coming from the full-blown linux land, I see that I can't even
run dmesg as the user that you get via ADB without rooting the device.
My hunch is that it's a video/GPU driver/decoder bug, or I guess an OOM
issue.
- My initial experience with the full-blown MythTV frontend for Android
was very disappointing. But I'm curious if part of that is due to my
Fire TV Stick 4k being the "worst" of the entire lineup. For anybody
who has upgraded from a 1st-generation 4k stick to one of the newer
models, have you noticed any improvement with respect to MythTV?
Specifically, a more responsive UI, faster load times, or most
importantly better video quality when using the full MythTV frontend?
While the *actual* cause of the occasional reboot is unknown to me at
this point, I'm curious if upgrading to a newer stick might help out.
Whether it be because of an updated GPU, more RAM, or simply being a
device that has seen less wear and tear.
And actually, now that I've typed all of the above, I now realize that
the reboot could be as simple as my USB power being insufficient to run
the device during periods of heavy load. While I test another adapter,
I still feel like I'd like some input to the above.
Thoughts?
Thanks
-WD
