Oh, I agree. There is certain amount of gain in going from frontend to
db. The question remains, is that gain worth the increased complexity
in having multiple frontend platforms having to rewrite code to perform
the same task (perhaps badly) as well as the configuration necessary to
support it. How many times have we seen users hit by trying to
understand configuring MySQL for access by remote frontends? To me it
is the same arguments people use when evaluating proxy servers for web
access. And yet, it is quite comman and accepted to use them because
the gains outweigh any penalty incurred by the extra step.
Speaking of this I was thinking about how zero-config was implemented in mfd and wondering if there would be value to adding this to myth before mfd is ready (of course I have no idea how close/far it is to being at a state which could replace mythmusic, I say it could today). Putting zero-config in there could be used to eliminate the step of setting the remote database from the frontend completely.
