Here is some terminal data from the last time mythbackend ran and mythfrontend froze up my X server: 2006-01-01 23:14:07.569 New DB scheduler connection is defined, but isn't attached to a cardinput. 2006-01-01 23:14:07.603 mythbackend version: 0.18.1.20050510-1 www.mythtv.org 2006-01-01 23:14:07.603 Enabled verbose msgs : important general 2006-01-01 23:14:09.591 Reschedule requested for id -1. 2006-01-01 23:14:09.706 Scheduled 0 items in 0.1 = 0.10 match + 0.01 place 2006-01-01 23:14:09.712 Seem to be woken up by USER 2006-01-01 23:14:17.613 New DB connection, total: 3 2006-01-01 23:14:30.270 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2006-01-01 23:14:30.270 adding: camille as a client (events: 0) 2006-01-01 23:14:30.460 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2006-01-01 23:14:30.460 adding: camille as a client (events: 1) 2006-01-01 23:14:30.494 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2006-01-01 23:14:30.494 adding: camille as a client (events: 0) 2006-01-01 23:14:30.551 MainServer::HandleAnnounce Playback 2006-01-01 23:14:30.551 adding: camille as a client (events: 0) 2006-01-01 23:14:30.568 adding: camille as a remote ringbuffer 2006-01-01 23:14:30.596 Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV 2006-01-01 23:14:33.122 joined null string in WriteStringList 2006-01-01 23:14:39.442 Changing from WatchingLiveTV to None As you can see, at 23:14:33:122 it says "joined null string to WriteStringList". I don't know much about complex programming and barely anything at all about mythtv itself, but in my experience using objects that have a null value is not usually a good thing (if ever). Is this normal for MythTV? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
