firefox 'http://mythweb.host:port/mythtv/tv/recorded'

adjust as required for your configuration.

That's the best I can do.  You need to have mythbackend do all the 
preview gen.  By accessing the Recorded Programs page in MythWeb, 
MythWeb will request preview images (at least for those it doesn't have 
in its local cache--see below) from the backend and--if the backend 
doesn't have the "standard" preview it uses for mythfrontend, it will 
create that and create the MythWeb-requested preview.

You may need to do:

rm /path/to/mythweb/data/cache/*.png

first, though.

Note that this will take a while.  Just let the browser window sit and 
spin for a while.
