RE: MythTV PVR client 1.9.15 is not connecting to mythbackend ( version 0.27 ) - nickr - 2014-03-24

Is mythtv (including the mysql database) properly set up to accept connections from your LAN? A common error is to set it up to only work on localhost.

RE: MythTV PVR client 1.9.15 is not connecting to mythbackend ( version 0.27 ) - Geshka - 2014-03-24

Yes, It is seems to be so. It is working with other mythfrontend located on separate laptop, so I think it is able to receive external connections.

RE: MythTV PVR client 1.9.15 is not connecting to mythbackend ( version 0.27 ) - nickr - 2014-03-24

Then I suggest you post a debug log (wiki) to pastebin and post the link here (no more posting your logs inline please).

RE: MythTV PVR client 1.9.15 is not connecting to mythbackend ( version 0.27 ) - Geshka - 2014-03-25

It is quite interesting outcome from my today's troubleshooting effort - when laptop starts on WiFi - Myth addon connecting OK, but when boot up process finished with wired connection - addon is unable to connect to backend.... after boot I can plug Eth cable and it works also fine.

Any thoughts ?

Second issue that I have now is live TV is heavily choppy and pixelated. What could be possible reason for that?

Thanks for the prompt response. Here we go...

Try running the suggested mysqladmin command on the backend. You will probably need to use sudo to do so.
