FAQ
What does it offer over the standard web remote which works via the telnet interface?
Mythetomer offers support for controlling also mplayer and xine. For instance, if you use them to watch videos or dvds, you can't control them via stardard MythTV telnet interface.
Running system commands (any command specified) is supported too. For example, you can restart your MythTV frontend or shutdown your computer with the client.
I have the server setup and running. However, I am getting the following error: "Could not obtain display". What's wrong?
Mythetomer server won't work correctly if you try to start it over ssh connection. If you ssh to mythfrontend machine, the display variable is not set to the correct display and therefore mythetomer can't obtain the display. You have to use vnc, for example, or start mythetomer automatically at login. Of course you can also start it locally from the machine you want to run it. This is required to be able to control mplayer and/or xine.
Is there any provision for different frontends?
The feature is supported in forms of connection profile. For every frontend, you need to first create a connection profile within client in which you specify connection type (bt/ip) and server address. After successful creation, you can easily switch the connection/frontend by selecting it from menu.
