FireTV wonky aspect ratio: far too wide

[ChairmanMkay]

Of the functions I have tested the most problematic is emailing a crash report. There is no email client available. I'm researching a side load option. Popup video always crashes on my 4k stick. I am using a USB ethernet bridge for throughput.

I am able to navigate with fire remote.

I had hoped to watch (skim) 8 daily hours of senate trial video. After a frustrating 9 minutes of searching the video does play full screen but the aspect ratio is extremely wonky. It fills the screen width but the height is not commensurate. I selected 720p video.

There is no official AndroidTV support nor FireTV support.

@Alexander-TX did a pr do give DPAD support. I dont yet understand the reasons exactly why it was not possible to get the code changes into master. I build an older version of this but sadly since some days no videos played anymore. But you can try alex dpad results, if you want:

I will try to Integrate the code into the master, the next days. But I am not a pro android professional. Perhaps somebody can help.

Your aspect problem fits for me into this category.

EDIT:
Build run succesfully:

@ChairmanMkay Could you test 0.20.0? Make sure you backup database of 0.19.8 in case you want to revert.
