[mythtv-users] firetvstick 4k - MythTV frontend now working for me

[John Pilkington]

The puzzlement may not be over yet, but it's looking good.

Mostly my problems have been firewall and DB access, and would have 
happened with any remote frontend; I hadn't felt the need for one before.

I believe that I now have the firewall set to enable all the IP4 ports 
listed during backend startup, and mariadb privileges were granted 
approximately as shown here:

https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/configuring-mariadb-for-remote-client-access/

At present I haven't been able to add the 'First entry' and 'Second 
entry' items listed in the mythtv android wiki, and the speaker tests in 
the 'Audio' setup don't work, telling me not to disable OSS.  The audio 
test in the 'General' section is fine.

The HD-playback test in Setup, and the DVB-T2 HD recordings I have 
tried, are not good.  That could be because of the missing settings 
above,  (which specify inter alia the number of active cores) or because 
I'm using wifi; but that's apparently now at 5 GHz over a distance of 
less than 2 m.

This is all using Peter's build of 
mythfrontend-20181124-arm-v30-Pre-983-gca71c59e61a   Great work!

The backend is v30-Pre-984, Fedora 28.
