[mythtv-users] Odd problem setting up Remote Frontend

[Amankhan]

Hello all,

After successfully running MythTV on Fedora for almost a year now (thanks to
Jarod's guide!), I recently decided to setup a second PC for running a
remote frontend in my bedroom.

Setup went fine & everything is working great on my new machine, but I have
encountered a very strange problem when setting up the communications
between the remote frontend & the backend machine.

When I change the Host IP address & Master Server IP address in mythtvsetup
(as per Jarod's guide on this page:  http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/tips.php ),
2 things happen:

1.  In the frontends on both my main machine & the remote machine, I can no
longer watch Live TV.  The message I receive is the same one for when all
capture cards are currently recording.  I have both a PVR150 and PVR250 in
my machine, and at the time of this message neither card is recording.  Both
cards work fine when used to capture video via a command line prompt.  In
essence, the cards are not doing anything even though Myth says they are.

2.  In those same machines, I can no longer schedule any recordings nor do I
show any recordings as being previously scheduled.  I can attempt to
schedule a program to record, but it doesn't appear to "save" my request.
The backend shows no errors from these attempts.

As soon as I change the Host IP & Master Server IP back to the loopback
address, everything is fine again.  I can watch Live TV, my scheduled
recordings have returned & I can queue shows to record.

It has completely baffled me, and I have no idea what the problem might be.
Any help would be appreciated, and if anyone needs more information just let
me know.  Thank you!


The backend shows no errors for any of this, and
