Indeed. On my system Mythweb runs on a headless master backend, where there is no requirement for 
any plugins and it makes no sense to install any. In fact, pulling the backend out of its rack and 
connecting a keyboard and monitor just to install mythmusic would be a major operation. Running the 
frontend remotely would be almost as difficult.

I do not use mythmusic or any plugins at all so this requirement does seem unusual.
