[mythtv-users] More on the ReadStringList timeout issue

[Andrew Dodd]

I added some code that would print when ReadStringList was started, and in
addition print out the actual number for elapsed that triggered the timeout in
ReadStringList in libs/libmyth/util.cpp

I'm also recording the time that the timer was started and printing it, and when
it times out, printing the time that the function was started.

Here's the following log:

---------------
So for some reason, the timer is now thinking that I'm a few milliseconds short
of one day in the future...  Despite the fact that less than a second has passed.

WEIRD.

Anyone know what could be causing this???

I added the following code in the loop that checks for timeouts:

----
if(elapsed > 43200000)
{
  VERBOSE(VB_GENERAL,"Elapsed > 12h? I think not!");
  elapsed = 0;
  timer.restart();
}

It's a quick and ugly hack, but it works for now.
