After upgrading from 90fb1a7 to e763b85 hdpvr crashes mythbackend

[yiannividalis@…]

Trying either live tv or programming a recording through the hdpvr, mythbackend crashes and the message on the frontend is "Error opening switch program buffer".

Reverting to 90fb1a7 corrects it.

PCI cards (Analog tv or dvb-T) are not affected.

I am back at 90fb1a7 for now since the kids have taken over the tv so, if I should provide any logs it will have to wait until Monday.

Please attach a backtrace for the backend and a mythbackend -v record log.

I am also seeing a crash in this commit range. I noticed mine while trying to watch a show on the frontend, so it may be different, but I am going to assume it is the same, and put the info on this ticket.

I have narrowed down the commit that caused the crash to:

commit fc0761d3bda39d4c68db0e22d045d1394002bc97

    Remove asserts in MPEG descriptor constructors. Replace with IsValid() method that can be called after construction.

    Converts MPEGDescriptor::DescriptorTagString() to use table instead of a long switch statement.

    DescriptorID class cleanup

We need to add a Parse() call to the CaptionServiceDescriptor constructor. Something like

if (_data && !Parse())

_data = NULL;

This is a systematic error in [fc0761d3b], so I'll need to fix a few constructors.

Fixes #10100. Fix regression caused by [fc0761d3b].

Cut-n-paste error + a thinko. The cut-n-paste caused it to pass my testing, despite the Probe() bogosity.
