I dunno, maybe -d?
I thought I saw the option a couple of months ago when I ran mythfrontend --help, but:
[root]# mythfrontend --help
2009-11-24 14:36:41.700 mythfrontend version: trunk [22291] www.mythtv.org
Valid options are:
-l or --logfile filename Writes STDERR and STDOUT messages to filename
-r or --reset Resets frontend appearance settings and language
-display X-server Create GUI on X-server, not localhost
-geometry or --geometry WxH Override window size settings
-geometry WxH+X+Y Override window size and position
-w or --windowed Run in windowed mode
-nw or --no-windowed Run in non-windowed mode
-O or --override-setting KEY=VALUE
Force the setting named 'KEY' to value 'VALUE'
This option may be repeated multiple times
--override-settings-file <file>
File containing KEY=VALUE pairs for settings
Use a comma seperated list to return multiple values
-G or --get-setting KEY[,KEY2,etc]
Returns the current database setting for 'KEY'
--version Version information
-v or --verbose debug-level Use '-v help' for level info
-p or --prompt Always prompt for Mythbackend selection.
-d or --disable-autodiscovery Never prompt for Mythbackend selection.
-u or --upgrade-schema Allow mythfrontend to upgrade the database schema
<plugin> Initialize and run this plugin
Environment Variables:
$MYTHTVDIR Set the installation prefix
$MYTHCONFDIR Set the config dir (instead of ~/.mythtv)
