I've never used OpenSuse but in Fedora, it has mythbackend as a<br>
service. I believe mythbackend gets set to start automatically at<br>
startup, but its usually not running when you run mythtv-setup,<br>
especially since it sounds like its your first run of it. For me, I run<br>
"service mythbackend start" as root before running mythfrontend. Also,<br>
if this is the only box that is running Myth, the <a href="http://127.0.0.1" target="_blank">127.0.0.1</a> (localhost)<br>
should be fine as the server IP in mythtv-setup. If you are going to<br>
have other PCs on your network accessing it for any reason, make sure<br>
the backend IP is set correctly.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps!<br>
Harry<br>
