So I've seen a lot of talk in the past week about the myth protocol. Most of it seems to either be centered around encapsilating it within some other interface (ie, SOAP, java, etc), or in writing a new protocol to do what the current one does.
However, is there any interest out there in writing a new protocol that is able to give a remote frontend absolutely everything it needs to deal with myth? I've got my mvpmc project to the point where I can watch all my recordings, delete them, see the upcoming recording schedule, and watch live tv. But that's it, because a lot of the other interesting things, like commercial skip, are not available through the protocol. If there isn't any interest, I suspect someone involved with mvpmc will simply go off and write their own. I've seen a few initial attempts at this. However, I would much prefer to see this done within myth itself, since a new protocol would be beneficial to far more than the relatively small number of users of mvpmc. Besides, I know what my requirements in a protocol would be to make it work nicely with an embedded frontend. But I have no idea what the requirements would be for someone with a lot more computing power. So I really don't want to venture off on my own and create a private protocol that is useless to the greater myth community. Any thoughts? Any interest? Jon
