My firetvstick 4k also pauses on mythfrontend startup for what seems 
'quite long' but on testing looks like less than 20 seconds.  Maybe it's 
longer after an update.

Its frontend log (adb logcat mfe:D *:S) complains about a bad locale 
setting and multiple missing instances of themeinfo.xml files; gives 
info on font substitutions and enumerates codecs.  After that it 
'attempted to flush to a non-raster surface' and suggests (consider 
using Qt::WA_PaintOnScreen to exclude from backingstore sync) before 
displaying the frontend menu.

It works well with UK DVB-T SD content but some 1080 stuff suffers from 
a lack of available power.
