I've just installed 0.25.3 and as usual, after checking for changes, 
replaced the distributed version of mythburn.py with my patched version. 
  I must confess that I had forgotten one patch that is probably still 
relevant here.  I need to correct one of the earlier references in this 
thread too.

In the distributed version you will find

configHostname = DB.gethostname()

Replace this with

configHostName = "TheFrontendNameAsSetInMythtvsetupAndPassedInConfigXml"

I don't know if there's a way of doing this that doesn't require a new 
edit for every frontend.  Perhaps something like

configHostName = DB.getlocalhostname()  ?

Maybe that will help :-)
