[HANG] Deadlock in backend on starting a new recording?

[mythtv@…]

Not sure about this, but maybe a deadlock in some threads? Sometimes scheduled recordings are not recorded and the frontend goes very slow when this happens. Also the recordings screen on the frontend is empty until I restart the backend. I waited about 15-20 minutes here before I restarted.

As you can see, the "Changing from None to RecordingOnly" line never showed up.

Any debug-level flags you want me to enable until next time it happens? I've had "important,general" until now, but added "record,channel".

Please attach the version of mythbackend you are running (mythbackend --version)

Seems to be EIT related. Possibly a dupe of #9261

I used v0.24-158-g48d554e-dirty the last time this happened. This time is v0.24-177-g316718a-dirty as per the attached version_info.

And some other info from the backend server, I use separate frontend/backend system.

Got some more logs now with more verbose flags.

Happened again yesterday while watching LiveTV and a recording was about to start. LiveTV show froze and the recording did not start so I restarted backend so the recording could start as seen around 2011-02-18 22:02 in the log.

Still on v0.24-177-g316718a-dirty

This should at least get looked at once before 0.25 is out

Unfortunately i'm not going to get a chance to look at it.

The problem here appears to be the mysql server going out to lunch.
