latest svn: how to disable "Select default backend server"

Hi,

I compiled today mythtv from SVN and everything is working great.

But ... when I run mythfrontend, a window opens before mythfrontend,
which asks me to select default backend server.

The problem is that lirc does not work for me in this window, so I am
not able to turn it off and I cannot come to mythfrontend at all. I
have no keyboard on my mythbox and I do not want to choose "default
backend server" every time.

Any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks.

M.

If you go into mythtv-setup on your backend then General you can set the
PIN code to 0000 to allow all frontends to connect without a PIN. I was
able to get rid of the message on the frontend by doing this.

Quote from Nigel Pearson:

"For now, you could roll back main.cpp. e.g.:
svn update -r14491 programs/mythfrontend/main.cpp"

From this tread on the devel list:

It's also possible that your firewall is blocking the multicast
packets. If you allow access using iptables, it should work for you.
Something like this might help:

iptables -I INPUT -p udp -d 239.255.255.250 -s <IPADDR OF MYTHBOX>
--dport 1900 -j ACCEPT

I am not talking about PIN ... PIN is already disabled in the setup.

Thanks Ben, I thought that might be the only solution. You saved me a
lot of time.

But how do others use it? Or anyone with latest SVN have keyboard?
I would not mind this window if I could click on OK with my remote.

No firewall or anything else. Backend = frontend, they are both
running on the same box.

I switched back to an older revision, my remote frontend just didn't
want to see the backend. It looks like the wireless rt2500 installed
on my backend doesn't really support multicast (I don't see the
backend-ip on ping 224.0.0.1.

By the way, David committed a patch yesterday to temporally bypass the
autodiscovery functionality by using mythfrontend -d

See http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/14507. This adds the ability
to disable autodiscovery, should be what you are looking for.

Mythfrontend shows my backend but I am not able to select it, because
lirc does not work in this window.

I saw it a few hours ago. Nice :)
