<br>What is the command line you are using to do this? Are you getting an error message when you say it doesn't work?<br></blockquote></div>
<div>There is no errors, mythtvosd say that it send the UDP/XML packet, but nothing happens on the frontend. And if I take my laptop, and use the same mythtvosd command, the message show up on the frontend.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As far as I can see, mythtvosd makes an broadcast to all frontends on the network, not just the one it is running from.</div>

<div>I have also tried to clear netfilter tables, just to be sure that it wasn't the firewall that played some silly tricks on me. But it still doesn't work from the backend..</div>

<div>I got it working, by adding a route to 255.255.255.255 to my local network. And after fiddling with a small php script, I now have a webpage where I can send messages to the tv :)</div>
