No, but if you read the threads where it's discussed, you'll see the issues involved - which are largely the same regardless of which you choose. As I say, they vary in importance between devices - RPi only has 512M RAM for example while some ARM devices have 1G or more. But the same issues apply - is the video hardware API documented ? Without restrictions on redistribution ? Does it support what's needed (codecs) ? Is there anyone with the skills **AND** the itch to spend the time writing the code to allow Myth to use that API ?

Of course, as an embedded engineer that may put you in a position to consider the last of those questions - do you have an itch ;)
