I got a reply email from the dev saying this:
"Hi Richard
I'm not maintaining mythremote anymore. It's open source though. If
you
feel up to it you can use it. It was my first java code, so don't
expect
to much out of it.
http://svn.goodfunction.net/repos/mythremote
Greetings,
Richard
"
unfortunately i don't think i am capable of updating this, i don't
know anything about java. If anyone else is able to then i will be
happy to do some testing.
