[mythtv-users] MythTV needs to listen on 2 ports

[John Moore (Compucom Systems Inc)]

Then I guess there is nothing more to say on this.  The idea of the master backend can only have 1 IP is kind of limiting an short sided.  Especially since other services such as PLEX an XBMC  can listen on ALL network cards right after install.

For security reason, I can not an will not allow traffic to be forwarded thru the firewall.  I will drop MythTV before I do this.  The only thing PLEX couldn't do was live tv against my HDHR tuner.

What about slave backend server.  I was trying to avoid buying more hardware.  May use VM's.

Lets say I isolate the mythtv server on a 3rd network an a slave backend is attached to network 1 an network 3.  With the slave backend configured to listen to Network 1 an pointing it too the MASTER on the third network, where is the transcoding workload kept during streaming of live tv?
