Greetings,

I have ran mythtv for quite some time but have not been active in the 
mailing list - until now.

I have a rather weird problem. I recently did a total rebuild of my 
mythtv box and am now running mythbuntu 12.04 and mythtv .26 on it. 
Because I have a android phone I wanted to check out the add on's so 
that I can watch the recorded shows and such. However, I cannot get the 
android to recognize my mythtv setup. Aside from the normal install of 
mythtv here is what I have done so far:

1. In backend setup - General tab - Changed the default ip address from 
localhost to my actual IP address on network.
2. Made sure there is no firewall issue in seeing the mythtv box.

However, I really do not find anywhere on thenet that has some setup 
information or troubleshooting info for mythtv backend. Most all I see 
is "how to getup blah,blah program".

The error Iam getting is "no backends found" when using any of the add 
on programs for android. I think I am having a port issue as per some 
service is not running and should but I cannot find it. Below is some 
more information and sorry if this is long winded.

I can see my ports on the box no problem and mythtv2013 is on the same 
network as all my other boxes.

NMAP REPORT

Nmap scan report for mythtv2013 (10.0.1.12)

6543/tcp open mythtv

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.20 seconds

I think Im missing port 6544 or something here????

Would appreciate some help please.
