[mythtv-users] New Frontend woes

Hi,

I've been running with a frontend and backend on the same box for a
while, and now I'm branching out to use a seperate front end.

I've clearly borked something in my setup because the backend and
frontend think they're using different files for livetv.

I can play recordings fine but when I enter live TV I am seeing the
following error from the front end:
2009-08-23 02:23:46.026
RingBuf(/media/Goods/TV_mythtv_recording/2002_20090823022334.mpg)
Error: Waited 16 seconds for data, aborting.
2009-08-23 02:23:46.027 NVP::OpenFile(): Error, couldn't read file:
/media/Goods/TV_mythtv_recording/2002_20090823022334.mpg

On the back end logs I am seeing this:

Note that the .mpg files are different.

I did a full install of myth tv both front and back on the new
frontend and in mythtv-setup set the IP address to that of the
existing backend.

Can anyone help me unpick this? Or failing that point me to a guide on
how to set up separate frontend from scratch?

Cheers,
Alex
