I tried that, thanks. And yes, the mysql.txt file has the correct IP 
address.
On the backend machine, (in the frontend menu) I see the recordings and 
live TV from the other MD front machine.
I set some shows to be recorded on the Ubuntu frontend machine and they 
show on the Ubuntu machine, and play just fine, but they do not show in 
the recordings menu on the backend machine. I'm sure they're on the 
drive somewhere on the backend machine but I'd like them to show in the 
recordings menu as well.
Thanks!
