Can't stream recordings, no logs

[JerkyChew]

My MythTV setup consists of a master BE, a slave BE with FE role and
an FE-only machine. My slave BE now does all of my recording via HD-
PVR.

I've installed MythDroid and MDD on all of my boxes. I can control my
FEs and can see my recordings on my phone, an HTC Evo. Sometimes it
takes several tries before the recordings show up on my Evo.

I'm trying to stream recordings to my phone, but I get "connection to
_servername_:16546 refused". I'm running VLC and FFMPEG on all of my
machines. The documentation says that there are logs in .tmp, but on
both of my BEs there's an empty mdd.log file and nothing else.

I suppose the first thing I need to figure out is why my logs aren't
logging. Can anybody offer some advice? Thanks in advance.

So I guess you've done a backend-only (--backend) install on your MBE
and normal installs on your other boxes?

The first step is to check that MDD is running.

On the MBE, the latest version of MDD will try to install an init
script so that MDD (/usr/bin/mdd) is automatically started at boot.
Earlier versions did not do this and expected you to arrange for MDD
to be started on each boot..

So, can you see MDD running on your MBE? (Is /usr/bin/perl
/usr/bin/mdd in your process list?)

On the other boxes, MDD should be run automatically by mythfrontend so
you should be able to see /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/mythlcdserver in your
process list.
