[mythtv-users] hangups/slowdowns after upgrade to Ubuntu 18.04/mythtv 29

[Paul Archer]

My backend system recently died, and as part of the replacement, I decided
to upgrade from Ubuntu 16.04 and mythtv 0.28 to Ubuntu 18.04 and mythtv 29.
Since then I've had several issues. I ironed most of them out, but two
linger:
1) The time between starting playback of a recording and that recording
actually playing (when it says "Please Wait") is about 8 seconds. It used
to be about 2 or so.
2) When exiting the "Watch Recordings" screen, the frontend will hang for
about two minutes or so, sometimes longer (it has taken over 5 minutes, at
which time the WAF got so low I had to restart the frontend rather than
wait it out).

I've enabled debug-level logging on the front end, but I get literally
nothing while it waits. I've checked the backend logs as well, but I've
seen nothing useful there. I've done some searches in the mailing list
archive, but haven't come up with anything there either.

Any ideas? Logs to look at, settings to check?

Thanks,

Paul
