[mythtvnz] Remote frontend and music

[Toby Mills]

yes, just mount an nfs share and make sure your frontened points to it 
for the music directory.
works well, but you are right its a bit of a pain.

i mount a samba share off a windoze box which has music and photos on it 
so while it is a pain, it is also quite flexible.

Cheers
Toby
