It's failing while trying to lookup the translation for 'minutes' in the 
QObject context but I don't see anything obviously wrong with the 
mythfrontend.fi.ts file and 'linguist' loads it with no problems and 
that string is there and looks OK to me.

It could just be a bad checkout of the  mythfrontend.fi.qm file. Try 
deleting it and the do  a 'svn update' to get the latest from the fixes 
branch or if you want to stick with the same revision do a 'svn update 
-r17013'.

If that doesn't work then you could try to regenerate the translation 
files yourself, it only takes a minute or so to do.

- change to the mythtv/i18n/ directory.
- run 'lupdate translate.pro' (that scans the source files for 
translated strings and creates/updates the *.ts files).
- run 'lrelease translate.pro' (that scans the *.ts files and creates 
the *.qm files, it's one of these files that the frontend loads when it 
starts up to do the translations).
- run 'make install'

If that fixes things then let us know as it probably means the qm file 
in svn has somehow got corrupted and needs to be recreated.
