In addition to Tom Hayward's advice, try starting mythbackend with the
--noupnp flag. If you have /etc/sysconfig/mythbackend, for example,
add

OPTIONS="--noupnp"

to it.

I think the flag will prevent using HLS (the MythTV-on-Android stuff
discussed a lot on the list lately), but will make the
frontend-backend connection more reliable in my experience. It will
also stop the constant

HttpServer126 servicehost.cpp:134 (Invoke) - MethodInfo::Invoke - An
Exception Occurred: Not Authorized
HttpServer127 servicehost.cpp:405 (ProcessRequest) - Not Authorized

in the mythbackend log. (What causes that, anyway? I think it started
after I tried out the JWPlayer embedded in mythbackend's internal
Webserver.)
