I think you are correct about network issues. Looking though the mysql
log's and they are filled with errors like such:
2019-01-08T18:12:32.196916Z 8808 [Note] Aborted connection 8808 to db:
'mythconverg' user: 'mythtv' host: 'localhost' (Unknown error)
2019-01-08T18:12:32.626207Z 8855 [Note] Aborted connection 8855 to db:
'mythconverg' user: 'mythtv' host: '192.168.0.15' (Got an error reading
communication packets)
2019-01-08T18:12:33.792349Z 8858 [Note] Aborted connection 8858 to db:

2019-01-08T18:13:19.080825Z 8857 [Note] Aborted connection 8857 to db:
'mythconverg' user: 'mythtv' host: 'localhost' (Unknown error)
2019-01-08T18:15:59.133402Z 8910 [Note] Got an error reading communication
packets
hmmm....I'll have to test things on the network. Or maybe remake the
server, in preparation of 0.30 release. With mariadb.
Many thanks Peter
