Raspberry PI BE, Linux Mint FE, No Joy

Post by worik »

Friends

I have a raspberry PI running a BE I built from git source

For the front end I have tried kodi and mythfrontend from the Linux Mint repositories. The version information at the end of this.

Setting up the BE went well. It has detected my tuners and found the transmitted channels. Examoining it with nmap port 6543 is open.

Using netstat on the PI shows:
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:37230 127.0.0.1:6543 TIME_WAIT
tcp 0 0 192.168.1.10:6544 192.168.1.10:49822 TIME_WAIT

Started: sudo /usr/local/bin/mythbackend --logpath /tmp/ --user mythtv


When I start Kodi (which has the MythTV plugin) I can see a channel listing under TV, but none of them work

When I start up kodi in the backend log I see:

When I go to the TV section of Kodi and click on a channel the BE says:

Code: Select all

2021-09-21 06:40:11.769306 I [1102/28188] ProcessRequest mainserver.cpp:1769 (HandleAnnounce) - MainServer: MainServer::ANN Monitor

And I get a big blue "Channel Unavailable" screen on Kodi

Starting mythfrontend on the client has a lot of output on the FE,

I am guessing this is th important one. The last line before it hangs:

Code: Select all

2021-09-21 17:43:27.886514 I  Start up testing connections. DB 192.168.1.10, BE , attempt 0, status dbAwake, Delay: 2000
On the BE one line....

Searching around for answers I can say:

* The back end has its IP address a valid IP. I can ssh to it with no problems

* The "security Pin" is set to 0000

* The default storage directory is writeable

I am a bit stumped.
I will try compiling a frontend from GIT source. But I would like to use Kodi.
