<p>Interesting stuff.</p>
<p>I would think it is fairly trivial to hack the code to a) open a menu of front ends on startup<br>
b) open tv guide not live tv when selecting live tv<br>
c) instead of starting local playback (through program guide, mythmusic or mythvideo) connect to remote frontend using telnet and starting playback<br>
And then a little less trivial d) create an on screen remote control for remaining functions</p>
<p>Even better would be to enable local and remote control paradigms...</p>
<p>This would take this interface way way beyond mythtomer which from what I remember was a simple remote control interface on a tablet which doesn't use a tablets strengths or able to show dynamic content on the tablet.</p>
<p>There of course would be other work, but this would be soooo cool.</p>
<p>Unfortunately that post is 2 years old and I am on a mobile device, is the project still active?</p>

<p>Please excuse brevity and mistakes, this email was composed on a mobile phone.</p>

<br>
I haven't actually used it myself, but I think this is what I was talking about:<br>
<br>

I looked into it at one point, but I think it required Qt and MySQL to<br>
be installed, plus a list of other stuff a kilometre (I'm Canadian ;-)<br>
) long. I had my doubts it would fit well in the device's limited root<br>
FS, and I still haven't been brave enough to try cloning the OS to an<br>
SD card.<br>
<br>
As far as I understand it was a port of the "true" interface...<br>
meaning it would function as a distinct frontend, presumably trying to<br>
display the video locally on the device. Around the time I got the<br>
device I thought it would be cool to have an interface that could be<br>
run on the device to select a recording (or whatever) and then have it<br>
play on the main TV frontend, similar to what someone (you?) outlined<br>
a little while back.<br>
