For me, the answer would be yes.<br>
<br>
I've always scheduled through mythweb, so much
easier to do then using a remote. It's my preferred
method, so I have very little experience with using
mythfrontend for scheduling.<br>

I, too, always program with MythWeb. When I first began
using MythTV a year and a few months ago, I wasn't aware
of MythWeb, and did programming through the front end.
MythWeb is far more convenient. I'm hoping the new web
server will be as convenient. I'm not inclined to upgrade
to version 0.28 until I've heard some experiences from
braver folk.<span class="HOEnZb"></span><br>

<div class="gmail_extra">Another here, too. I like Mythweb
because everything's on one page, no poking through multiple
menus to find what I need. By the way, the frontend has all
the same options as Mythweb (maybe more?), but they may not be
obvious to you. One key thing to look for is Filters (under
Schedule Options I think).<br>
<br>
One quirk that I observed with Mythweb--if you enable a filter
that doesn't match the selected program and then save it, it
will refresh with "Do not record this program" and it will
look like it failed, but there is actually a recording rule
created for it. For example, I mark our subscribed premium
channels as Commercial Free, and when I see a listing for a
movie that I want to record, I'll create a rule for it and
select the "Commercial Free" filter. However, if the program I
clicked on to create the rule is NOT on a Commercial Free
channel, then it will refresh the program and look like it
didn't save my changes (I've ended up with multiple duplicate
recording rules because I kept trying different things until I
realized what was going on). It's probably a small bug in
Mythweb where saving a rule should redirect to show the rule,
not the program.<br>

I only use Mythweb. I prefer Kodi as my FE. My ideal setup is a
rock-solid, headless Myth BE with a web ui. I don't mind if the
back-end does commercial skipping, meta-data or transcoding but I
really want it to be stable. Storage would be on a NAS. Front-ends
would be configured with Kodi and customized for the different
users.<br>
