You should have a look at my patch in ticket 2434:
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/2434
I don't know if it will help, but it certainly fixes hangs in 'watch
recordings' while FF/REWding. I think that the LiveTV issue may be a
different one (I've seen hangs even with this patch applied), but it's
certainly worth giving it a go.
Looking at your logs, it looks likely that the cause is similar to that
in 2434, so with a bit of effort it might be possible to extend the
patch to address that.
I'll try and look at if I get time, although I'm really waiting on some
feedback from the devs that know this code better (but not heard
anything back so far :(...)
Let me know how it goes.
Matt.
