Ahh, found it! I opened Myth in a terminal and it was trying to open videos at <a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a> - That address was hardcoded on my backend server instead of its external IP. Changed the IP and restarted the backend, and everything looks good. Not sure why it worked on XBMC, but all is good now. Thanks!
