Chris may know better, after all MythWeb is his baby. :) AFAIK you
only need that port, but I don't run a firewall on my backend so I
don't know for sure.
Right or wrong, to get streaming from the backend port I commented this line:
# define('video_url', video_dir); //Normal http url
And uncommented this line:
define('video_url', 'myth://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].':6543');
