That doesn't seem to make any difference. |

Hmm. No messages like that in demsg output. |

My next guess would be that the wifi interface isn't up yet, and it's a DNS |
| 24 |
lookup timing out. |

How's MythTV these days? |

I ran Myth for 10+ years, but got frustrated at the lack of a small |
| 33 |
cheap silent front-end. |

Does the server still refuse to run on a headless machine without X11 |
| 36 |
and demand that you configure it via a MythTV client on a UI layed out |
| 37 |
for a TV? When I gave up on Myth I switched to SageTV. When Google |
| 38 |
bought that and shut it down, I switched to to Plex. Both SageTV and |
| 39 |
Plex can run on a server without X11 can be configured via a web UI. |
