[mythtv-users] TV and Projector - need two frontends on one machine...

[David]

Hi I've had a look in the archives but can't find anything to help.

Basically I'd like to effectively run two frontends on my machine - one 
outputting via the PVR350 into the TV, the other via the VGA into an LCD 
projector.
Ideally I'd like to have them available immediately (though not 
neccesarily concurrently - but if I can get dual headed X working with 
the PVR then why not?)
One big problem I see is that the frontend settings seem to use the 
hostname to identify them.
I was considering adding an 'alternate settings' capability to the 
frontend (ie add "-alt1", "-alt2" to the hostname before querying the db 
for the settings -also maybe cleaning it up - when I fully qualified my 
machines hostname I temporarily lost all my settings :( )

Before I dive in and start hacking: has anyone anyone else solved this? 
Does anyone have any similar problems? Any ideas?
