well one of the working frontends decided to finally stop working and
now is looking at 127.0.0.1

out of curiosity I've set both the Master IP to my backend AND the
"local" ip to my backend. Watch Videos still is looking at 127.0.0.1

so now I am totally flummoxed. there is absolutely NO reason anyone
can give me as to why my frontends always look LOCALLY for videos but
works fine for recordings.
