Actually mythbox (as a frontend) looks good, if they can get it to
work with storage groups/streaming.

Currently it needs locally mounted directories, which is just too much
effort after storage groups got rid of that for myth.

I wish the myth developers would release a decent storage group api so
i could say "randomplayer myth://url"

Even a fuse mount would probably do it.
