[mythtv-users] myth no longer working

Okay, I figured out the problem. For whatever the reason, the ip 
address for mythtv.local was 127.0.0.1 and the master server was the 
IP assigned to the computer. I made them both the assigned address, 
and restarted the backend, and now it runs as master again and 
everything works fine.

>Here is the long story. Starting sometime Wednesday, the drive my
>mythtv backend (0.20.2) writes videos to filled up. This caused
>mythtv to freak out and fill up my system drive with massive syslog
>and messages log files that I had to prune in order to get the system
>running again (it would be nice if myth was less repetitive with its
>error messages in this case).

>When I cleaned up some space on the video drive and got everything
>running again I had to rerun myth-setup as mythbackend got confused
>about what configuration to load (I don't remember the error message,
>but it was IP related), and I noticed that it had lost the pvr-350
>card I had configured. I reconfigured that, and everything looked
>fine in setup, but when I start mythtv I got the following issues:

>   1) I get strange connection errors at start
>   2) it no longer lists anything in upcoming recordings despite

>to be in place
>   3) I can't watch live tv (blips on and off and the strange error
>connection is repeated in logs) though /dev/video0 is working just
>fine
>   4) (this may just be my own failed recollection) I don't remember
