This one is extremely subtle, and all my sleuthing skills have not
helped me so far <img src="cid:part1.02010605.09090506@gmail.com"
alt="" title="Sad" class="inlineimg" border="0"><br>
<br>
Running 0.25 on a fresh LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition) server.
Local Backend/frontend work fine, and remote frontend also now works
fine. Noticed that install has set up automatic start for
mysql/mythtv-backend (verified by 'chkconfig') and scripts in
'/etc/init.d'.<br>
<br>
However, upon rebooting, noticed that the remote frontend was no
longer able to connect to the backend, with non-helpful messages:<br>
<br>
<div class="bbcode_container">
<div class="bbcode_description">Code:</div>
<pre class="bbcode_code" style="height:36px;">I MythCoreContext: Connecting to backend server: 192.168.1.101:6543 (try 1 of 1)
E Connection to master server timed out.
Either the server is down or the master server settings
in mythtv-settings does not contain the proper IP address
</pre>
</div>
<br>
Oddly, a remote 'mysql' connect still works, right owner is running
the processes, correct ports are open (verified by 'nmap'), so what
is the problem?<br>
<br>
If I then <b>manually</b> restart mythbackend via the command line:<br>
<br>
<div class="bbcode_container">
<pre class="bbcode_code" style="height:36px;">sudo /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend restart</pre>
</div>
...then the remove frontend starts working again!<br>
<br>
I have done a lot of Googling, but the problems I see only have to
do with <b>failures</b> of an auto-started backend -- in my case,
the backend starts up (mostly) fine.<br>
<br>
Why would an auto-started backend not work with a remote frontend,
but a manually-started one does? If this some subtle timing issue?<br>
<br>
Help would be appreciated! <img
