Hi all,
I can't get a frontend to work on Mac OS X. Everything is working
fine on linux and the little mediamvp (love that box :), so I know
that Myth is setup and remotely accessible, but the OS X frontend
seems to always want to contact localhost, regardless of the settings
in the ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt file.
I'm currently using the build from http://anthonymittaz.com/
index.html and have tried both the CVS 0.18 and the 0.18.1 version.
I've also tried a bunch of other OS X builds (eg, ) but none of them
have worked for me.
Here's my config:
$~
[EMAIL PROTECTED] .mythtv/mysql.txt
DBHostName=192.168.10.10
DBUserName=mythtv
DBPassword=mythtv
DBName=mythconverg
DBType=QMYSQL3
MythFrontend.app starts but displays GANT instead of Blue theme and
when I try to watch tv I get "Master Backend not found" and a message
in the console about trying to speak to localhost ...
This is a cut from my console.log:

You probably should modify the Master Server settings
in the setup program and set the proper IP address.
-----------
It seems to me that it should be trying to connect to
192.168.10.10:6543, not localhost:6543. I tried tunneling that port
and got a protocol mis-match (which is a step forward, I think, at
least they spoke ;)
So does anyone know what the deal is here? Why is the frontend not
honoring the IP address of the server in ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt? Is
there a magic config setting that I'm meant to make, or is this a bug
in the frontend on OS X?
Thanks,
James
