Well, it would be possible to extend Myth's UPnP support to be more than a
simple directory browser.  This could result in an interface that is not
quite a full frontend, but would have a very similar look-and-feel.

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the UPnP implementation to know if
this is fairly easy to do or really complex.  Although I suspect if it was
easy to do, it would already be done!
