[mythtv-users] MythSocket errors on frontend when looking up MythVideo metadata

Hi all,

I just moved my backend from a backend/frontend combo machine to a
dedicated mythbackend server. The frontend stayed on the old machine.

I have everything configured - I can see and play my recordings, I can
watch live tv on all my tuners, etc.

The only problem that I am having so far is with MythVideo. I am using
storage groups, which I have double checked that are still correct.
When I open MythVideo on the remote frontend, I do see all my videos
but there is not coverart and not fanart. Also, when I try to play a
video, it doesn't work.

The frontend log shows the following error messages:

2010-01-09 13:33:39.120 MythSocket(7f0018004aa0:53): Unable to lookup: 
2010-01-09 13:33:39.120 RemoteFile::openSocket(file data socket), Error:

2010-01-09 13:33:40.878 RingBuffer::RingBuffer(): Failed to open remote
file (myth://Videos@:/40 Year Old Virgin.mp4)


I see that the frontend does not know the IP of the backend but I have
looked everywhere in the frontend setup for the setting and I can't
find anything.
The only setting referring to the backend IP is the IP of the database
host in Setup->General.

I am pulling my hair out trying to figure out why the IP is missing.
Please, help?
