<br>
I have reported this problem before, but I have not been able to fix it. I am still trouble shooting and don't really know where to look. I hope somebody can help me with a hint in the right direction.<br>
<br>
The problem is that sporadically, while being in the recorded programs list, or watching a recording, I get a popup message in my frontend: Mythcontext: Backend online. At the same time, the recording causing the problem is marked with the little cross showing that the recording is not available, then the cross dissapears again and the recording is shown as available, and so on... The frontend will also freeze for a couple of minutes when I leave the recording screen in this situation.<br>
<br>
That only indicates that the connection has been lost before and the frontend has reconnected. Looking into the console output of the frontend, I see:<br>
<br>

<br>
(The file mentioned is available) This happens with certain recordings, not all recordings. Last time I noticed, it happened with a recording which had a description with an incorrect encoding: Umlauts were all displayed as weird character sequences, so I thought, that's the reason. I deleted the recording's description with phpmyadmin and the error went away.<br>
<br>
Now I have another recording which causes the problem, but here the encoding of the description is OK, umlauts are displayed correctly. Still I get the above error. (I have other recordings with incorrect encoding which do not cause the error)<br>
<br>
And also here, the problem went away when I deleted the program description. It went away immediately after deleting the description from the database. The description was still shown in the frontend, but the error was gone. Only after restarting the backend, the description was gone in the frontend (and the error continued fixed, for this recording) .<br>
<br>
This problem happens still the day I updated to 0.27.<br>
<br>
What can I do?<br>
<br>
Thanks and best regards,<br>
<br>
Matthias<br>
