MythTV crashes on DVB scrambled channels

[mattia@…]

Mythfrontend 0.18.1 always crashes when it tries to tune a scrambled DVB channel. So I have to wait Mythfrontend to close, I have to kill mythbackend and I have to restart both the programs. Another problem is that when I restart mythbackend it tries to tune that scrambled channel (which isn't the starting channel in mythtv-setup) another time, so I can't seriously watch TV anymore. To solve the problem I have to setup my starting channel in mythtv-setup. I can't remove these scrambled channels from the channel editor because the Italian national televisions (RAI and Mediaset) are free-to-air, but make its channels scrambled sometimes, there aren't always scrambled. When they are scrambled, MythTV crashes and this is no good.

You need to test with SVN head and supply a backtrace.

How I can supply a backtrace?

(In [7596]) Closes #335. Really.

I had hoped to integrate Wendy's patch in a separate commit, but I overwrote the original..

Anyway this adds search of multiple fields, by adding a comma or ">" between phrases. The fields searched are filename, artist, album, and title.

And, I was wrong about the regular expressions. A regular expression detector would be needed for this, but otherwise the support is there.

sorry, meant to reference #355.

There will be no fixes for DVB on 0.18.1. Use SVN head, and provide backtraces on any crash.
