Bug description:
  Binary package hint: mytharchive


  Hi,

  I'm using the 0.20svn20070122ubuntu3 package from ubuntu of
  mytharchive. In my setup I've got a dedicated backend and a dedicated
  frontend. Since my backend is under powered I wanted to run the
  archiving on the frontend.

  The python error is here.

  ------------------------------------------------------------

  I'm guessing that either

  * mytharchive looks on the localhost for the mythtv database to grab
  the information about the recordings. However the database is actually
  on the backend. In which case it should really connect to which ever
  backend is set in the frontends config files to grab the info.

  or

  * the backend database hasn't got permission/a hostname entry for
  mytharchive to dip into the database
