Is there some handy magical script or executable I can run to take 
command over the MythTV machine - i.e. allow commands like "play target 
video" or "play target song"? Obviously for integration with a little 
PHP script...

It was doing the desribed with KDE. Without a WM, the video would be on 
top but focus remain on mythfrontend. Behaviour with Xfce4 is correct.

Oh, and some full messages from my mythtranscode failures:

This one's a real pain for me, does anyone have any suggestions?
