another oddity I'm noticing, on a frontend that *does* work, I am
seeing a lot of this type of error in the log:
Jul 12 23:00:14 mythmini mythfrontend[5145]: E ImageLoad
mythuihelper.cpp:1349 (LoadScaleImage) MythUIHelper:
LoadScaleImage(myth://Videos@127.0.0.1:6543/44115_fanart.jpg) failed
to load remote image

shouldn't that also be looking at the master backend ip?
