Yes. Benn there and done that. Sometimes their serve just doesn't respond and MYth doesn't pick it up. This should run on your back end server once a day. Sometime I have only 13/12/11 days worth of data into the future but eventually it picks up new listings correctly and your off to the races. I'm glad you've made headway. > Next, I want to get mythfrontend working > on my wife's computer. It will need to use the database and mythbackend > on my computer remotely.

The issue here is to get mysql to allow your wife's machine to have access. I am WOEFULLY inadequate and uneducated in this area. I promise that I am giving you incomplete or inaccurate info. (Honestly and openly though...) IIRC you need to do at least three things: 1) Set up mysql on the server to bind to the network. From /etc/mysql/my.cnf # keep secure by default! bind-address = 192.168.1.55 port = 3306 # this can make it even more secure: .55 is our backend address. Substitute your backend's IP and restart mysql. (NOTE - don't run that machine with DHCP...) 2) Change the settings in mythsetup to use your IP address instead of localhost. Do not change other settings. 3) You then have to run some mysql commands shown on the web to give remote devices access to the database. IIRC I used the strategy where you make eveything on the local net able to access the server. I thought it was in the Gentoo wiki but I'm not seeing it right now: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Setup_MythTV Go to the MySQL section 9.2. It should have been there, I thought. (Incorrectly) It's probably in Jarod's Fedora setup guide for MythTV. The deal here is that the standard setup for MySQL is overly secure for a MythTV type setup and you need to open it up. I hope this info is at least moderately helpful. I admit I'm a putz. I did get it working, but it was nearly a year ago I think. - Mark -- [email protected] mailing list
