Comment (by deadletterfile@…):

 Submitted libmythtv.160508.v0.28.patch for those that might wish to
 experiment. I have run this patch for four days and casual inspection has
 shown no title/description mismatches (though the patch is in no way a
 fix). I removed the "return NULL" (comment #53) which was in previous
 patches as mythbackend was crashing. This change should reduce/eliminate
 mythbackend race conditions this may have caused. The original intent was
 to keep the eitscanner running. In older versions of Mythtv, the scanner
 would crash and not be restarted during long periods of no user
 interaction.

 The only additional observation is from v0.27.6: On two occasions, a three
 hour block of ETT data would be duplicated, and prematurely advanced. As
 an example, EIT/ETT data for 09-12 UTC would be matched and correct, then
 the ETT description data would be improperly advanced/duplicated and
 appear in both the 06-09 UTC and 09-12 UTC Program Guide time slots for a
 short time.

 To patch Mythtv v0.28 on GNU/Linux, place the patch in mythtv/libs and
 execute:

   patch -Np0 < libmythtv.160508.v0.28.patch
