vuplusip is just a dummy, but name resolution works.

My Installation:

Mythtv 0.29+fixes on Ubuntu 18.04 (mythbutbu-packages):
1 master-backend configured with a HDHR3-4DC DVB-C tunerbox and the vu+-IPTV
1 combined (slave-)BE/FE configured with two DVB-C pci-tuner-cards (KNC
ONE TV Station) + 1 CI-Module (Alphacrypt).
1 FE on an Intel NUC

MariaDB 10.4.8 in a separate docker container (Ubuntu 18.04).

Everything works fine, but when I switch livetv to the vu+-tuner I get
this error:

Oct  3 15:14:35 homer mythfrontend.real: mythfrontend[19587]: E
CoreContext livetvchain.cpp:289 (GetEntryAt) It appears that your
backend may be misconfigured.  Check your backend logs to determine
whether your inputs, lineups, channels, or storage configuration are
reporting errors.  This issue is commonly caused by failing to complete
all setup steps properly.  You may wish to review the documentation for
mythtv-setup.

Then the mariadb crashes:
191003 15:14:34 [ERROR] mysqld got signal 11 ;

So it seems tuner configuration is broken somehow...
