Comment (by rcrdnalor):

 I checked the code:
 For cutom types in namespace DTC of Mythtv Services,
 QRegisterMetaType is called by !InitializeCustomTypes() for each type.

 Beside the types in namespace DTC and the C standard types,
 only these QT types are used in Mythtv Services:
 {{{
 QString
 QStringList
 QFileInfo
 }}}
 Running a quick test on a freschly booted backend with services
 returning a QString or a QStringList shows, that those types
 are already registered to QMetaTypes:
 {{{
 QString:
 http://BackendServerIP:6544/Content/GetHash?StorageGroup=Default&FileName=3008_20180808105300.ts
 LogFile:
 HttpServer56 servicehost.cpp:85 (Invoke) MethodInfo::Invoke: nRetIndx is
 '10' and type is 'QString'.

 QStringList
 http://BackendServerIP:6544/Content/GetFileList?StorageGroup=Default
 Logfile:
 HttpServer55 servicehost.cpp:85 (Invoke) MethodInfo::Invoke: nRetIndx is
 '11' and type is 'QStringList'.
 }}}


 Therefore I am pretty confident that QFileInfo is the only type for
 Mythtv's Services, which is not registered at startup.
