machines to run a backend.
Of course. I even run multiple backends here, with "pc" as a slave, so I
understand the use-case succinctly. But I think this is orthogonal to the
actual problem...
> The way to setup "pc" as a slave backend to "pvr" is to run mythtv-setup
on it, and configure all the database stuff to that mythbackend can
properly run on "pc".
Indeed. That is in fact exactly what I did/do. But that's not really the
bug/issue I am pointing out here.
> Brian, this isn't really a defect and should be closed, but I will
humour you and perhaps add a warning popup when mythtv-setup is run on
"pc".
In fact running mythtv-setup on "pc", the slave backend is not a problem
in my case, since it's also the machine being named as LocalHostName in my
.mythtv/mysql.txt file. It's going to other machines and running mythtv-
setup that's a problem.
Just to confirm that I understand your explanation, you say that I first
log in to the master backend, "pvr" and run mythtv-setup, yes? Once done
there, I then log into the slave backend, "pc" and run mythtv-setup there,
yes? IOW, run mythtv-setup on the backend machine you want to configure,
yes?
If that's the case, then that's exactly the use case for the bug I am
pointing out here.
It seems to me that the right thing to do here is for mythtv-setup to
ignore the LocalHostName value and always configure for the host that it's
being run on.
