Right, poor choice of words on my part. It finds the address from settings
BackendServerIP, but when it loops through the NIC's addresses, it isn't
there. So we end up with the Host is configured to listen on 192.168.1.100,
but address is not used on any local network interfaces message.

Interestingly, the code that does this logs most all cases of problems,
but, if the NIC is down, there's just a continue. I'm testing a patch to
log that too.

Simple test actually, I just took my NIC down and started the backend. Got
the same errors (plus their IPv6 versions for my machine.)

Fred, if Roger's test works, there's a solution available for the mythtv-backend
.service to prevent the problem. Please confirm if/that the backend can be restarted
after boot and works OK.
