[mythtvnz] Frontend on another computer

[Duncan Kennington]

Your problem is 

2006-01-12 18:04:11.977 Connecting to backend server: 127.0.0.1:6543 

You need to run mythtv-setup (on the backend) and change the Backend IP
address from 127.0.0.1 to 192.168.10.27 

It's set up only to look at the local machine (which is fine if the frontend
is on the same machine as the backend).

Well I can now get the MythTV GUI on my PC (from the MythTV machine)

I can do :-
robert@beast ~ $ mysql -h 192.168.10.27 -u root -p Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 5 to server version: 4.1.14-log

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql>       

....but when I do mythfrontend I get:-  (as stated, the GUI opens OK though)

robert@beast ~ $ mythfrontend

You probably should modify the Master Server settings in the setup program
and set the proper IP address.
