[mythtv] Frontend crash, LiveTV hangs....

[Jochen Kühner]

I have a frontend PC wich somtimes crashes. (I think this is not a MythTV 
related Problem, because he also crashes sometimes in other Software). But 
when the PC crashes while i'm watching LiveTV, when I enter mythtv again, it 
sais, that all aviable tuners are used (because i have only one).

Is there no way, so that we can check from within Myth if the connected 
frontend wich has requested livetv is stille alive and in the livetv menu?? 
maybe we do a request every second from the backend to the frontend if the 
frontend is still in livetv menu, and if not or we get no answer within 2 
secons, we cancel the recording....

Only an idea....
