[mythtv-users] No listings on remote MythFrontend

[Jeff Artz]

Tim,

  Thanks for the reply.

  I have tried a number of things, searched extensively, and have come up 
empty.  I can't find anything wrong with the configuration, nor a 
solution... (Both machines are synched with NTP, so it's not a time setting 
issue).  So I think I'm just going to 'scrub' the frontend box and install 
FC2 and MythTV from scratch.  The KnoppMyth setup was pretty quick & dirty, 
but there's so many differences between Knopp and FC2, and not being Linux 
literate doesn't help matters much.  It's bad enough trying to learn about 
one 'flavor' of Linux, let alone two at once....   So I'm just going to 
setup my frontend on FC2 also.  (Not to mention that KnoppMyth installed the 
entire MythTV suite on installation -- including MySQL and the Backend, 
which I don't need/want on the Frontend box.)

  Anyways, thanks again for the reply, and hopefully starting from scratch 
again will remedy my issue...

Jeff

I can confirm that your mail did go to the list, but probably nobody
has any idea
what might be going wrong here.  Or those who might know, missed your 
message.
This is a pretty high-bandwidh list.

I am new to mythtv, but I'll take a shot in the dark and guess that browse 
mode
somehow pulls the guide data from the backend slightly differently.
Make sure that
clocks on both boxes are sync'd and correct with ntpd or ntpdate.
It's the only thing
I can think of.
