Hehe, I was assuming that mythweb would allow sending control commands
to a frontend/backend if they were on the same machine.  My bad :P... I
had forgotten about the client/server model due to my own single machine
setup.

I apologize for being off topic, however, that gives me a good idea for
another form of interface to mythfrontend. With MyMote, there are some
problems due to how the iPhone chooses to shut down it's wifi interface
after a certain amount of time, and when auto-sleep is triggered.  It
seems to enjoy both long battery life, and device disconnection
tolerance, a web interface would have several advantages.  State can be
saved on the frontend's web server with cookies, and the server does not
care whether or not the remote has internet connection.  Authentication
and security are handled by the iPhone's web browser, interface updates
can be requested as needed through javascript.  Then, the only problem
arises from avoiding browser crashes.

Thoughts?
