Odd leanfront behavior
This may be expected, but I have a combo FE/BE with the mythtv-setup with a
Security Pin that is not 0000 and the IP address of 127.0.0.1.

The frontend on that NUC works okay. I tried to connect a FireTV 4K stick
to the backend IP address of 192.168.0.170 and it connected, but had no
thumbnails and you could not play the videos listed.

To make Leanfront work, I removed the # in the #bindaddress=:: line of the
mythtv.cnf file for mysql and I went into mythtv-setup and changed
127.0.0.1 to 192.168.0.170.

Then Leanfront worked. Not sure what changes worked, but I didn't think
Leanfront required the backend to be set up like that.

With leanfront you need to have a backend ip address accessible from
leanfront, otherwise leanfront looks on 127.0.0.1 for the thumbnails and
videos and cannot find them. The bindaddress for mysql has nothing to do
with it.
