Hi,
I'm having a problem where mythvideo hangs when selecting any of the 4
entry options (browse videos, video list, video gallery, video manager),
when mythfrontend is started via irexec (I have it mapped to the "power"
button in my remote).
By "hangs", I mean unresponsive to the extent that I have to kill
mythfrontend. The 4-item menu remains on the screen. Meanwhile
mythfrontend consumes a fair amount of CPU (20-30%).
When I run mythfrontend from the terminal, mythvideo works fine.
In both cases, mythfrontend is running under the same user (mythtv). The
frontend & backend logs report nothing unusual (with -v all) and ditto
for the mysql log.
Any ideas?
Another unrelated issue: mythvideo takes an eternity to start up. Any
reason why?
mythfrontend --version
