[Solved] what tcp ports does myth use now?

hi, i am googling around and i cannot find in documentation where it explains what ports are used and for what purpose. i just upgraded to 33.1 and i see myth backend uses these 4 ports:

Code: Select all

netstat -ltnp |grep :65
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:6543            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      2222/mythbackend
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:6554            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      2222/mythbackend
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:6549            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      2222/mythbackend
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:6544            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      2222/mythbackend

i know what 6544 is used for the web interface and I think 6543 is used for frontend to backend communications? but what about the others?

thanks

The backend uses these TCP ports:
6543 : BackendServerPort (MythProtocol)
6544 : BackendStatusPort (old http server)
6549 : SSDP Discovery (Simple Service Discovery Protocol)
6554 : BackendSSLPort i.e.: BackendStatusPort + 10
6744 : new http server, i.e.: BackendStatusPort + 200
