What version are you running... 0.25+ is required for the Services API.

No.

It still works in 0.28-pre, at least with IPv4.

Assuming your Master Backend has the 192.168.1.10 address configured,
and not 127.0.0.1:

Use:  192.168.1.10:6544/Status/GetStatusHTML  to directly access the
Services API, so mythweb is out of the picture. It returns the info you
want. I think that's what you meant in your next to last paragraph.

If that fails, 1st, I'd do:  mythbackend --setverbose upnp   to
get additional Services API logs and then try again noting the
backend log output.
