</div></div>It adds code complexity and requires another connection to the backend<br>
(to the database) and makes zeroconf no longer work (as minimally<br>
you'll need to enter a PIN, if not the hostname/user/pass of the<br>
database). It's doable, it just takes away some of the fun zeroconf<br>
(which is a great feature to just hit a button to find the backend).<br>
<br>
Personally, if possible I'd rather just carry a downstream patch of<br>
the "list titles" functionality in our distribution packages, although<br>
I haven't discussed that with other Mythbuntu devs nor do I know if<br>
the android app would take advantage of that functionality.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
