 When did a fresh install of Mythbuntu and it created a config.xml file for
 me with a blank <LocalHostName> setting.  Because of this, MythTV.pm was
 sending an ANN Monitor message with a blank hostname which then causes a
 Malformed ANN Monitor message from the backend which then disconnects.
 MythTV.pm thinks this means the backend is not there and generates an
 error that is not helpful.

 I would suggest checking mysql_conf{hostname} to see if it is blank, and
 if so, set it to localhost or error out with a message to fix config.xml

 This was found when trying to run /usr/share/doc/mythtv-backend/contrib
 /user-jobs/mythlink.pl on MythtV 0.28 on Mythbuntu 16.04.
