Mythmote wont connect to mythbuntu 12.04, seems frontend is not listening on all interfaces

I just now found out (thanks to your sleuthing) that a temporary solution is to port forward with ConnectBot.

Port Forwarding is a bit tricky, there's a menu entry, "Port Forwards", that shows up once you're connected. You should also be able to get to it by "long pressing" a host before you connect.

This Port Forward screen is empty. To add entries to it, press the menu button and click "Add port forward"

Once you have port forwarding setup, you'll need to modify the mythmote to connect to '127.0.0.1' now that you're actually connecting to the port on your android (that is a "tunnel" to the external host).

Edit: since this post has gained some traction, let me consolidate:

1) a simplier solution is to run sudo mythtv-setup as the user that runs mythtv. Then configure the backend address to be the external one.

Also note the following bugs:

• Proxy: http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/10633
• IPv6: http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/11030

Can't say I have the same problem, however it seems similar: On atom box running latest 12.04.1 ubuntu kernel.

When boot up I exit frontend. and then go to control-centre. Open it and select Infrared control and remotes; I select Android and then apply - it says nothing to do (this is OK).

I then leave control-centre in this state (it seems there is a bug as the code to wroite out the selection does not work).

Goto menu and select front-end and wait for start. Select watch and away you go. Mythmote now connects!!!
