[mythtv-users] MythMusic Bug, freezes on start sometimes

[Chris Germano]

MythMusic Bug:
I just updated to the current cvs (post .10 release) and I'm still having 
mythmusic lockup after it starts playing (since probably .9). If I restart 
the computer, and fresh start the back and frontend it will work perfectly, 
but usually after I go and play a show or do something in myth and come back 
to mythmusic it will just freeze. Basicaly I hit "Play Music" and the 
background changes, it draws the first half of the top box, and no data 
(playlist) is shown. The visualization is also not there, and it has started 
playing the first track in the playlist. Once the track finishes, it will 
just stop and remain frozen, I cannot even kill the mythfrontend processes! 
The only solution is to start a new frontend or reboot to clear them. There 
is no error on the frontend, as the last comment I see is "Changing from 
None to None" and I am running both end's in verbose mode. If you can figure 
this out that would be awesome, too bad I don't get an error for it so if 
there is anything else I can do let me know. Thanks again for the help,
Chris

Here is the script I use to start myth:
echo "Starting irxevent"
irxevent &

echo "Starting mythbackend"
mythbackend --verbose 2>&1 >> /var/log/myth/backend.log &

sleep 5

echo "Staring mythfrontend"
mythfrontend --verbose 2>&1 >> /var/log/myth/frontend.log
