Connect Kodi To MythTV Backend Over Internet



Hi All,

I have a MythTV back-end & Kodi front-ends running successfully at home. Kodi installations are on Linux, Android and multiple Raspberry Pis and they all have access to the MythTV back-end server and they all are working flawlessly from within Kodi.

I have recently moved my business into an offsite factory and have setup another Kodi installation on a Raspberry Pi4 and I have successfully connected to my home server via the Kodi SFTP add-on and I have access to all my movies and it is working well.

I am now trying to connect the remote Raspberry Pi4 to my MythTV server at home and I am having no success.

I have opened up ports 6543 & 6544 in my home router and I have within the Kodi MythTV Add On Configuration form entered my home IP address as the server address and I am having no luck when I attempt to view TV. All I get is a message within Kodi stating “PVR Manager is starting up” and it goes no further.

Is what I am trying to do possible, and if so, what am I missing.

Thanks.

Paul
