WebFrontend, the backend webserver based feature. And, yes it
already has the ability to schedule recordings. It's available
in 0.28-pre and works will for me.

The ability to create Custom Recording Rules is missing (or at
least I haven't been able to find it.) It's not an exact match
to mythweb.

I have only seen discussions on this list that said WebFrontend
was not a replacement to mythweb.

However, recent activity on the commits list showed a slew of
Mythweb Trac ticket get closed with the text:

     "Given Mythweb is EOL, I'm closing new features.
     This should be done via the backend webserver now."

I've disabled my Apache server on my 'test' box just to prove
to myself that it's no longer required.
