I'd restart the backend with additional logging, and here's
how with 0.28 and 16.04 (and Mythbuntu.):

1st, make sure Mythbuntu allows configuring more logging
without editing the .service file

Type this:

     systemctl cat mythtv-backend | egrep -i additional

and expect to see likes like these:

     EnvironmentFile=-/etc/mythtv/additional.args
     ExecStart= ... mythbackend ... $ADDITIONAL_ARGS

If the above aren't there, stop, the rest of this won't
work. If you can restart the backend with -v general:debug,
that's the goal. mythbackend --setverbose ... won't help here.

If the above are present, then sudo yourFavoriteEditor /etc/mythtv/additional.args

and add the following in the file (make sure there are no
other lines that don't begin with a # in the file (it may
not even exist, which is OK):

     ADDITIONAL_ARGS="-v general:debug"

Now restart the backend

     sudo systemctl restart mythtv-backend

Pastebin the log from the line similar to:

     mythbackend version: master [v0.28.....

through:

     Bonjour: Service registration complete:..... or at least the last line of:
     Listening on TCP ......

It should only be about 100 lines.

There should be additional information about the addresses used
which is based on your settings plus a loop through all available
NICs and all available addresses on each NIC.
