[mythtv-users] Unable to connect to the master backend at 192.168.1.100:6543 (16.04 & 0.28)

[Fred Hamilton]

This question didn't get any traction on the Mythbuntu forum so I thought
I'd ask here...

I installed 16.04 beta 2 and MythTV Mythbuntu 0.28 (both updated to the
latest versions as of yesterday) and for the most part it's solid - can
record and watch shows, etc. But mythweb and mythtv-status are not working
100%. I'll describe my mythtv-status problem, since I suspect that if I can
fix that, my mythweb connection issue will be fixed as well.

When I run mythtv-status, I get this:

> $ mythtv-status

When I try --verbose, I see what appears to be the same issue I have with
mythweb:

> Failed to load Perl API

> IO::Socket::INET::MythTV: connect: Connection refused


Any ideas why/how mythtv-status seems to be able to connect to the database
for scheduled recordings but not for conflicts? Not sure where to look
next...
