The backtrace shows a sigabort, not a segfault so it's not clear cut.

I'm reasonably confident that the correlation with the Channel Priorities screen is pure coincidence. What we appear to have here is UI code being used outside the UI thread, from the use of LoadAnimatedImages?() I'm guessing it's mythweather. Whatever it is, it has no business calling that code in a background thread, the redraw code is not thread safe as it's not designed to be accessed in multiple threads.

Oops, this has nothing to do with MythWeather?. Re-assigning to Chris Pinkham since this seems to be an issue with locking in the threaded image loading.

Resolution: fixed
Status: assignedclosed

Fix a crash caused by background animated image loading.

The background animated image loader was calling SetImages?() which triggers non thread-safe routines in MythUI. Instead of calling SetImages?() in the background thread, return the image QVector in the ImageLoadEvent? and set the images and delays in the UI thread similar to how we set non-animated images.

Fixes #9388.

NOTE: This changes the binary API, so make clean, etc., whatever you normally do.
