[mythtv-users] RE: [Xmltv-users] Figured out problem with tv_grab_na and long listings

[David A. Mason]

What's more, this seems to happen during the "double checking channel
information" stage of the game.

As an experiment, I tried reconfiguring for the local basic cable (with
considerably fewer channels) and it went right through.

Any insight, anybody?

I've noticed that's what actually happening is that tv_grab_na segfaults. Is
that what was going on, and was fixed for you by the below changes?

BTW, I've tried saying "yes" to both settings removal prompts when running
mythtv's backend setup program, and the problem remains...

So, would anyone be interested in a core file or two from tv_grab_na
segfaults?
