[mythtv-users] mythwelcome binds to same udp port as mythfrontend

[Yianni Vidalis]

Hi.

I don't know if I should report this as bug, or it's as intended.

I am try to find out why mythcontrol doesn't work for 2 frontends while it 
works for other two. In the process I discovered that on a frontend that is 
started by mythwelcome, it cannot bind the udp port (for mythutil?) to 6948 
because it's already in use. I changed the port to 6949, exited  mythfrontend 
and restarted it and it bound ok to the new port.

Upon reboot, it complained that the (new) port is already in use, and 
netstat -lp | grep myth shows:

tcp      0      0 localhost:6546        *:*         LISTEN   3093/mythfrontend   
tcp      0      0 localhost:apc-6547   *:*       LISTEN   3093/mythfrontend   
udp     0      0 localhost:6949          *:*                  2998/mythwelcome    
udp        0      0 255.255.255.255:ssdp    *:*           3093/mythfrontend   
udp        0      0 239.255.255.250:ssdp    *:*             3093/mythfrontend   
udp        0      0 *:apc-6549              *:*            3093/mythfrontend  


By the way, why does it bind to "localhost" and not to the external ip?
Is this why the networkcontrol doesn't work (I'm trying to use mythmote and it 
fails to connect).

Best Regards,
