[mythtv-users] Remote encoder not responding and WriteStringList:
Bad socket

Hi,
I've been stumped for the last several hours and haven't had luck with Google
or the archives.
I had my myth working amazingly well for about 30 minutes until I got curious
and clicked "System Status" in the menus. This caused myth to crash and ever
since I've been unable get my myth working again. :-(
I'm using MythTV 0.18 on Fedora Core 3 from Jarod's guide. I have a PVR-350
with TV-out and two PVR-250s for more recording. Everything is running on
just one machine. It has a wireless NIC for accessing channel information
(which is at wlan0, not eth0). I previously had BackendServerIP and
MasterServerIP set to 192.168.2.3, but I've since set them to 127.0.0.1.
This seems to have made no difference.
Anytime I try to Watch TV now from a fresh boot, it works for about a 30
seconds to a minute, but won't respond to the remote (which works perfectly
in the menus). While the video is quite nice overall, I do see brief burst
of thin horizontal lines of static, which I did not see before. After this
time, it will crash back to the menus (sometimes all the way to the terminal
with a Segmentation fault.) If I try to watch LiveTV again, about 90% of the
screen will be covered by a big black box (but I can see perfect video around
the edges) for about the same duration of time. For just a second before it
crashes I see perfect video, then it usually crashes to the terminal with
Segmentation fault.
I receive the same results as a normal user and as root. I receive the same
results when I tell myth to use my pvr-350 tv-out and also when I tell it not
to.
Thinking that I (or my System status crashed) may have fouled up some setting,
I decided to completely wipe out the mythconverg database and rebuild it.
Sadly, that didn't make any difference.
Also, if I cat /dev/video* >> ~/sometest.mpg that seems to play back just fine
for each card.
Finally, I do have lirc_lib installed because some parts of myth depend on it,
but I don't believe I need lirc. My remote uses a different driver based off
the old ati_remote driver. For laughs I have tried installing lirc and
starting it up before mythfrontend, but I've not noticed that make a
difference.
Does anyone have any ideas that I can try? I'm having a real hard time with
this one! Thanks!
Following is the output I receive from mythfrontend:
