<a href="http://www.jsw.gen.nz/mythtv/mythtv-fonts.tar.bz2">http://www.jsw.gen.nz/mythtv/mythtv-fonts.tar.bz2</a>

You can install them by running this:

sudo su
cd /usr/share/mythtv/fonts
wget -c <a href="http://www.jsw.gen.nz/mythtv/mythtv-fonts.tar.bz2">http://www.jsw.gen.nz/mythtv/mythtv-fonts.tar.bz2</a>
rm -v Droid*
tar xvf mythtv-fonts.tar.bz2

you copy the config.xml file from an RPi that is working with one of
the other backends and see if that works on the new RPi.  If it does,
that verifies that the new RPi is set up properly, and we can then go
back to testing with BE3.  If not, then it is something in the RPi
setup.

When you copied the BE3 /etc/mythtv/config.xml file to the RPi, I
presume you edited it to set the correct IP address (as it currently
has localhost).  Did you make any other changes?  Where is it

                  <p><br>

                  <p>Copy the original, trying the insert BE3’s

                    previously)…</p>
                  <p><br>
                  </p>
                  <p>?? Something get undone?? Noted the various
                    config.xml’s on the Backend were the same colour –
                    white. Link is a light blue, IIRC.</p>
                  <p><br>
                  </p>
                  <p>/etc/mythtv/config/xml has ‘localhost’</p>
                  <p>/home/barry/.mythtv/config.xml also has ‘localhost’
                    and extra lines re: UPnP</p>
                  <p><br>
                  </p>
                  <p>Both of these are white with a ‘ls’ command.</p>
                  <p><br>
                  </p>
                  <p>This one is light blue:
                    /home/mythtv/.mythtv.config.xml and appears to be
                    linking to the file at /etc/mythtv/config/xml</p>
                  <p><br>
                  </p>
                  <p>OK, if I change the Backend’s Frontend config from
                    localhost to 192.168.0.3 it has problems: can’t find
                    the server, etc. Chaned back to localhost – back to
                    the Backend’s Frontend working</p>
                  <p><br>
                  </p>
                  <p>Man an I getting confused!</p>
                  <p><br>
                  </p>
                  <p><br>
                  </p>
                  <p>OK, on the RPi:</p>
                  <p>Seems to display the “Watch Recordings” list
                    correctly, including a show recorded earlier this
                    morning. So guessing the RPi Frontend is
                    communicating with the other computer “Backend-3”
                    Also getting the programme information, for whatever
                    theme I’m using is at the bottom of the screen:
                    show’s title, station, when recorded, summary blurb,
                    file size, various status icons (commercials
                    flagged, stereo, Closed Captioning available, etc.).</p>
                  <p><br>
                  </p>
                  <p>Not getting a preview picture.</p>
                  <p><br>
                  </p>
                  <p>Select the show and (still because haven’t worked
                    on that yet) </p>
                  <p>Can’t start playback</p>
                  <p>TV player</p>
                  <p>Failed to open remote file myth:// </p>
                  <p>backend-3/<file number>.ts”</p>
                  <p><br>
                  </p>
                  <p>So I’d guess the RPi can get data from the database
                    but not the preview picture nor the video file on
                    the Backend itself.</p>
                  <p><br>
                  </p>
                  <p>OK - - copy in the ‘short form” config.xml from BE3
                    to the RPI and reboot.</p>
                  <p>Well poo: that should teach me to question an
                    expert! Now get the ‘preview picture’ and the actual
                    video file plays. Slow and jerky and no sound but
                    haven’t configured those yet. Also using (5 GHz)
                    WiFi which may or may not be a sufficient quick
                    transfer avenue compared to Ethernet. (Sort of doing
                    two experiments in one: where I’d like to use this
                    RPi eventually installing a wire not overly easy.)</p>
                  <p><br>
                  </p>
                  <p>Will post this so far, see about the audio and
                    video and the other replies.</p>
