Comment (by bertaboy@…):

 >What makes you think that using an IP address would prevent a storage
 group to be visible?

 Scientific method helped me with this one.  The backend is expecting the
 frontends to call it by its name as opposed to its address.  I've had
 problems earlier where configuring the frontend to connect via IP address
 fails when MBE is configured to listen for its hostname.

 For the particular issue raised in the bug report, my 0.27.3 frontends
 prompt cover art selection with the address: myth://Coverart@192.168.0.2,
 however the window fails to list either of my two cover art storage
 directories.  When I type the URL as myth://Coverart@microserver and tab
 to the next object within the window, both of my storage directories
 reappear and I'm able to browse -> select the appropriate artwork.  The
 new file name appears in the metadata page upon selection, but if the
 frontend doesn't remember that it needs to continue issuing URL's based on
 hostname and not convert the hostname to an IP address.  I will post the
 debug log later this evening.
