the database is a client/server application just like mythtv. the database
server runs on the mythtv backend server. the remote frontend needs a
mythtv client and a database client. there was no need to install mariadb
on the remote frontend (and i would remove it!) all you need is the db
client which is what the mysql command is. the mysql command can connect to
mariadb or mysqld so don't be fooled by the name. i assume you installed
mythtv frontend using an rpm so it should have brought in all the
dependencies including the mysql/mariadb client. i think you database is
not accessible over the network and until you fix that it is pointless to
troubleshoot the frontend. i repeat does this command work or not?

 mysql mythconverg -u mythtv -h 192.168.1.55 -p -e "select count(*) from
settings;"

Obviously replace that ip with the ip of your master backend and run this
on the remote frontend.
