[mythtv] [BUG?] Threading / Sockets problem with master and slavebackends

Yesterday I had s similar problem on 0.18.1-fixes and FE/BE on the same system.
A recording was finished and at the same second I tried to delete a previously watched recording (pressed delete while watching).
With strace I saw the backend waiting in a select. No hints in the logfiles.

    Hi all,




    Threading problems
    I think there may be problems with Sockets or threads. (See attached bt).
    I can reliably reproduce this problem.
    Setup
    Master Backend / Slave backend both in idle state. This only fails when a live slave backend in idle state is present
    Method:
    Open 2 browsers and request status simultaneously. The thread on the master backend handling status / web crashes, recording continues on both backend will remain in this state until killed. There is never any further response from the status port 6544/6543. (Sometimes it takes a few tries, so it's something to do with collision timing).
    It can also be reproduced when requesting multiple activities via mythweb that take time to process (rescheds, status, deletes), but only ever when slave backend is present.


  I have a similar problem with no slave backend.  If I delete several programs in a row without waiting for a response in mythweb, the backend will crash saying "waiting for a thread".


  Geoff
