[mythtv-users] How to re-enable disconnected encoders on slave backend

[Marc MERLIN]

Howdy again.

So, after upgrading my myth server had having to re-IP my master server
(which I then hand-fixed in the DB), I have:

myth:~# mythtv-status    
(...)
Encoders:
myth (1) - Idle
myth (2) - Idle
myth (3) - Idle
gargamel.svh.merlins.org (4) - -1 (Disconnected)
gargamel.svh.merlins.org (5) - -1 (Disconnected)
myth (7) - Idle

the slave says:
gargamel:~# /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend start
Starting MythTV server: mythbackend .
gargamel:~# 2008-09-21 23:26:10.220 Using runtime prefix = /usr, libdir = /usr/lib

Yet:
gargamel.svh.merlins.org >mythtv-status 

MythTV status for localhost
===========================
Status...........: 9/21/2008, 11:33 PM
Next Recording In: Never

Encoders:
gargamel.svh.merlins.org (8) - Idle
gargamel.svh.merlins.org (9) - Idle

Any ideas why my slave backend sees its encoders, but the master backend doesn't?

Thanks,
Marc
