Frequent mythbackend crashed with EIT enabled

Reported by: riku.voipio@… Owned by: Stuart Auchterlonie
Priority: minor Milestone: 0.19
Component: mythtv Version: 0.19
Severity: medium Keywords: eit
Cc: riku.voipio@… Ticket locked: no

Description

after updating to 0.19, mythbackend has been crashing almost every other recording. I've started to run mythbackend in gdb to catch the segfaults/glibc reporting double frees, os I have a pile of backtraces now.

I tried disabling EIT parsing, and mythtv got quite stable. Also, changing channels with DVB EIT parsing off is much faster.

Uh smack me hard. 2, 3 and 4 are the same crash. I'd delete them if I could..

Can people experiencing problems with 0.19 crashing on them please try the patch event-locking-0.19.diff that I've attached to this ticket.

To apply it, you'll need to be in your mythtv build dir and apply as follows 

patch -p1 < event-locking-0.19.diff

Any other problems, drop into #mythtv-users on irc.freenode.net

I pulled latest svn from 0.19-fixes branch, and applied your patch, but it does not really seem to improve backend stability :-|

Also I see glibc memory error detections, I guess I should provide valgrind output as well?

Please test eit with the svn-head branch.

EIT is undergoing a complete rewrite.
