mythbackend hanging

[anders.franzen@…]

Just start the mythbackend and let it sitt for awhile, it will lookup completly. Also after doing exiting a livetv view, some resources dont get released, so running out of tv-cards/tuners very quick.

Connect to port 6543 dont answers any commands:

socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(6543), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.1.67")}, 16) = 0
sendmsg(3, {msg_name(0)=NULL, msg_iov(2)=[{"35      ", 8}, {"MYTH_PROTO_VERSION 74 SingingPot"..., 35}], msg_controllen=0, msg_flags=0}, 0) = 43
recvfrom(3, 

Hanging in recv forever.

We will need a full backtrace of all threads (use thread apply all bt). info threads is not nearly enough information.

Also, please attach the backtrace in a file :)

[danielk]

Anders, is this on CentOS? We've been seeing similar reports on CentOS that we've been unable to trace to anything wrong on our end.

threads apply all bt

Replying to danielk:

Anders, is this on CentOS? We've been seeing similar reports on CentOS that we've been unable to trace to anything wrong on our end.

Hi, no, this is on Fedora 14. I will attach full thread backtrace. /A

[karl@…]

Im seeing this issue on Ubuntu 12.04 - need to restart nightly - unfortunately need to often kill.

[anders.franzen@…]

After playing around with the mythtv-setup, I found out that if I disable the EIT as Listing grabber in the Video Sources menu, the problem goes away. So I think it might be related to the EIT...

[sphery]

Please provide mythbackend --version information (attach as a file to this ticket). This sounds like it could be a dup of #10541 , which was fixed in master in a1d90159244 .

[anders.franzen@…]

mythbackend --version

[anders.franzen@…]

mythbackend version attached.

[anders.franzen@…]

I noticed in the mythbacken log that the last line in the log regarding any specific recorder, was like this:

2012-05-14 11:43:27.714030 E [14686/14711] TVRecEvent tv_rec.cpp:3660 (TuningFrequency?) - TVRec(9): Failed to set channel to 65. Reverting to kState_None

It seems I had an old channel specified that has been removed by the provider/distributor.

After removing that channel from my defined channels, the backend does not hang anymore. I tried to look in the src to see if I could come to any conclusions about this, but I dont have knowledge enough about how it works. I guess all the tuning is done from the main TVrec::run loop??

[beirdo]

This looks a lot like #10771, the fixes there might fix this.

[stuartm]

This should be fixed. See #10771
