mythweb still functions, but is not being developed at all.
patches are welcome to keep it functioning until there is a replacement

the "webfrontend". this is the original attempt at being able
to manage the backend via the embedded web server (thanks Stuart M)
due to it's use of QtScriptEngine (which is deprecated) and the
hard ties into the UPnP stack (which creates the web server - don't ask)
this is also no longer maintained or developed.

THE FUTURE!!!!!!

We are working on an angular based web app which utilizes the services
API to do all the work.

There is a *LOT* todo, including expanding the API to be able to do
everything we need.

If you are at all versed in Angular, or just interested in helping out
please do get in touch.

The current WIP version of this can be found at
http://<your_backend>:<backend_port + 200>
all active development is on master, the version on fixes/32 is a
skeleton.

Questions?
