Post subject:  Remote frontend not playing videos

I have an interesting problem. I am setting up a new remote frontend. I have preperated the master back end per the wiki. When I run the frontend I can see the list of available recording. When I attempt to play a recording:

1. The screen goes blank briefly

2. I come back to the list of recordings available with the recording I selected playing in a small window in the lower-right corner.

The frontend log contains the following:

I suspect that the issue is the attempt to use port 0 to access the recording on the master back end -- is there some place I need to configure this? Any other thoughts as to what I am doing wrong? Thanks for your help!

Problem worked around by nfs mounting the backend's "/myth/tv" directory on the front end.
