Hmm, step 9, the cards .. are configured on the machine where they physically reside. If a SBE goes down, on the status page, you'll see: "Encoder 3 is remote on SLAVE_HOSTNAME (currently not connected)" .. the MBE continues on it's way, rescheduling where appropriate. BTW, can you define "see the capture cards", how? If configured, http://MBE_hostname_goes_here:6544/ would show Tuner stats. [Likewise :6544 on SBE shows Tuner* stats, but only for that SBE's card(s)] mythtv-setup on SBE: you should see the videosource from the MBE (menu option 3), just don't configure a new one. Then, under input connections (menu option 4) this source should be available to your SBE card. If not, then it sounds like a MySQL issue of some kind. I'm not sure what the docs recommend, but I'd move your step #6 to #1. The mythtv-setup program needs the MBE IP/port configured in order to retrieve available videosources, etc. If you're unsure, a quick way to verify mythtv-setup on SBE is connected, would be to run 'mysqladmin processlist' on the MBE. There should be 3 threads (I think), with the [EMAIL PROTECTED] you're expecting. I mean no disrespect, but it should be a straightforward setup - therefore, instinct tells me it's something simple being overlooked. Then again, I don't surprise easily .. unless something works on the first try without reading the docs - then I worry. -Jay FYI: I just setup my (1st) SBE in the last 48 hours, but it worked out of the box, first attempt, recordings and scheduling all in order, playback = good, "failover" to MBE-only = good. Ultimately, this slave will probably take over BE duties, but I can't miss recordings in the meantime. ;)
