I installed those packages in Ubuntu:
     sudo apt-get install lame
     sudo apt-get install x264

Ah, But I still had the Backend Host Address set to 127.0.0.1 - So in the 
logs you see the error:

Jun 29 12:19:03 mediabox mythbackend[12662]: I CoreContext 
serverpool.cpp:337 (listen) Listening on TCP 127.0.0.1:6544
Jun 29 12:19:03 mediabox mythbackend[12662]: I CoreContext 
serverpool.cpp:337 (listen) Listening on TCP [::1]:6544
Jun 29 12:19:03 mediabox mythbackend[12662]: N CoreContext 
mediaserver.cpp:169 (Init) MediaServer:: Loopback address specified - 
127.0.0.1. Disabling UPnP

Changing this in mythtv-setup to my backend's IP (192.168.1.20) fixed 
everything -

Jun 29 12:22:15 mediabox mythbackend[12774]: I CoreContext 
serverpool.cpp:337 (listen) Listening on TCP 127.0.0.1:6544
Jun 29 12:22:15 mediabox mythbackend[12774]: I CoreContext 
serverpool.cpp:337 (listen) Listening on TCP 192.168.1.20:6544
Jun 29 12:22:15 mediabox mythbackend[12774]: I CoreContext 
serverpool.cpp:337 (listen) Listening on TCP [::1]:6544

etc.

Seems pretty sweet now!
