Video playback support varies from device to device, but none support the full capabilities of a MythTV client, such as automatic commercial skipping, bookmarks, and flexible FF/REW playback controls.
These devices simply support playback of videos stored in the MythTV backend, and potentially accessing music and photos. However, since they are not full MythTV clients, they do not have the full MythTV feature set. They are usually smaller, quieter, and use less power than a full MythTV frontend.
UPnP clients have some advantages over MythTV frontends, in that they are designed solely for multimedia playback, and are more suited for a home entertainment environment than many general purpose PCs. This allows for a MythTV backend server to share its videos with UPnP clients. MythTV 0.20 added support for UPnP AV, an open standard method for sharing multimedia content.
