Hi,

If the SHA1s above are from your earlier installation and the most recent
(failing) one, then I'd say it isn't due to a commit.  Here's what was
changed: http://pastebin.com/8HzDqKVP .

I see mytharchivehelper, BluRay, ZoneMinder and Gallery.

Hopefully, there a typo in your 2nd paragraph, I think you mean that on the
*Remote*, the frontend doesn't work (not the Master.)

I'd start by looking at ~/.mythtv/config.xml. Does it exist, is it writable,
has a symbolic link to a system-wide config.xml been broken...
