Absolutely. Since I enabled my touchscreen in the kitchen, I was
missing MythRecipe. I stopped using after having a lot of problems to
make it work with latest SVN one year ago.

> For MythTV users, what kind of things would you want in a Recipe program?

1. Nice and clear view. It could be nice to be able to import recipes
with pictures. It would be great if it could be able to import recipes
from major sites or even better offer way to call a script/program
which would return recipes in XML format which could be imported in
DB. These scripts could work the same way as XMLTV grabbers.

2. It would be great to be able to play LiveTV (or even much better
play recordings) in the small part of the MythRecipe window like when
you click on the Guide while watching LiveTV. LiveTV is shown in the
upper right part of the screen.
