Well yes, that goes even further than what I was suggesting because if
you know which frontend you are controlling a lot of these features
aren't necessary. But add a way to ask for status and a way to ask the
backend for the list of connected frontends et voila.<br>
<br>
Maybe a system like KDE's DCOP would work even better. That way very
complex interactions could be made possible. Hmmmm.... my fingers are
itching to fire up an editor :-)<br>

YES. I've wanted the ability to control mythmusic from mythweb for a
long time... But you'd need a way to also check the status of a
frontend, and list which frontends are connected, and what their
capabilities are (ie. don't show "music->play" for a frontend that
doesn't have mythmusic installed).. Not to mention a current-status
kind of thing, especially for music, so that the current playlist could
be transferred to mythweb and edited, browsed, etc.
