The Plan
Pre-define (optional) mythtv backends that sMythbot will connect to. It should then be possible to (also optionally) disable directly setting the MythTv backend addresses and ports.
What Mythbackend Preset commands should be available?
- The ability to define a new preset (address, port, preset title)
- The ability to edit existing presets
- The ability to delete current presets
- The ability to list all existing presets
- The ability to use a preset in a given room
What should a preset consist of?
- A preset title (for example, " bedroom mythtv back-end ")
- A MythTv backend URL
- A MythTv Port
- An optional comment
The rationale
Remembering IP addresses and Port names can be difficult even for technical users. Programmatically defining a series of presets allows for a system administrator to remove all of these headaches (and potentially gain some security advantages) by abstracting away IP address and Port information behind a convenient and easy to use naming system.
