Will go through this again. I know it is some simple step that I missed. I have indications that the SBE is able to connect to the MBE but it does not seem to be a full connection. Do I even need to run mysql on the SBE? I tried disabling mysqld on the SBE but mythbackend would not startup. If it is not using the local copy of mysqld then I would think it would startup. Unless this is an indication of the actual problem. Maybe I'm getting close to figuring this out. > Once you can connect from your slave host and mythtv-setup sees your > existing video sources, then you can move forward by; checking the IP > addresses in General, adding your local card(s), and associating your > inputs with your existing sources. > > -- bjm Thanks for helping me try to figure this out.
