A dev who will work in the area where the bug is, is not going to see the bug first. It is triaged by a bug-wrangler and assigned to a dev. Its this triage process which is notoriously bad (at least I have had issues with mostly).<br><br>-devsk<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Paul Harrison <mythtv@dsl.pipex.com><br>To: Discussion about mythtv <mythtv-users@mythtv.org><br>Sent: Wednesday, December 27, 2006 3:04:20 PM<br>Subject: Re: [mythtv-users] **Update - FIXED** mythbackend not responding -and even more weirdness<br><br><div>Mark Knecht wrote:<br>> On 12/27/06, devsk
