[mythtv] [mythtv-commits] Ticket #4515: Frontend unknown error, exiting decoder, livetv stuck on bad channel

Daniel, I have also see a few cases where the frontend will abort while the
backend happily keeps recording LiveTV. It can be recovered easily enough
without restarting the backend by deleting the LiveTV recording. However,
for some reason mythwelcome won't fully start (hangs on querying the
backend) which leads me to believe there's still a stuck thread in the
backend somewhere.

Hope that helps.

- Mark.
