[mythtv-users] Mythweb: "Play recording on frontend"

[Jan Ceuleers]

Hi there.

I noticed the "Play recording on frontend" link in Mythweb and gave it a
try. When I click on that link the frontend in question changes to its
Watch Recordings screen but does not actually play the recording.

So I googled and found the following thread in which this issue was also
raised:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/486121

I'm fairly certain that I don't have the address resolution problem that
this discussion starts out on (all machines have static IPs, even those
handed out by means of DHCP, and I have forward and reverse DNS set up).

I can remotely control the frontend from any machine on the network
(including the backend) using netcat and addressing the frontend by
means of its hostname. Mythweb's remote control functionality also works
with this frontend.

I waded through the whole thread, but I could not find anyone
specifically addressing the problem I re-raise above (i.e. frontend
changes to Watch Recordings but does not actually play the recording).
Any hints?
