I thought that this combination might offer me something via DLNA that 
the MythTV upnp server doesn't, but so far I have only seen it working 
on the FE/BE machine, where it plays MythTV recordings.  Maybe it would 
play videos too, but I suspect without the metadata extras.

Although it's getting stuff from the Myth DB, (at the expected network 
address) I haven't yet seen any sign of a new upnp server on my TV, 
which the plex logs correctly identify.  The DLNA server port is 32469 
and PMS (Plex Media Server) is http://127.0.0.1:32400.  Does that need 
changing too?  I haven't seen a tool for that.

A quick test with mythbackend --noupnp seemed to stop playback on the 
Plex screen, but I need to check that again.  Are the two servers likely 
to conflict?
