The issues mentioned there could be related and I haven't managed to
follow all the advice given. The frontend logs show that the service
is listening on a an external ipv4 address, but not on an ipv6 address.

In the logs I see:

   127.0.0.1:5000
   10.0.0.4:5000
   [::1]:5000

and later the same but with port 5100. I guess the third line implies
I at least have ipv6 enabled, but maybe not on the external interface
(if that's possible - I'm no expert). The frontend runs an image
I create via a system call kiwi and I've yet to find out how to alter
aspects of ipv6. Also this is a frontend only, so I wasn't
sure how mythtv-setup relates. I don't include that on the frontend,
although I could easily enough.

Thanks everyone for the help, by the way.
