Leanfront is working OK here too. I'm on a mid-gen Nvidia Shield. I still
prefer a really old side-load build of the full MythTVFrontend.
* [Minor] Leanfront is a bit glitchy on starting playing after a skip but
this is pretty minor. MythTVFrontend is smoother in these conditions.
Maybe it builds a larger local buffer before the playback starts.
* RWNDSTICKY and FFWDSTICKY - I much prefer the ability to semi-smooth
FF/RW in increments of x. My brain understands the flow of time much better
than the current small skip / big skip methods. When commercial skip fails
I usually 3x, 5x, 10x,20x... fast forward with additional presses of the FF
key. *I find the intelligent return to playback based on how fast I was
going excellent in MythTVFrontend.* (I really miss how my 2000 Tivo would
do true smooth FF/RW but our ability to do smooth FF/RW is limited by the
underlying decode/display library & modern compression types and is not a
MythTV topic.)
* Remote key binding - Between various apps it is getting more challenging
to find compatible keybindings for FLIRC IR remote widget. It would be
helpful if LeanFront allowed for key binding editing.
* I have not figured out yet how LiveTV interacts with current
schedule listings, but I also haven't put much effort in. I would like the
listing schedule to be the primary LiveTV interface over a simple channel
list. I only use LiveTV a couple of times a year.
* How much did I skip - I appreciate how MythTVFrontend says how much
time was skipped in a commercial skip. Big skips are highly suspect and I
usually undo with a commercial back skip and manually FFWDSTICKY
Thank you for the hard work. While MythTVFrontend is still my preference,
I understand it is much harder to maintain and distribute. Plus its
interface is getting dated.
Thank you thank you!!
