Kodi uses the Services API (among other things) to access the backend.
I'd try this during a failure:

     curl --header "Accept: application/json" mc0:6544/Myth/GetHostName

and expect the following: {"String": "mc0"}, where mc0=your backend hostname
or IP.

ps -LFU mythtv should show about 30 light weight process (NLWP column) on
the backend. At least mine does with one frontend connected.
