MythControlled is an advanced remote control and interface for MythTVs (homebrew DVRs), allowing you to control many aspects of your MythTV with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You can also stream videos and recordings from your MythTV to watch them on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, while connected to the same WiFi network.

CONTROL UP TO FOUR MYTHTV FRONTENDS AND BACKENDS
The app can search for MythTVs on your network and connect to them automatically. For more advanced setups, you can manually connect to MythTVs as long as you know the frontend and backend local IPv4 addresses. This includes the ability to stream content remotely if you use port forwarding or VPN.

EASY TO USE
The remote control screen features large buttons that are easy to press without looking down. Some buttons, such as the directional arrows, feature repetition, such that you can hold them down and the action will be repeated until you let go.

REMOTE CONTROL
The remote control screen is cleverly laid out for maximum features without clutter.
--Volume and position sliders show the current volume and playback position in real time. Slide them around to adjust the volume or playback position instantly.
--Tap the left volume icon to mute and unmute.
--One-tap commercial skip and sleep timer.

Does it's job. Some bugs here and there but I expect it will get better. Also not a fan of the current icon :/


Did not implement enough remote functions

Didn't implement the exit/escape key? Really?


Best mythtv app for iOS
SweetPear2

Great app for using with mythtv. I mainly use it to watch streams from my mythtv backend. Transcoding the streams on the fly is great and doesn't require additional jobs on the backend, it just works. Would love to see a chronological sort of programs in addition to the alphabetical, but great job nonetheless.


Cool app

Watching MythTV recordings works great.
