OK I'm getting the following errors when running from the console, what am
I missing? it appears to be configured correctly to 172.16.107.77 .

2007-09-17 21:38:21.788 Connecting to backend server: 127.0.0.1:6543 (try
1 of 5)
2007-09-17 21:38:21.788 Connection timed out.
                        You probably should modify the Master Server
                        settings in the setup program and set the
                        proper IP address.

also having issues mounting via nfs
mount 172.16.107.77:/storage /storage
mount_nfs: /storage: Operation not permitted

I have been able to mount this on another linux box but not macOSX

but I was able to mount via samba
mount -t smbfs //mythtv/storage /Users/<username>/Documents/storage/
which also wasn't working, I finally got working by symbolically linking
/Users/<username>/Documents/storage/ to /storage and my videos are under
/storage/videos on my backend
