Comment (by J.Pilk@…):

 The success flag is written using the frontend identifier;  it's read
 using the hostname.  If they don't match, it doesn't play.  After I unset
 the backend override I only had success when these two names were the
 same.

 I think the flag should be read using the LocalHostName.  But at present
 config.xml has two lines defining that.  It's unfortunate that the names
 are so similar. The current configuration works but I don't think it's
 reflected in this file snippet.

 I haven't rebooted or restarted mythbackend since quitting frontend setup.

     <MythFrontend>
       <DefaultBackend>
         <LocalHostName>gatewayf12</LocalHostName>
         <!-- This is NOT the name now shown in frontend Setup General -->
         <!-- The DVD played as soon as I quit frontend setup with the name
 set as below -->
       </DefaultBackend>
     </MythFrontend>
   </UPnP>
   <LocalHostName>gateway12</LocalHostName>
   <!-- machine hostname -->
   <Database>
