Changing /etc/hosts won't change the MythTV DB automatically.

Remember to check <LocalHostName> in config.xml. It overrides the
value of the host's name.

It would be nice to have a fresh log put at pastebin.com because the
email lines are all folded. Your's are in /var/log/mythtv/ with names
like: mythbackend.20170802032732.23638.log
