[mythtv-users] Can I use MythArchive from frontend?

[Paul Catchpole]

Hmm, mine's mounted in the same place on the frontend as back and it
complained about the missing setting. I think that's because my frontend
hostname doesn't match its database settings hostname - i.e. I've overridden
it in the frontend setup. 

One thing that does happen, and means I can't use it really - is selecting
'Exit' from the rolling-log-update screen on the frontend causes a crash of
mythfrontend. I need to recompile with debug and run it under GDB. 

So I have to leave it on overnight on that screen to do the transcode. 

Note that that crash is 90% of the time 'Exit' is pressed, the other 10% is
fine.

If you mount the directory in the same exact place on both
servers you shouldn't have to put this entry in the DB, because
the current code will search in the same directory locally as the
file is stored in on the backend.  If the file is not found there,
then the code will check the local RecordFilePrefix setting and
search there.
