Hey everyone,
I have 3 mythtv boxes. 1 backend which I setup myself based on Debian, and 2 frontends that I setup using Knoppmyth.
My problem is with one of the Front ends. It refuses to play Live TV or Recorded TV. When I do it gives me the error. "The file for this recording can not be found."
I ran mythfrontend in an xterm window and got this when I attempted to play:

on a whim I decided to nfs share out my tv directory and mounted it on this frontend. It then decided that it could play everything. But then soon after my SQL database started messing up and crashed. I am not sure that this caused that to happen but I don't want to make any chances.
I have setup this many times and Live TV has just worked, and I am a little stumped as why it is not now. I have checked all the settings and they seem correct and the frontend is able to access the Mysql database I just can't seem to access the files on the backend.
I have reformated half a dozen times already over this, using the last 2 releases of Knoppmyth (5D and 5C) and always the same problem. I have a second frontend that is working perfect so I am sure that it can't be my server.
Also something else kind of strange. I have removed the mythtv-backend from this box and I decided to try running mythtv-setup, well I was able to change the setting on my backend. It saw my cards and all of my sources like I was logged into the backend. I actually logged out and checked my IP to make sure I was logged into the frontend. My second frontend does not do this, when I log into mythtv-setup it just shows the local settings. Kinda weird....
Anyone have any ideas?
