I wanted to see if I could replicate this problem, so I installed the 
Cidero package and executed

./MediaController.sh

it found the myth box and I clicked on the myth box icon. It then showed 
"recordings" "Music" and "Videos". Sounds like you did not get that far.

I wonder if you are missing the "renderer" which is the "play client" to 
control? Have you set up the MythTV backend with a real ip or is it 
running at 127.0.0.1? that has caused a problem with me in the past.

Here is a snipet from my log running MediaController.sh (appeared in my 
console window when I ran the script)
