Is there ever a reason not to input a backend server's IP address, instead of "localhost" or "<a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a>" or anything else? I guess if your backend is connected via DHCP or something it would make sense (assuming a dynamic IP on a server makes sense somehow). I only have one backend server, and I made sure to input the address anyway, becuase I couldn't think of anything I would lose. Am I wrong?<br>

have 2 configuration IP's...one for the local backend and one for the<br>master backend. When you are configuring the master backend, you can't<br>just tell it to use <a href="http://127.0.0.1" target="_blank">127.0.0.1</a> or localhost for the local backend. You<br>
have to explicitly tell it its own IP address. If you don't do this,<br>then you get problems with things not showing up in the frontend like<br>they should. I suspect what happens is something like:<br>1) The slave connects to the master correctly<br>
2) The master gives it a url to connect to to retrieve stuff<br>3) The slave connect to the url to retrieve the data. However, because<br>the master was configured wrong, the url was wrong and the slave ends<br>up connecting to itself to retrieve the data (which, of course,<br>
doesn't exist).<br><font color="#888888"><br>--<br>Ron<br>_______________________________________________<br>mythtv-users mailing list<br><a href="mailto:mythtv-users@mythtv.org">mythtv-users@mythtv.org</a><br><a href="http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users" target="_blank">http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users</a><br>
