 This has been a issue for a while in master.

 After a period of use the frontend no longer receives any events from the
 backend. It's as though it loses the event socket connection and doesn't
 try to re-establish it.

 This manifests in the frontend not updating filesizes for in-progress
 recordings; failing to displaying new recordings or changes in recording
 status in the recording list; the guide not updatin to reflect recording
 status after creating a new schedules. i.e. Any update in the frontend
 driven by a backend event fails to occur.

 You can still use the frontend. Exiting and re-entering playbackbox causes
 the recording list to be reloaded but the issue with events isn't resolved
 unless you restart the frontend.
