Hi,

No, but some troubleshooting ideas:

The Services API is a piece of mythbackend (and mythfrontend too.) Unless you've
started the backend with --noupnp or can't connect to port 6544 (e.g. no route to
it, firewall blocking etc.) it 'just works'.

Try this test: masterBackendAddressOrIP:6544/Myth/GetHostName from a browser.
The response will be: <String>yourHostName</String>.

If you need to look deeper, tail the backend log after starting it with -v upnp
(or typing: mythbackend --setverbose upnp to an already running backend.)
