I didn't say that old methods don't work now. I just said I wanted to
make use of the new method, mainly because I like its integration.

I doubt FE only machine would make use of ServerHaltCommand.

got activated in the middle of movie play. That's why I got rid of that
and don't want to return to it now when MythTV does it internally.
