there were fears that the older Pis couldn't support a full
fledged mythfronted due to memory constaints and poor cpu
performance. But with the Pi 2, I wouldn't think there would
be any hardware limitations to this. I was able to compile
and run the frontend just fine - navigating around felt just
fine, but obvioisly I'm unable to actually play videos.<br>

FWIW my experience with android mythfrontend seems to indicate that
1G ram is ok (nexus7 2012) but has trouble playing HD and SD above
real time.<br>
my 2G SGS4 seems ok in this regard and can play HD at faster than
real time.<br>
<br>
Not enough data points yet to draw any firm conclusions in this
regard.<br>
<br>
The way the player uses buffers would require a complete redesign to
reduce RAM memory requirements significantly.<br>
As well as all the caching that happens in the frontend ...<br>
