Actually looking at the first part of the original post in this
thread, is it that there is some confusion between the two frontends
(one local to the backend and one remote). IIRC If the system thinks
the frontend is local, then it will try and access the recorded show
off the hard drive instead of streaming it. And it will fail cos its
not really local.

Do the machines have unique network names?
