This may take someone more experieced but that last one looks like a
good indication that your ringbuffer isn't being opened by the
frontend which is where you get the live TV stream from at the
frontend.  Saying it can't bind the port means someone else is using
it, do you have multiple instances of the frontend opened?  Or maybe a
crashed frontend never released it?
