Re: MythUtil - can't show a message on frontend
[In reply to]

I actually got it working in mythutil by specifying a single IP as the broadcast (strange):
mythutil --message --message_text "Hi There" --timeout 5 -v --bcastaddr 172.31.254.58
but I really want it to work using netcat so I don't have to compile mythutil on other systems which send the message. Any advice on how to make netcat work with this?
Oh...and the 5 second timeout has no effect...I still have to click OK each time onscreen. Hopefully there is a workaround for that too...

Subject: [mythtv-users] MythUtil - can't show a message on frontend
I am trying to show a message onscreen on my .25 frontend. I have tried using mythutil and netcat, but neither works. The syntax (and output) is below of both methods. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?
Thanks!
