I have 1 backend, with mythbackend/mysql/xmltv on it,
accessed byt two frontends. They have access to the recorded shows,
from (I guess) frontend - backend protocol

The videos, as in mythvideo, are stored on yet another server.
both frontends (one linux and one osx) have access to those videos  
via samba.
They mount the drives differently, but have the same symlinks, in  
order to
make it work. The backend does not have to see the videos.

The backend, in a cronjob (/etc/cron.daily)

Now, consider me a myth newbie, but it was fairly simple to get going.
The hard part was making it work on a single machine. Splitting the
front/backend were easy
