I figured it out. Its actually a backend configuration item in the database. The frontend is connecting to the database at first, but in the settings table it had 127.0.0.1 defined for BackendServerIP and MasterServerIP.
Strange that they got entered in there like that. I always use the host name in mythtv-setup and it certainly resolves to 192.168.1.5. I changed them appropriately and now it works: +-----------------+-------------+-----------+ | value | data | hostname | +-----------------+-------------+-----------+ | BackendServerIP | 192.168.1.5 | galvatron | | MasterServerIP | 192.168.1.5 | NULL | +-----------------+-------------+-----------+ Its also strange that the 0.26 frontend didn't use these settings, it seemed to rely on what was specified in config.xml. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1261609 Title: mythtv-frontend only looks for backend at 127.0.0.1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mythtv/+bug/1261609/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
