Hey guys, here's some background info first before I get to my questions: I'm running a combo frontend/backend machine on FC3 and Myth 18.1 ATRPM's using Jarod's guide. This box has 1 PVR-250 tuner card. All is working very well, but I've been yearning for a 2nd tuner so I decided to setup a slave backend which will connect to a 2nd cable box (moto 6200) via Firewire.
So, I've got the slave box setup with FC3 and Myth 18.1, and I opened up the security on the MySQL DB on the master machine to allow other connections from my internal network. (per the Myth documentation) The IP of the master machine is 192.168.0.150 and the IP of the slave is 192.168.0.160. These are static IP's assigned by the router. On the mythtvsetup for the master, I changed both the "this machine" and "master backend" IP address fields from 127.0.0.1 to the "real" IP of 192.168.0.150. Fine, no problems yet. Then I go through mythtvsetup on the slave, and assign the "this machine" field to 192.168.0.160, and the "master backend" field to 192.168.0.150. Makes sense so far, right? However, when I start mythbackend on the slave box, it starts as the MASTER SERVER. What!!?? I've double and triple-checked the IP addresses to make sure I didn't make a typo anywhere, but I didn't. My admittedly simplistic understanding of this is if the 2 IP addresses are different in the setup, then mythbackend assumes it's a slave, but if they're the same then it assumes it's the master. The IP's in my slave setup are clearly different (and correct), but yet it still thinks it's the master. Some additional info: Neither of these machines have a real hostname. Both are localhost.localdomain. This caused a problem for me initially when doing mythtvsetup because the setup thought they were both the same machine - each setting I changed would be shared by the other. I then modifed the mysql.txt file on the SLAVE box, by uncommenting the LocalHostName field and setting it to "slave." Now, the setup appears to be correct, except of course that the slave backend starts up as the master server. (might this initial confusion have hosed something up?) Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I'm absolutely baffled my this. Setting up a slave backend seems like a fairly straightforward thing, so I'm surprised that I'm hitting this roadblock. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
