Some of my machines at home are windows, so having remote X isnt always an option. Sometimes I access remotely over a 70KB/s upload internet line, so webgui would definitely be preferable.<br><br>Back to the question in hand... the 2 things I would really love to see in mythtv is 1) mythtv-setup handled via web interface (or even SSH... just something away from remote X/VNC usage), 2) better streaming media integration. I don't know if this is a technical thing with how iplayer/youtube etc handle things, but I find a harmony remote not really useable; difficult player controls, not full screen etc.<br>This second one isn't major - tend to use laptop or tablet for streaming video. definitely falls in the 'nice to have' category rather than essential for my usage though.<br><br>tbh, I thought a webgui/ssh text-based mythtv-setup was penciled in for 0.27 release (I think I heard that around early 0.25 final release), but that does not seem to of be the case.<br></div></body></html>
