[Solved] frontend doesn't remeber audio selection

[Stuart2020]

Every time I start mythfrontend, I need to enter setup and re-select my audio preference. How can I make this stick, or at least enter my selection on the command line when starting the front end?

I'd start here: https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Config.xml#Troubleshooting . Settings, like audio selection are
saved in the DB.

I had thought the database only stored back end settings. Clearly each front end that attaches to the back end can use different audio settings.

There's a hostname column in the settings table. Both backend and frontend settings are stored there.

Solved. I am running my front end in Docker, which was changing the hostname for every instantiation. I found the docker command to set the host name on startup and all is now well.
