[mythtv-users] remote display from frontend

[John McEntee]

"There's no TV, and no network traffic that leaves the physical machine."

But the network traffic is still being emulated, probably at 1 Gbit speeds.

I don't think that is possible, as far as I know. To be able to do
passthrough you have to stop the host using it completely, hence the host
would have no video out, unless it had 2 video cards.

Running mythfrontend on anything but the actual hardware is just an
exercise in futility.

If you are really intent on running mythfronend in VM your solution of "I
could install X in the VM and attempt to view the VM display "directly" via
VirtualBox " is going to give you the best result.
