[mythtv-users] Connecting remote frontends

Thanks for your reply.

I can ping & ssh into it over my network, so I assume the firewall would not
be the issue. Is this assumption correct?

I found instructions on how to set MySQL for remote access, but they didn't
fix the issue. I did comment out the line bind-address = 127.0.0.1. 
Assuming my assumption above is correct, that would seem to indicate that
the instructions for setting MySQL for remote access are incorrect. If
that's the case, can you suggest a suitable online reference?

TIA

Peter

1) Firewall?
2) MySQL permissions for remote access?
3) Network? Can you ping / ssh from the client to the server?

Hi everyone

I've just built a new MythTV backend, running Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit &
installed MythTV 0.25 on it. My remote front ends can't connect to it,
though when I installed MythTV on the backend I selected the option to allow
remote frontends. The local frontend on the machine that has the backend
works just fine.

I've researched the issue, but it appears that my googlefu is not up to
speed as I haven't been able to resolve the issue.

Can anyone point me at a guide that would help resolve this issue?

TIA

Peter
