 I'm occasionally hitting this bug when scrolling through the recordings
 list. The UI freezes, after a timeout the message appears saying that the
 backend has gone away (it hasn't) and then it segfaults.

 Frontend Log:

 Backtrace:

 The timeout is way too long and I'm not certain if we are trying again
 during period or just waiting for a response to the first attempt. So
 there are about three seperate bugs here:

 1. Sending an invalid string list - could be network packet loss though
 2. Spending too long waiting and failing to retry?
 3. The segfault.
