My backend distro is Ubuntu 16.04 Server, so I don’t know about firewall. I do know that I installed Kodi and Kodi-pvr-mythtv on my frontends and they connected to the backend without a change except for the new IP address of the new backend. TV is playing find with Kodi.
We just prefer mythfrontend.
I’ll look into the firewall issues
