Did that, file is named 10.13.14.15, only contents are the hostname of "mvp-
spareroom" without quotes.

I adjusted the second line above to:
hostname `cat /mvpmc-media/settings/$HNAME`

I'd assumed that should show the hostname at the shell level

I'll try that next and report back.

Interestingly, settings saving is working, however the file I am saving too
is not being updated after I make changes and save again

Interestingly enough, with all the mvpmc options on one line it boots up
normally even using the -F option, I also removed the 2 *'s on either side of
the -F stuff, what's the significant of the *'s?

Looks like you hit it on the money there.

It works, it just works better on 1 line ;-) And as a bonus now the music
client always shows up in the menu without me having to redo the mclient ip
address everytime I do a reboot on the mvp.
One thing that is puzzling me is that the config file that is saved never
changes..... when viewed from linux it just has the ip address of the mythtv
backend as such
# cat 10.12.13.145.config

while viewed from windows via samba share, I see the following (check out

Also some of the settings are not restored when I reboot the mvp after
saving.
