MythTV's requirement to use a GUI setup program on a "headless" server, always seemed like a massively stupid design decision.
Yes, it was a dumb decision. However, I suppose it's better than having to edit that by hand... they could've uses a cli or curses interface or something.
That said, it's been many years since I've run MythTV. I switched to SageTV because of the brilliantly small and silent set-top-boxes. But Google bought SageTV and pulled the plug on that, so a year or two back I switched to Plex (which you configure via a web UI). The Plex plugin for OSMC/Kodi has a clumsy UI, but works pretty well. However, the Plex app for Roku seems to be useless...
I've only ever run MythTV. Lately though I use Kodi with Kodi's Myth plugin on all TVs but my living room TV and computer.
Usually when I'm doing work to this I'm physically in front of it. Fluxbox seems nice, going to try windowmaker and it's terminal but gcc barfed compiling Objective-C support. Trying it again... one of my PCs compiled the objc USE-flag fine, and the other didn't.
