[mythtv-users] Controlling Mythfrontend from remote computer

[Raymond T. Gaida]

I am trying to have mythfrontend run on the mythbox and send keystrokes to
control the frontend from a remote location. Ideally I would like to have
the frontend displayed on the TV while I use my laptop to configure the
frontend settings. I don't want to actually see the mythbox desktop on my
laptop, just pass keystrokes. This could help me to alleviate buying a
wireless keyboard.

VNC and X-Servers are not the answer as the display being sent over the
network slows things down, plus I don't see the changes on the TV. (I think
VNC is starting another instance of mythfrontend) I have tried ssh and
opened mythfrontend on the remote display, but when I try to use the laptop
keyboard to control the TV's display nothing happens.

Am I using ssh wrong, or is there a better solution to this problem?

Thanks,
