You have to go in and change the MasterServerIP and BackendServerIP in
the settings table to your firewalls external IP address (as well as
forwarding the MySQL port).<br>
<br>
I started a thread a while ago discussing the bandwidth requirements to
do this. I was able to watch live TV, but only passably: the stream was
around 200kbps and suffered from severe latency. Every few seconds, the
show would freeze for a half second and then start again. The
conclusion was that MythTV doesn't buffer the media stream.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have a rough description of the protocol that MythTV uses?
Or is it a matter of digging through the source code? I imagine <i>someone's</i>
already gone through the trouble of at least generating a pile of notes
on how the protocol works or which source files to look at.<br>

"Watch Recordings" shows nothing available.
Is this because the laptop is being nat'd?

Probably yes.
It will definitely not work with multiple backends.
Some parts of the protocol contains ip addresses to the backend, I think
they will most likely point to your internal ip and not the one you
forwarded on your firewall.
