Description

I am running MythTV 0.27. Up to today everything was fine. But now the Backend is constantly crashing since the latest fix update installation. Having a look into the logs shows that it most obviously has an issue with the housekeepertask "RecordedArtworkUpdate?". There is a kind of memory access error happening.

Exact last lines of mythbackend log shows: 2013-10-10 22:57:02.798351 I Queueing HouseKeeperTask? 'RecordedArtworkUpdate?'. 2013-10-10 22:57:02.800995 I Running HouseKeeperTask?

I posted the issue in Google+ community already. Got the reply that codelines in https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/commit/e59e5f63de5f5c3fda1b58b2cf8e370c96c6337c or https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/commit/3798a07098272be9f04902ec71874b0d2fb1308d might could have caused the issue since they were recently updated.

Once time I even got a more detailed log message which I attach as file.

In c712ed04255fe416d95a674ed50e045d864759e8/mythtv:

Add secondary check to prevent housekeeper task from running twice.

This adds an extra check to prevent a HouseKeeperTask? from running
more than once simultaneously. This prevents an issue seen in a
misconfigured child task that was queued in concurrent passes. One
instance had not yet finished when the second one started a minute
later, and overwrote a shared pointer, eventually resulting in a
segmentation fault.

Cause spotted by Jonatan Lindblad.

In 7905afdd4fc7d9ee2eb1bf97bffe0f6e003cc1e9/mythtv:

Add back ArtworkTask? enable check... properly.

This adds the check for DailyArtworkUpdates? back to ArtworkTask?,
following its reversion in ca3a79bf407, but properly runs the
PeriodicHouseKeeperTask? check so it does not requeue once per minute.
