Frontend control socket

MythTV can be controlled remotely from any IP based device, including an Android smartphone. Using a software (app) on the Android smartphone such as Mythmote turns your smartphone into a remote control for MythTV.

Frontend Setup

From within the MythTV front-end navigate the following: Utilities / Setup -> Setup -> General

The General Setup is a wizard with several screens to click though. Just keep clicking the next button in the bottom right until you come to the "Remote Control" screen, which should be screen eight.

Check the box labeled "Enable Network Remote Control Interface." Leave the default port set to "6546". Now click the next button in the bottom right and on the final screen click the finish button in the bottom right.
