That's pretty cool but I have two questions...

This will start mythfrontend for ALL users, not just a specific one right?

I have a "mythuser" login and use the session preferences to start the
frontend which always works for me so luckily I don't have this problem...
I wouldn't want mythfrontend to load if I login as another user...

Wouldn't you want to add mythbackend to the "After" command? I know there's
still issues with it not necessarily being ready to accept connections even
if systemd thinks it's up, but it could help.

Thanks,
Richard
