[mythtv-users] Mythweb still causes mythbackend to sometimes go to 100% CPU

[Adam Felson]

About 18 months ago, there was a problem with mythweb previews 
causing mythbackend to get in a situation where cpu usage go to 100% and stays 
there until killed.

For a while, there was a mythweb script I'd hack to disable previews in order 
to keep mythbackend from going to 100%.

I think it was about a year ago that it was mostly fixed.  I only say mostly 
fixed because mythbackend still occasionally goes to 100%.  It seems like it 
is still mythweb that causes it to happen.  When playback gets choppy, I 
check the system and discover mythbackend at 100%;  it seems to happen about 
every 4-6 weeks.

Is anybody else still seeing this?  Any workarounds other than running top and 
killing mythbackend?
