Any chance you're running with the --noupnp option?
The Services API uses 6544. You can try some simple tests
to try to isolate the problem. From your backend:
<backendIP>:6544/Myth/GetHostName
The response should be:
<String>YourBackenHost'sName</String>
In your backend's log, you should see lines similar to these:
2013-05-09 14:51:10.534936 I [3259/3259] CoreContext serverpool.cpp:399 (listen) - Listening on TCP 127.0.0.1:6544
2013-05-09 14:51:10.534985 I [3259/3259] CoreContext serverpool.cpp:399 (listen) - Listening on TCP 192.168.1.204:6544
2013-05-09 14:51:10.535048 I [3259/3259] CoreContext serverpool.cpp:399 (listen) - Listening on TCP [::1]:6544
And, you're not there yet, but additional logging for the Services API
must be done with -v upnp. That can be added to a running BE with:
mythbackend --setverbose upnp
If you were using MythTV Android Frontend (version 1.10.1 is current,) then
the Help menu will get you to its Wiki and a FAQ as well as troubleshooting
tips. I don't recall doing anything special to enable port 6544, maybe its
just been on so long I forgot about it.
