I have 2 systems named mythtv and I need to change one of them and switch it to being a front end. however when I change the hostname, it refuses to load mythfrontend for some cryptic reason. I don't see any setting in setup to change this. What else do I need to change?

Changing hostnames is definitely not as trivial as it seems it would be.

The hostname is widely used in the database, to keep settings for multiple systems separate. See http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php? ... nlyInstall for the rundown on the necessary changes.

EDIT: ceenvee703 beat me to it, and with a very good link.

If you are gonna switch it to just being a front end, it might be easier to just wipe and reinstall.
