Thank you again for looking into this.  I think there must have been an
issue with the mythfilldatase job not completing successfully related to
some tinkering I was doing while trying to upgrade Xmltv to the latest
version.  Perhaps it was trying to execute the job over and over until i
fixed it and ran it manually.

I actually have started to make progress in determining the cause related
to LiveTV dropping.  I noticed this sequence appears in journalctl each
time mythfilldatabase finishes execution.

Mar 11 12:01:32 mint-box mythbackend[1767]: mythbackend[1767]: I Scheduler
mythdbcon.cpp:260 (Reconnect) MySQL reconnected successfully
Mar 11 12:01:32 mint-box mythbackend[1767]: mythbackend[1767]: I Scheduler
scheduler.cpp:2309 (HandleReschedule) Reschedule requested for MATCH 0 0 0
- MythFillDatabase
Mar 11 12:01:32 mint-box mythbackend[1767]: mythbackend[1767]: I Scheduler
mythdbcon.cpp:260 (Reconnect) MySQL reconnected successfully
Mar 11 12:01:32 mint-box mythbackend[1767]: mythbackend[1767]: I
MythSocketThread(91) mainserver.cpp:7859 (connectionClosed) Playback
sock(561c6439e2e0) 'mint-box' disconnected

To troubleshoot, I temporarily patched mythbackend to prevent it from
running  'Reschedule requested for MATCH 0 0 0' via an if statement that
skips the rest of the Match sequence if recordid & sourceid are 0 starting
around line 2324 of scheduler.cpp.

With these changes, LiveTV doesn't drop on my frontends when
mythfilldatabase finishes!

Who would be the best person to help me further track down what is going on
here?

Thanks,
Tim
