Perfect. Actually, <String>mythtv2013</String> is all
you're looking for.

As Raymond pointed out in his follow-up to your post, you left out

part of the URL (/Myth.)

Also perfect. I'm guessing that you tested on your backend
initially and used
<br>
your hostname rather than IP. *buntu probably built an entry in
/etc/hosts like
<br>
"127.0.1.1 mythtv2013" and nmap used that address, which
mythbackend doesn't bind
<br>
to. This is not a problem.

<blockquote type="cite">*This seems to show that the port is open

The BE is never found. I bet this is some configuration issue or

<br>
Right, port 6544 is not missing. Your FE scan for BE not found is
probably the subject
<br>
for another thread, as I assumed this was in response to your
initial thread re:
<br>
"...Android cannot connect".
<br>
<br>
The 2nd heading here:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/MythTV-Clients/MythTV-Android-Frontend/wiki/MythTV-Configuration-Suggestions">https://github.com/MythTV-Clients/MythTV-Android-Frontend/wiki/MythTV-Configuration-Suggestions</a><br>
addresses scanning (Zeroconf) for your backend when using the
MythTV Android Frontend.
<br>
Or, you can just enter your BE's IP address manually.
<br>
<br>
For other MythTV Android apps, you'll need to find their help
site/forum.
