[mythtv-users] MythTV needs to listen on 2 ports

[John Moore (Compucom Systems Inc)]

Thanks for the quick reply, as I understand it SQL is listening on port 3306.  But the frontend clients are talking to port 6544 an 6543.  The GUI has no option to manually set the IP that the machine is listening on.  Only a menu to choose 1 IP from (in my case of the following 192.168.2.7 or 192.168.3.7 or 127.0.0.1).  It does have the option to configure where the MASTER backend is.  But in this case, I am trying to only run 1 backend.

If I run a slave (w/no sql) backend on each network, an configure them with the master backend IP, when a client wants to watch media which requires transcoding, where is the work load at?  Where is the CPU an system resources needed?  The Master or the Slave?

I do not want to port forward.  That is not a option.  Security reasons.

I will say that other media servers such as PLEX an XBMC can listen on ALL NIC’s unless configured not too. I am abit taken back that MythTV can not.

Hi John,

you'll have to configure mysql to listen on an external network. Examples are here:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15663001/remote-connections-mysql-ubuntu

But binding to several IP addresses seems not to be that easy. I remember that on my mythtv backend the bind address 0.0.0.0 (accept all networks) did not work and that I had to specify an external IP. So if 0.0.0.0 won't work for you a solution maybe to forward traffic from one IP/port to to the other IP/port with iptables.

Hope that helps
  Jens
