Hmmm. That will be hard to implement,
because the autoconfigure code is completely
separate from the GUI backend picker.
I will think abut it, but making the current
code just wait for longer than 2 seconds would
be easier. After applying my second patch,
just change this line:
--- libs/libmyth/mythcontext.cpp 2007-11-24 22:14:44.000000000
+1100
+++ libs/libmyth/mythcontext.cpp.new 2007-11-25 11:28:29.000000000

// 3. Try to automatically find the single backend:
if (autoSelect)
{
- int count = UPnPautoconf();
+ int count = UPnPautoconf(5000);
if (count == 0)
failure = "No UPnP backends found";
Actually, if it is a regular thing on this machine,
just do a "sleep 5; mythfrontend" in the startup script?

Assuming you are talking about the AppleTV,
these patches should both support the Apple remote?
