[mythtv-users] interface an Anrdoid STB with MythTV system?

[Daniel Frey]

There is a Google+ Community setup for the app. Be sure to join and accept
the beta program from the links on the page.

You don't need to do anything to MySQL as it just uses the mythtv services
api, which is just a REST api exposed by the backend.  Make sure, however,
you have it connected to port 6544 (or if you changed that default port,
set it whatever that may be).

I will post a link to the community page with the beta program when I am
back at my laptop.
