Also something Rich West pointed out to me is that it's common for the 
backend to have 127.0.0.1 assigned in setup. Since mythweb is comparing 
that ip to remote_host it is on different networks and will not use the 
myth:// url. I changed my setup to be a lan ip instead of 127.0.0.1 (I 
was playing with a 2nd frontend at one point) so that was the cause.

Sorry to keep replying to myself.
