I'm running Gentoo with a 2.6.5 kernel, a slightly-custom-patched version of ivtv-0.1.10-pre2-ck100z and 0.16 of mythtv. Everything else is essentially common. Also, I should mentioned that I *think* this problem only arose recently after I added a second PVR-250 (the second one is a 975 32552 model and the first one was a (985?) 32031) to my previously smooth-running myth box.
What seems to happen, perhaps every couple of days or so, but it could be triggered by who knows what, is sometimes when I'm trying to delete an episode from the main browsing screen, mythfrontend hangs for a good 30 seconds or so and then pops that window that says (paraphrasing) "can't connect to mythbackend... is it running?"
The strange part is that mythbackend *is* running, and if I try to *play* an episode right after that, everything works fine. But if I go back and try to delete again, I get the same message.
The only way I've found to fix the problem is to restart mythbackend. Then I can immediately delete the same episode.
Furthermore, when the system is in that state, I'll get a similar message from the mythweb status.php page. And again, if I restart mythbackend, the status page comes up with no problem.
I briefly scanned the archives for a similar problem, but the definition was a bit too complex, and I wasn't getting any good hits. Anyone else hit this or have any idea what might be causing it? The log output for mythbackend has *nothing* that I've noticed that would explain what's happening.
Thanks,
