When this happens the following messages appear in the backend log: 2011-03-30 20:00:20.502 MythCoreContext: Connecting to backend server: 10.75.22.2:6543 (try 1 of 5) 2011-03-30 20:00:20.553 MythCoreContext: Connecting to backend server: 10.75.22.2:6543 (try 1 of 5) 2011-03-30 20:00:27.503 MythSocket(9c167a8:11): readStringList: Error, timed out after 7000 ms. 2011-03-30 20:00:27.504 Protocol version check failure. The response to MYTH_PROTO_VERSION was empty. This happens when the backend is too busy to respond, or has deadlocked in due to bugs or hardware failure. 2011-03-30 20:00:27.554 MythSocket(9c16ba0:12): readStringList: Error, timed out after 7000 ms. and these repeat on and on and the situation can only be resolved by a backend restart, which annoying in the least means interrupted recordings if some where ongoing or as I mentioned recordings not even starting. I realize this is not much to go on yet. The next time I see this (and I could probably pretty safely hold my breath waiting, so it likely won't be long) I will get a threaded backtrace of the backend and attach it to this bug along with a log snippit.",Bug Report - Hang/Deadlock,closed,minor,,MythTV - General,0.24-fixes,medium,Fixed,,,1
