Using a TVHeadend server, and the TVHE PVR client, I get beautiful deinterlaced playback for about 5-10 seconds, then the players locks up until a reboot.
The positive news is using the 'dream Player TV' app, which is just a TVHeadend client...1080 interlaced h264 content is playing perfectly now on the fire stick 4K, it definitely wasn't before as I checked when I first got the device.
Im using the 18.2 RC, Im happy to provide logs etc if they can be of use to anyone.
I am considering changing the advanced settings to let it have a go at the DVDs -- might take me a bit. [Edit: DVDs with MPEG2 480i seem to work much better -- not finding any problems with cursory inspection]
