 In quest of serious pain and suffering (really all about USB 3 and recent kernels fixing the problem, also tried android myth and stumbled over the encoding) I threw away my existing mythtv setup, used the distro (arch linux) compiled mythtv and installed myth keeping my current DB.
[a unix guru is someone who has has a bad experience with rm; I’m having a bad experience with uefi]

None of my front ends connect all claiming no backend even saying “backend is running” “no backend” at the same time.

Browsing 192.168.5.33:6544 shows the schedule etc. Recordings are placed in the store, I can retrieve and watch in vlc. I can access the backend database ie mysql -umythtv -pmythtv -hbackend mythconverg shows the tables.

But frontend says:

015-06-17 19:36:09.143575 E  MythSocket(107826ec0:-1): Failed to connect to (192.168.5.33:0) Unknown error

What on earth can the problem be? [this frontend has been working for years and worked up to my fiddle]
Thanks
James
