In my view the concept us a complex user interface on the tv is going to go
away. I've spoken about this on a few occasions previously but there is now
evidence that this is happening...

If myth back end was the store of the media and the smart phone/tablet
application was the use interface and controller then the TV just needs to
be renderer of the video or audio... A.k.a. a chromecast...

Myth be is already a great server. Chromecast or Amazon fire TV or apple
can do the rendering (and worry about interfacing to all those other pesky
services like YouTube Netflix etc... we just need a great app? To stitch
the backend to the renderer via a great user interface on a tablet. No?

Please excuse brevity and pistakes as this email was composed on a mobile
phone.

Thanks and best regards,
Richard Morton
