You should not have 2 instances of any value in the settings table.
Use:
mysql> delete from settings where value = "BackendServerIP" limit 1;

And re-check. You should only have one instance.

Yup, done that and now got one instance showing, but as previously mentioned
i've fiddled with hostnames in myth setup changing from localhost to mythbox
to 127.0.0.1 and back to localhost and now im getting configuration screen
after reboot (select language), when i do esc it switches after a while to
frontend (still with no recordings).

Well THIS would explain a LOT. It should be 127.0.0.1 like in your mysql
table. So of course, myth is trying to talk to the wrong IP address.

Fix, restart the network (or reboot) and check again.


Tried that and no luck ... it still belives its 127.0.1.1
