You can create a livetv session and manage the recording directly, but 
any scheduled recordings must be inserted into the database manually and 
the scheduler run.  Also note that if your reason for not having 
database access is because you are doing this over the internet, 
mythproto should not be considered anything like secure.  Should this be 
your intent, there is a patch floating around the internet from a 
several year old version with authentication, encryption, and limited 
transcoding support.  It will not work with modern code, but could be a 
starting point.
