Deja vu...

And the post I gave you is from the most-recent (Sort by post date)
thread containing the words "unknown encoder".

Mike,

I did search, but I included the "GET_MAX_BITRATE" and it turned up
nothing. I should have thought to open my search more and look for
the more generic error.

Thanks for the pointer and lesson in searching.

Still learning,

Tony

That configuration it finds is config.xml in the .mythtv directory in
the home directory of the user running the (slave)backend.
In it are the connection details for finding and connecting to the
database. So edit this file and replace the old database
hostname/ip-address with the new location. Or simply delete it.
Next run mythtv-setup

A couple of failing ideas. a 16Gb flash drive and a 320GB spinning rust in
an external box, but they keep going off line. I just ordered a 128GB micro
SD, that I hope to partition after I flash it. What do you use?

I would suggest moving to ODROID - C4. Yhey are mostly compatible to
rPi, slightly faster, but more important they have an eMCC socket.
There are also Odroids with more extensive disk capabilities
