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
