mythtv-setup XMLTVFindGrabbers -- Cannot create children for a parent that is in a different thread

[sphery <mtdean@…>]

In mythtv-setup when entering Video Sources and selecting a video source (in my case a Schedules Direct source), the errors:

QObject: Cannot create children for a parent that is in a different thread.
(Parent is QProcess(0x8bd50ec), parent's thread is QThread(0x87d3cc8), current thread is XMLTVFindGrabbers(0x8bd50e4)

occur and then mythtv-setup seems to lock up. BT attached for good measure.

backtrack created by Ctrl-C'ing mythtv setup when it locked up

I'll check this out in the next few days if no one else gets to it first.

PS I get the error messages, but not the lockup.

try inhering ur class from QBoject publicly, like:

class Myclass: public QObject, public <whatever other class it's inheriting from> {

Q_OBJECT;

}

2 things: 1) Given the age of this trac ticket, I suspect the problem is specific to mythtv-setup. I upgraded my home machine *but did not run mythtv-setup* and have had no problems with BE or FE. 2) I wonder if perhaps this might be triggered in some way by the non-existence of tuner hardware. I updated my office (test)setup to 18425 yesterday, but I have no tuners in the box. Mythtv-setup did not like that...then it failed when attempting to download lineups. This attempted setup is using a copy of the home machine mythconverg database (which of course, has tuners in it).

(In [18447]) Closes #5616

• Fixes QProcess parent thread issue.
• Fixes deadlock (probably seen most often by people without XMLTV installed or when editing/adding a source more than once).

(In [18806]) References #5616

Fix a bug I didn't actually fix in [18447].

• Fixes QProcess parent thread issue.

My last attempt didn't actually fix the "parent in a different thread" issue and didn't fix the "QProcess is thread-safe" assumption.

I am not sure if I should open a new ticket for this (3 years old), I apologize in advance. Same problem with trunk v0.25-rc-111-gc7a1e81 when opening the metadata setup screen. No way to get out of the screen after selecting it. Could it be that it has something to do that I do not have mythgame installed?
