>Log:

>This commit adds the ability to control mythfrontend via a socket interface.
>Commands are sent and replies are received in text mode, there is no fancy
>xml interface or anything, it is meant to be able to be used via something as
>simple as telnet.

>This feature is disabled by default, you need to turn it on via the mythfrontend
>setup screen under the Default settings page and then restart mythfrontend.  The
>default port is 6545, so after restarting mythfrontend, you can test by
>telnetting to localhost on port 6545 ("telnet localhost 6545").  For a list of
>supported commands, type "help".  For help on a specific command, type
>"help COMMAND" (where COMMAND is the name of the command like "help jump").

>Notes:

>The integer 1x, etc. play speeds come from the FFRewSpeed settings in the
>database, otherwise they use the defaults of (3, 5, 10, 20, 30, 60, 120,
>180) defined in tv_play.cpp.

>The pre-defined fraction speeds (1/2, 1/4, etc.) are listed in the
>"help play" help text.

Couldn't make that port 6546 could you?. Port 6545 is also the default used 
by Myth to talk to the mythlcdserver.

Thanks, Paul H.
