[mythtv-users] Mythfrontend Hangs, 'Waited 2 seconds...'

[Ben Stragnell]

I am experiencing exactly the same problem - both with version 0.12 (Gentoo ebuild install) and a build from CVS last night. It seems fairly random - I just fire up mythfrontend, go to Live TV, and leave it. It sometimes runs for an hour or two, but sooner or later the picture freezes, and it stops responding to keypresses. Mythbackend continues to run ok, and restarting mythfrontend works fine.

Asus Pundit, P4 2.4GHz, 512MB (snd-intel8x0 audio driver, SiS 651 video driver)
Hauppage WinTV-Go (bttv v4l driver)
Gentoo, 2.4.22 kernel
Mysql 4.0.14-r2
Qt 3.1.2-r4
XFree 4.3.0-r3
Lirc 0.6.6-r1

Currently running under gdb... of course now that I want it to freeze it won't :(

  my mythfrontend is crashing all the time.  sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes an hour and a half, but that's abotu the longest it will go.  i'm trying to enable GBD so that i can get you backtraces,  but the makefiles are giving me a hard time (installed from thac's RPMs originally).  it just craps out saying 'waited 2 seconds for data to become available, waiting again...'  Mythbackend is still going, ivtv is still going.  restarting mythfrontend causes the cycel to begin again.  i just ran front and back with --verbose all, here it is...
