On kubuntu 14.04 and mythtv 0.28 fixes, I've got Zoneminder working 
without issue,  but cannot get mythzoneminder to work.

In ZM i use the url of 127.0.0.1:63457/rm

In MythZM setup I have the ip as 127.0.0.1 and the port as 63457, but 
when I try run zoneminder on the frontend, it hangs and my frontend.log 
shows

CoreContext mythsocket.cpp:358 (SendReceiveStringList) 
MythSocket(99c7060:-1): No response.

If i leave the mythzm settings as default and then try and run it i get 
a pop up in frontend stating is the sever running, is the ip address and 
port set correctly. My frontend log then reads

Aug  5 02:20:15 jos-desktop mythfrontend.real: mythfrontend[14956]: I 
CoreContext zmclient.cpp:89 (connectToHost) Connecting to zm server: 
127.0.0.1:6548 (try 1 of 2)

MythSocketThread(-1) mythsocket.cpp:729 (ConnectToHostReal) 
MythSocket(242b6d0:-1): Failed to connect to (127.0.0.1:6548) Connection 
refused

Is it simply a case of mythtv not being able to connect because of the 
/rm tag needed, or am I missing something, hopefully something simple.

Thanks.
