Hi;

Thanks, bad news is it looks fine to me.

    Listening on TCP 10.0.1.12:6544
    MediaServer:: No BackendServerIP Address defined... *IS NOT* in the log

So, now to be clear, when you tested with:

     http://10.0.1.12:6544/Myth/GetHostName

Were you using a browser on your backend as opposed to from
your Android or some other host's browser? Please rerun the
test using the backend's IP on the backend if you didn't
before.

The following nmap command/result is from my backend:

    $ nmap -p 6544 --reason 192.168.1.223

    Starting Nmap 5.21 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2013-05-14 16:30 CDT
    Nmap scan report for mc1.local (192.168.1.223)
    Host is up (0.000034s latency).
    PORT     STATE SERVICE REASON
    6544/tcp open  mythtv  syn_ack

    Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.03 seconds

Note that if I test from by backend with using my hostname (mc1)
the port is shown as closed and:  127.0.1.1: mc1.local  is used.
If I test using 127.0.0.1, then the port shows open.
