[mythtv-users] Mythfrontend (mythvideo) .25 crashes and timeouts

[Phill Wiggin]

Yes, I'm aware I'm using development code. The response is appreciated, the
attitude is not.

I'm perfectly willing to accept that the code isn't stable/complete, I was
merely trying to determine whether it was a Myth issue or a problem
external to Myth.

For the record, I'm running Gentoo, pulling a MythTV overlay. The output of
mythfrontend --version is:
