I got this same error but I did not want to even gently touch my 0.27 
backend because it's working well with just about everything except 
Raspberry Pi frontend installs.
ie. neither RPi Mythtv or RPi Kodi can see it  while a X86 Kodi install 
and W7 media player work very well when used with this backend.

I then bought a new extra HD and did a fresh 16.4 mythbuntu install on 
it and ended up with an package that can only be seen by mythweb
and a UpnP streamer box.
This mess! seems to be rooted in a database password mismatch which 
blocks all of my efforts to fix it even to the point of having 
??something?? putting a new mangled password back into the .xml file 
after I change it to match that used in other spots.

I have a large pile of extra SD cards and lots of spare hardware so I 
can try just about anything new but I really hate killing stuff that is 
working.

Thanks,
   Bert
