The master backend works. I can record shows and watch tv.
I am trying to setup the slave backend and are having problems getting
it working right. When I built the slave box and tried to run mythtvsetup
it
complained about not being able to connect to the database so I setup
mysql on the slave box. Then went into mythtvsetup and told it the ip
address
of my master backend. Then I setup the cards as /dev/video0 and
/dev/video1.
Just a quick note but it is worth making sure that you can connect to the
mysql database before starting
$ mysql -h xxx.yyy.zzz.2 -u mythtv -pinsert database password here
If you get the
mysql
Prompt then continue, if you can't then you've done something wrong, change
things
until you can!
I had a bit of grief getting this bit to work but once I did as soon as I
set up the
card on the slave it appeared in the 'status', I then removed it and put it
back in
the master but that's another matter!
You do *NOT* need and (I _think_) you should not have mysqld running on the
slave.
I go to the masterbackend and I run a mythtvsetup but I don't see the 2
cards
from the slave machine listed.
You won't, what you *can* do is do a mysqldump[1] and read it, the card
setup is
fairly near the top and easy to see how many cards (and where they are).
I can watch TV on the slave but it is coming off of the card from the
master
backend. I can watch recorded shows on the slave also.
When I go to backend status from the web frontend it tells me I only have 1
encoder.
So where did I go wrong?
I don't know but I _think_ you might have set up the slave as a 'secondary'
master then
told the *frontend* to connect to the 'primary' master IYSWIM.

[1] Obviously you can just do a SQL query but I don't want to be blaimed for
anyone loosing their
database...
Ok then, its simple enough, just don't blaim me if it goes pete tong...
mysql select cardid,hostname from capturecard;
++--+
| cardid | hostname |
++--+
| 1 | pvr |
| 2 | linux|
++--+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
This example shows a master with one card (cardid 1, in a machine named
pvr), and a slave with one card (cardid 2, in a machine named linux).
