I do something very similar with mythlink.pl and using Jellyfin for all my
video playing (not just MythTV).  I moved from MythFrontend some time ago
due to limited client options.  I just wish there was a MythTV plugin for
Jellyfin as I do miss the commercial skipping.  I am also fine with leaving
the recording management to the web app.
