I did some poking around.

MythFE isn't one of the Services API services (at least it doesn't exist in that code.)

New to me too, never used it. At least in my opinion, it shouldn't appear in the Services
API Wikis.

Comment have name(s): MythFE XML Extension and/or Protocol. Also, HTTP API.

Available are: GetScreenShot, GetRemote, GetServiceDesc and GetActionTest.

If GetServiceDesc is use, then the only thing returned is GetScreenShot and its
parameters.
