hello<br>
<br>
i have a computer which runs mysql, mythbackend and two instances of mythfrontend (for two TVs)<br>
<br>
i work in this configuration for around 5 years...<br>
<br>
now that i upgraded to karmic, i had a lot of problems.<br>
i fixed them one by one, and now i got to the issue of not being able to run two frontends on the same computer at the same time<br>
<br>
i run directly mythfrontend.real (as two instances of frontend were disabled in the wrapper script)<br>
i run the two instances from two different users, and different "LocalHostName" in the users's ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt<br>
<br>
it seams that the first instance i run works, the other doesn't.<br>
the log file i get on the second is:<br>

<br>
Start one frontend at a time; make sure they each run under a different user. </blockquote><div> <br>I run the first under user "myth1" and the second under user "myth2"<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
Go into Setup | General and on page 2 add "Custom Identifier" for each frontend.<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br>it's already there (probably was read from mysql.txt as i havn't put that there myself)<br><br><br>any other ideas ?<br><br>thanks,<br>erez.<br><br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
AFAIK mysql.txt isn't used anymore.<br>
