All,<br>
<br>
I just learned about the backend web server at port 6544! It's pretty<br>
fantastic; this (and HLS in particular) might finally convince me that<br>
I don't need a Slingbox alongside my Myth setup.<br>
<br>
One problem, though, is security. I'm concerned that, if I forward<br>
port 6544 at my home IP address to port 6544 of my primary backend,<br>
then anyone can access my recordings. I would have the same worry<br>
about the mythweb frontend web access, except Mythbuntu supports<br>
adding HTTP Digest password protection for it. Is there any way I can<br>
do the same for the backend 6544 server? I am very much a beginner<br>
with Apache, and could perhaps figure out the right stanza to add to a<br>
.htaccess file (though help would be appreciated), but I don't even<br>
know where to find or put said access file...<br>
<br>
Note that I'm pretty sure this is a totally different thing than the<br>
admin:mythtv password combination that I needed to install JW Player.<br>
<br>
I'm running 0.25 via Mythbuntu 12.04, on a combined FE/BE.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
