[mythtv-users] mythbackend in La-La land

[James Pifer]

I'm still having problems with mythbackend going into la-la land. I was
running CVS version from a few days before .15 release. I upgraded it to
the released .15 version to see if that would resolve the issue. 

It was supposed to record a show at 9 on one channel. Then a show at 10
on another, and lastly a third show at 11, also on another channel. 

It got through the first show, but crapped out half way through the
second show. If I try to go to mythweb the pages do not load completely.
Everything else on the machine seems fine, Samba, Webmin, SSH. Not sure
how to tell exactly, but it seems like the backend is not doing an
anything. 

There's nothing in messages to indicate a problem. mythbackend doesn't
really show much either, see below. If I restart mythbackend all seems
fine again. Any suggestions? Is there a debug mode that I should run
mythbackend in?

Thanks,
James
