Comment (by gronslet@…):

 Hi, I also have this issue - getting
 {{{
 E  MythSocket(1676920:36): readStringList: Error, timed out after 7000 ms.
 }}}

 from mythfrontend.

 My setup:
 CentOS 6.2
 Various kernels (eg. kernel-2.6.32-220.23.1.el6.centos.plus.x86_64 and
 patched vanilla 3.4.4)
 MythTV fixes/0.25 compiled from git (2012-07-13), and prebuild binaries
 (0.25-6.el6.x86_64).
 I am running a combined FE/BE (frontend/backend).

 I was not able to get mythfrontend talk to the backend before I did the
 workaround suggested in earlier comments, ie.

 {{{
 # wget http://dl.atrpms.net/all/qtwebkit-2.0-3.el6.x86_64.rpm
 # wget http://dl.atrpms.net/all/qtwebkit-devel-2.0-3.el6.x86_64.rpm
 # yum downgrade qtwebkit-2.0-3.el6.x86_64.rpm qtwebkit-
 devel-2.0-3.el6.x86_64.rpm
 }}}

 However, I ran into the problem again after restarting some services
 and/or mythfrontend/backend. So it seems it is not a permanent solution.

 Big thanks for having this bugtracker - I have spent numerous of hours on
 this, and this bug report certainly saved me some time. :)
