Introduction to MythWeb

MythWeb is the web browser interface to MythTV. MythWeb is one of the features that makes MythTV such a nice digital video recorder.

One downside of most set-top video recording devices is you have to manage them using a TV screen. Aside from newer HDTV televisions, more often then not you are using a very low resolution screen that can't really compare with interacting with a computer screen. MythWeb is a solution to this problem.

MythWeb allows you to perform a number of MythTV functions using any web browser than can connect to your MythTV backend.

MythWeb provides:

  • Browse TV listings
  • Search TV listing
  • Manage previously recorded content
  • View/Edit upcoming scheduled recordings
  • Resolve recording conflicts
  • View MythTV Backend Status
  • View/Modify some MythTV Backend settings

On my MythDora based system, I access MythWeb just by entering the address of my MythTV Backend into my web browser.

Across the top, here are the main sections:

Recording Schedules (Manual, Custom)
