> * In General > Host Address Backend Setup check that the Primary IP Address/DNS Name is set correctly. You may also want to disable Listen on All IP Addresses and then set your IPs. Exit and Save. Note that you must Save as there are some new database settings in MythTV 29 that are needed for mythbackend to run and mythfrontends to connect.
