[21:39:03] wookey: mkbloke: yes I can telnet to BE from FE on 6543
[21:46:17] mkbloke: strange. maybe the error is misleading... Have you restored the recordings into a storage group defined in mythtv-setup? Are the files of the correct ownership with the right permissions, plus that would apply to the storage dir itself.
[21:47:19] mkbloke: I don't use the frontend myself, so I'm just guessing here.
[21:47:55] mkbloke: It's not a pin code issue either? Did you have one set before that wasn't 0000?
[21:49:00] wookey: I didn't have a pin code set at all, but I had to add one set to 0000 to allow kodi mythtv plugin to do anything
[21:49:56] wookey: I did change the permisisons of all the files in /home/mythtv/mythtv (where the recordings, liveTV etc storage group directories are to mythtv:mythtv
[21:50:19] wookey: (swapping the drive out of the original machine meant all those were wrong)
[21:51:12] wookey: by 'restored into a storage group' do you mean, made those files available in the directories defined for the storage groups? In which case 'yes'.
[21:51:30] wookey: The on-disk layout is exaclt as it was with the old database which has been restored
[21:51:35] markk_ (markk_!~mark@host109-151-69-221.range109-151.btcentralplus.com) has quit (Ping timeout: 268 seconds)
[21:52:05] wookey: because the /home lvm partitiion is mounted as /home
[21:52:29] wookey: I see that I have the EPG working as well as getting the list of channels and recordings
[21:52:43] wookey: but live TV and playing a recording, or a video all fail.
[21:56:49] wookey: the frontend log for trying to watch live is at: http://paste.debian.net/1169145/
[21:58:00] wookey: hmm, and nothing at all appears in the BE log
[21:58:07] wookey: that has to be a clue.
[21:59:05] mkbloke: ah, it looks like the FE is trying to use IPv6 link local address.
[21:59:44] wookey: yes. I was noticing that. and it's the wrong address for the BE
[22:01:09] wookey: so that's the equivalent of looking at locahost in?
[22:01:20] wookey: (still a bit vague about IPV6)
[22:04:47] wookey: the address it is trying to connect to is not an IPV6 on the FE or on the BE
[22:04:58] wookey: trying: fe80::cf:9ff:fe42:733
[22:05:16] mkbloke: if you do: /sbin/ifconfig on the BE host, you'll see the link local IPv6 addr there. it *should* be the one that the FE is trying to connect to in theory
[22:05:35] wookey: FE eth0: fe80::21f:16ff:fe35:7809, FE wireless: fe80::4357:19a:7728:564c, BE eth0:fe80::216:e6ff:fe1e:dd68
[22:05:48] mkbloke: ^^^ under the def for your external interface
[22:07:24] wookey: I did ip a but same difference. http://paste.debian.net/1169148/
[22:08:30] wookey: how do I look up an ipv6 address to find out where it thinks it is looking?
[22:10:33] mkbloke: initially perhaps look at what is in /etc/resolv.conf to see what nameserver the system is looking at perhaps. I believe MythTV can also do some auto detection via SSDP though, which I don't know for sure, but might be at play here perhaps...
[22:11:15] wookey: dns is my router: search home.wookware.org
[22:11:16] wookey: nameserver 192.168.1.2
[22:11:35] wookey: SSDP? what's that
[22:13:42] mkbloke: Simple Service Discovery Protocol.
[22:14:43] mkbloke: Used in uPnP
[22:14:46] wookey: is that what interrogates uPNP stuff?
[22:15:27] wookey: I'm beginning to see why normal people just buy a tivo or sky box...
[22:15:55] wookey: Although I've never had this much trouble before. I've been using mythtv for more than a decade.

[22:23:37] mkbloke: maybe you could just get around it by using the IPv4 of the BE in the config.xml on the FE?
[22:35:53] wookey: That's what's already configured
[22:36:01] wookey: I never said anything about IPv6 in the config
[22:36:42] wookey: I changed it from 'burble' to 192.168.1.101 in ~/.mythtv/config.xml and restarted frontend
[22:36:58] wookey: but it's still listing that unkown ipv6 adress in the logs
[22:37:23] wookey: I'm wondering if that's coming from the backend or the database somehow.
[22:38:15] wookey: because it _is_ talking to the backend (It doesn;t compain about no backend, I can set things to record, see the EIT, etc)
[22:38:33] wookey: I've put up the backend log in case it helps http://paste.debian.net/1169152/
[22:41:07] wookey: 'tvbox' is the FE here
[22:44:39] amessina (amessina!~amessina@unaffiliated/amessina) has joined #mythtv-users

[22:47:26] wookey: ooh. well spotted

[22:49:35] mkbloke: Maybe it would be worth firing up mythtv-setup and looking around the IP settings there to see if you reset that to the current host. I *presume* it could be a hangover in the DB from your old machine...
[22:49:45] wookey: so where might that 'serverpool' config item be coming from?
[22:49:49] mkbloke: *if you can reset
[22:51:23] mkbloke: if you still have the backup SQL, you could search it for that address and find out where in the DB it might be, then change the DB by hand also
[22:53:20] wookey: Right it's right there on page1, but I've just been ignoring the IPv6 config because I didn;t think I was using it.

[22:55:41] mkbloke: are there any settings wrt the link local addr? I've not fired up mythtv-setup for a long time now, so I can't really remember much about it...
[22:57:47] mkbloke: another option otherwise, could be to make a copy of you SQL backup, so a search and replace of the old link local address to the new one; stop mythtv BE; reload that SQL into the DB, then start mythtv BE again.
[22:58:35] psymin (psymin!~psymin@fsf/member/psymin) has quit (Quit: Leaving)
[22:58:47] wookey: OK. we have liftoff!
[22:58:57] mkbloke: \o/
[22:59:22] wookey: got as far as a blank window here (using remote X for testing), but go backj downstairs and indeed recordings and TV play at last
[22:59:36] mkbloke: Yay!
[23:00:12] wookey: So for whatever reason it uses IPv4 to initially connect and do some functions, but IPv6 (if configured) to do TV playback/find files
[23:01:14] wookey: I don't think I ever filled that IPv6 in myself.
[23:01:21] wookey: anyway thanks muchly for your help
[23:01:36] mkbloke: seems like it. I can't remember now if you can turn off IPv6, but glad it's working for you.
[23:01:50] wookey: You really need someone to check you aren;t going mad, and hopefully with some more clue on how things fit together
[23:02:21] wookey: The missus will be pleased – she's been stuck with iplayer for a month...
[23:03:10] wookey: whilst I worked out tha tthe original machine was just flakey, then tried some other hardware that didn;t work out, then finally tried to move to new hostname/database restore with the associated fun and games
[23:03:55] wookey: Next I'll try and get some timer/wake-on-lan stuff to work. :-)
[23:04:51] mkbloke: more fun!
