[mythtv-users] New Frontend woes

[Alex Fazzari]

I still can't get video streaming from the backend to a seperate
frontend.  I can't for the life of me see what the problem is here.

MYSQL password is correct and IP addresses are setup correctly on the
back end for server location.

Can anyone suggest anything I can do to troubleshoot this?
