I have been having this problem recently as well. Only I don't have to restart mythbackend, I just have to wait a little while and it will come back. Mythfrontend on the otherhand needs to be restarted. I am using mysql5 now, it didn't happen with mysql4. But then again I have reinstalled this entire system (Gentoo) and something else may be causing it.

I have been having this same problem for about 2 months now. I have to restart MythBackend and everything works again for .5 day to 3 days, then next time you go to check scheduled programs, you get nothing.

It is not necassarily after a mythfilldatabase update, as I usually don't run mythfilldatabase everyday. Sometimes waiting a week to run it, when I see the scheduled programs getting low.

I have tried using MythBackend in debug mode, but that doesn't appear to log anything that I found useful, no error messages, or anything.

If you find something please let us know.

Some more information, it can't access the scheduled recordings list,
but it has no problems getting the recorded programs table. This is
seriously strange, and I have no possible explanation.

Someone... anyone... help?

I seem to be losing the database connection before some recordings,
but not all. Mysql is *not* dying, and I am able to open and
manipulate the database via the mysql console without trouble.
Mythbackend itself isn't crashing either, it's just no longer able to
communicate with the database.

Mysql logs show no errors on that end, and I don't have to restart
mysqld to make things work. I _only_ have to restart mythbackend. I'm
running SVN from today. mysql is version 5.0.16. It happens rather
suspiciously on the first recording after a listings update... this is
common.

Here's a snippet of the log when it dies:

If the master is not running, rescheduling will happen when
