[mythtv-users] mythmetadatalookup locks up occasionally

Hello!

My trunk has started a weird behavior lately.

Sometimes mythmetadatalookup locks up, without writing anything to the log file.

When I got home from work I found the system idle with mythwelcome showing "Running or pending jobs" a ps showed two mythmetadatalookup processes running, started last night (unfortunately I did not copy the complete command lines, I just remembered the PIDs 3314 3315. And that it was an episode of 2 ½ men.

I saw no log files for these processes.

So, I killed 3314 and 3315

But looking in the file I see (showing only the last lines)

2012-01-19 20:00:03.759638 I [3315/3347] MetadataDownload metadatadownload.cpp:222 (runGrabber) - Running Grabber: /usr/local/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/ttvdb.py -l sv -N 72227 Don't Worry, Speed Racer

2012-01-20 06:21:28.026475 I [3315/3346] Socket mythcorecontext.cpp:1023 (readyRead) - Received remote 'Clear Cache' request

The log doesn't seem to indicate what the problem might be, so:


1.       Can I somehow increase logging?

2.       Does someone have any idea on what might be going on here?

3.       Would it be possible to implement some sort of timeout on metadatalookup, to have it retry later?
