[mythtv-users] AFD Errors, mythbackend doesn't respond anymore

[Steve Malenfant]

This is the 3rd show in a week that I'm getting this problem on NBC. 
Shows works fine in VLC, but mythbackend will not recover and
mythfrontend would not display the video (and hang).  There is tons of
the AFD error in the log, I had to restart my mythbackend to recover.

I can send to a developper the stream I'm using to help...  Anything,
but this has been a problem lately.

Is there a way where mythbackend would spawn an other task to make the
preview image so it wouldn't crash or hurt the backend?
