[mythtv-users] Changing myth servers

My old server is dying, so I am bringing  a new server on line.

The old backend is running 0.18, and resides on tooth at 192.168.128.2.

Tne new backend is running 0.20, and resides on dionysus at 192.168.128.3.

I've copied all of the data from the old server, compiled myth 0.20 from 
source on the new backend and new frontend, dumped the database into the 
new server, and in general have everything almost working.

The problem comes in the playback.

On TV recordings, I can see the thumbnail, but when I go to play it I get:

2006-10-18 06:02:17.881 RemoteFile::openSocket(file data socket):
                        Could not connect to server "192.168.128.2" @ 
port 6543
2006-10-18 06:02:17.881 RingBuffer::RingBuffer(): Failed to open remote 
file (myth://192.168.128.2:6543/1028_20061011080000_20061011083000.nuv)

So... I suppose the database has an entry for each recording, along with 
the backend where it is stored.  Is there some neat way to tell myth 
that all of the recordings are now on dionysus (192.168.128.3) and not 
tooth (192.168.128.2)?

I am having a similar problem with movies; the new backend doesn't pick 
them up at all, although they are on the local file system.  I haven't 
looked at this yet (one issue at a time) but I suppose the solution will 
be similar...

Thanks,
