Thanks.  It was actually checked.

Just to make sure it works, I did that.  I got: (time stamps removed)


 I  MythCoreContext: Connecting to backend server: 127.0.0.1:6543 (try 1 of 1)
 E  Connection to master server timed out.
                      Either the server is down or the master server settings
                      in mythtv-settings does not contain the proper IP address

 E  Unable to connect to backend, verbose mask unchanged 

[1]+  Exit 137                mythbackend --setverbose eit


This is puzzling, as this mythtv-settings do contain 127.0.0.1 and the
listen to link-local checkbox is checked.  The server is down, of
course, as I'm trying to start it with the command that caused the
error.  "mythbackend &" (without the --setverbose eit option) works
just fine.

Mmm... Suggestions, anyone?
