> 1. A status start page:

I'm personally much more interested in the listings, but I've written
things such that the index page is actually a redirect to whatever you
want.  It'd be easy to change that URL and forward to watever page you'd
want.  As for the status page itself, that may have to wait for someone
to do it.  But the new object formats should be pretty easy to help
organize this sort of stuff.

You'll also find that the new mythweb is considerably less cpu-intensive
than the previous one, at least when it comes to sql queries, etc.

The listing colors are still "todo". I just grabbed them from mythtv's
own gui xml settings.  I need to implement a better way of coloring
things, and allowing it to be user-controlable, but it's one of the
lower things on my list at the moment (the higher things being
core-functionality type stuff).

> 2. Streaming Webserver

As long as mytweb has access to the video files, it'd be really easy to
merely provide a link to them for watching/download.  If you want
resizing and live-streaming, that will probably require a lot more work,
and is beyond my current abilities.

> 3. MythMusic integration with MythWeb

This is high on my list, too.  However, last I heard, mythmusic is
currently tied to the frontend, not the backend, and there isn't (yet?)
a way to control the frontends via the backend.  Once something like
this is implemented (and hopefully in the process, I'll be allowed to
redo the mythmusic database portions), I really want to get all of this
set up.
