from the article at 

http://www.linux-magazine.com/issue/63/Mpeg_Menu_System_V2.pdf

"As Yammi can be controlled using just the keyboard, and as it has no
trouble using external media, Yammi is a good choice as a jukebox
replacement for parties."

keyboard control=lirc control - sweet.

However its a bit kde'ish for me. Too many libraries. 

I am still working on integration of slimserver and slimp3slave

Does anyone know how to write a really basic plugin for mythtv? I
suppose I'd have to know how to write c++ - or are there some other
language bindings out there?
