I was easily able to install Leia 18.7 using the 'Downloader' app on the Firestick and also easily installed the next-pvr Addon.
Unfortunately whilst live TV seems to stream OK, whenever I try and play TV I have recorded the stream might play a few seconds or buffer and then crash or crash immediately.

I'm curious what the content of the TV stream you are attempting. Anything interlaced (MPEG2, MPEG4) has caused me problems with hardware decoding on the AFTV - i solved my issues with transcoding to remove the interlacing and setting DVD's to software decoding. I'm not familiar with the PVR stuff at all, but I do have a recollection that a lot of folks had problems with interlaced content from OTA recordings.
Hope this helps.
Thanks to Martin who identified I had not uploaded a full debug log, here it is : http://paste.kodi.tv/soqevejide
Here is a log of Kodi 18.6 showing first playback by streaming as a file, secondly crashing whilst playing the same file as a TV Recording: http://paste.kodi.tv/esucerixaw
I have put a sample video clip here : www.zen101388.zen.co.uk/Breakfast/Breakfast_20200527_06000900.ts
I also took the liberty of making a brief video recording on my phone of what the issues actually look like :
