Tried that. Didn't work. Also tried ensuring I can log in as the mythtv user via 127.0.0.1 (as well as 192.168.1.234), and changing the DB Host in mythtv-setup to 127.0.0.1. No luck there, either. mythfrontend, mythfilldatabase, mythtv-setup all fail to talk to the DB. The backend is fine. (I remembered an old bug where anything other than 127.0.0.1 would fail, and I thought that might have resurfaced.)

I found /usr/share/mythtv/config.xml and, on the chance mythtv-setup might have been trying to use that, amended the IP here from 127.0.0.1 to 192168.1.234. No dice.

Mind you, I've just used VLC to watch a recording made by the local backend (FE, BE, and DB are all local), as it was recording... All OK.

The debug just isn't giving me enough. How can I find out exactly how those failing parts are trying to talk to the DB? Guess I've got to look at the source...

Thanks,

Ian

Full terminal output from mythtv-setup (no additional logging certainly not -v all) from startup with mythbackend manually stopped AND the wakeonlan section disabled should suffice. Just retype the backend IP address or something similar and save exit. First 5min of mythbackend (general logging not -v all please) would probably also assist.
