WebFrontend

The WebFrontend is a browser based frontend for MythTV. It will replace mythweb but is not full replacement for mythweb in MythTV 0.28 therefore mythweb will still be supported/avaliable.

WebFrontend is served by an internal HTTP server in the mythbackend application and requires no additional dependencies or configuration, working out of the box.
