[mythtv-users] Problems connecting to backend server from new frontend

[Matt Emmott]

Ahh, found it! I opened Myth in a terminal and it was trying to open videos
at 127.0.0.1 - That address was hardcoded on my backend server instead of
its external IP. Changed the IP and restarted the backend, and everything
looks good. Not sure why it worked on XBMC, but all is good now. Thanks!
