The "<?php echo root ?>" will return the root of the mythweb site (e.g.
http://backend/mythweb/). It's then appending "remote/" to this URL.
The request parameters are then "ping=frontend", so the complete URL
will be something like:
http://backend/mythweb/remote/?ping=frontend
On my combined frontend/backend, calling this will give the current
status (e.g. Playback Video ......), whereas using an invalid frontend
hostname will give a "0". The frontend name used here is (I think)
whatever's shown in the Frontends list on the remote screen.
HTH,
Robin
