"A more standard communication protocol between the frontend/backend/etc.
Currently uses a custom protocol, and it would be nice to replace with
something that's more of a standard. Note: this really needs to be fairly
efficient, since this is a common task. Parsing XML queries/responses
several hundred times a second really isn't a good thing to be spending CPU
time on. dbus a possibility?"

And how much is done, how to get involved here also?

Hello,
upnp support is already in there
http://cvs.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythtv/libs/libmythupnp
but i don't know how much of upnp is supported.

As Bill said you can control the frontend via a telnet interface.

bye Peter
