[mythtv] commit cb1e2844 (Cause backend to terminate if requested IP address is unavailable) hangs BE

[Graham Chapman]

I have had the same issue when upgrading to 0.26.

My backend also doesn't have IPv6 enabled. The BackendServerIP6 entry is
greyed out in mythtv-setup, but shown as ::1 and was present in the
database. It looks to have been added recently, either as a result of the
0.25 or 0.26 upgrade.

I must agree the error message (or lack of is very confusing), no
indication of the problem, and the backend does not exit as the
housekeeping thread is still running.

The workaround, I can confirm, is going into mysql and removing the
BackendServerIP6 entry from the settings table, which then allow the
backend to start and function correctly.

Hope this helps someone.

Regards
Graham
