Okay, so I solved my problem. It was the ol' "I setup two cards and after first boot the two cards were recognized in the opposite order" bug. It's funny because I've had that problem in previous installations and the frontend still connected to the backend (only failed on recordings). I suppose that this version of the backend will silently fail on initialization and not open network ports.

:oops: Anyway, I hope this helps the others...

Hi,

Thanks for the sharing. Only having one tuner card, that problem has never come my way :)

I had the same symptoms, but had yet to connect any cards to my machine! I tried the code fixes suggested with no luck - the backend process would not start. So I ran /usr/bin/mythbackend directly in a shell to see if there was any error messages. It seemed to suggest that a value for the BackendServerIP was missing, so I ran mysql and did the following:

Code:
mysql>use mythconverg;
mysql>insert into settings (value,data,hostname) values('BackendServerIP','127.0.0.1','mythtv');
mysql> exit

After a restart it has worked OK so far...[/code]

It's a known bug. Restart the server as described. To cure it permanently edit /etc/init.d/mythtv-backend (you must become root to do this) and make the section under the start) case look like this:
Code:
  start)
        echo -n "Starting $DESC: $NAME"
        start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile $RUNDIR/$NAME.pid \
                --chuid $USER --nicelevel $NICE --exec $DAEMON -- $ARGS
        echo "."
        ;;

This should mostly involve deleting the extraneous and buggy if wrapped around the call to start-stop-daemon. Remember that Linux is case sensitive and make sure that there's no whitespace following the \ on the third line.


I just want to say that I recently upgraded from R5B7 to R5E50 and I had the problem that the frontend could not connect to the backend after a restart. Note that the frontend and backend are running on the same machine.

TJC's suggested fix (i.e., editing the mythtv-backend file) solved the problem for me.
