Mythfrontend hangs when exiting

[bob.havlin@…]

When exiting mythfrontend, the application hangs.

If I press Ctrl-c twice from the command line, it eventually quits. Looks like the hang begins with "Bonjour: De-registering service" but nothing informative comes from the "mythfrontend -v all" option.

Please grab a backtrace after the last debug message is printed. The TicketHowTo has links describing how to grab a backtrace. Then attach the backtrace here so we can analyze it.

FYI In the spam filter catches you out then compressing the log will allow you to bypass the filter but in this case the log is unlikely to tell us much.

I am also affected by this issue. I would be willing to provide any information necessary.

+1. openSUSE 12.2 x64; mythtv 0.25 works fine; removed all 0.25 traces prior to 0.26. myth-setup also hangs.

[borgeh@…]

Same problem here. Kubuntu 12.10, 0.26 patches, kernel 3.5 x64. Honk if you want me to log something.

[lmaendle@…]

The effect happens only on pure frontend machines. Some debugging reveals, that in mythairplayserver.cpp the function call on line 355 (gMythAirplayServerThread->wait()) does not return. It seems, that the function call in the previous line (gMythAirplayServerThread->exit()) has no effect.

[borgeh@…]

K 12.10 user 2 above here again. I run both backend and frontend on the same computer, but still got the effect. Now I cannot reproduce it, but I will get back here if it shows up again. It would be strange if 0.26 patches somehow fixed this during the last day...

[danielk]

Bob Havlin, we need a full backtrace. The one you grabbed is of only a single thread.

[bob.havlin@…]

Replying to danielk:

Unfortunately/fortunately, I cannot get it to hang anymore. I did a clean reinstall of mythbuntu over the weekend and I think that may be the reason.

Not sure if it is related, but airplay was not working and after my clean install airplay works.

I'll keep trying to see if I can get it to hang, but previously it would hang every time I exited.

[George Nassas <gnassas@…>]

I didn't notice the patches until just now but I'll update my system and see if the hang happens again. In the meantime the full bt may verify if the patch is headed in the right direction.

[George Nassas <gnassas@…>]

Hi, I got an FE exit hang even though I have the patch applied.

[lmaendle@…]

This patch corrects the problem for me.

[lmaendle@…]

The above attached patch (mythtv_airplay.patch) corrects the problem for me.

[deadletterfile@…]

gnu debugger from mythfrontend

[deadletterfile@…]

My approach was brutish. I commented out line 314 in mythairplayserver.cpp

gMythAirplayServerThread = new MThread("AirplayServer?");

to prevent the airplay server from being created.

For me the only response to a mythfrontend hang was [Ctrl][Alt][F3] from which I could log in and kill mythfrontend. [Alt][Tab] nor the mouse seemed to work. RoyBoy626

+1. openSUSE 12.2 x64; mythtv 0.25 works fine; removed all 0.25 traces prior to 0.26. myth-setup also hangs.

Disabling AirPlay? under FE Setup/General? solves the FE hanging but myth-setup still hangs.

[danielk]

jya, I think the problem might be deeper than just changing how m_bonjour is deleted. I only looked at this a little bit but I think this might suffer from that QXXXSocket issue I discussed with you. i.e. where all the sockets are created in the same thread and all the socket handling ends up being done in that one thread. If so there are two workarounds: 1/ just pass a socket file descriptor instead of a QTcpSocket to the handler thread and create the QTcpSocket in the right thread or 2/ you can reassign the thread a QObject belongs to using ​http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qobject.html#moveToThread.

#1 has implications for Qt5 which changes the socket descriptor type from int to qintptr, but if you get it to work on Qt4.x I can easily make it Qt5 compatible since I have the build environment set up.

Anyway, I only did a little of bit of debugging before deciding this was a rabbit hole I didn't have time for at the time. I did find that the way to reproduce this was to run bonjour in an environment where it could never start up properly (I don't remember the details.)

[jyavenard]

daniel, in the case of AirPlay? video, the QXXSocket is created in the main thread, and deleted in the main thread

But I'll look into it further...
