This weekend I saw my first major problem with my MythTV setup in over six
months. One of the frontends lost the connection to the back end. I logged
on to the backend machine and restarted the backend process. But the
frontends still couldn't connect. The backend log didn't show any
problems. The backend was running. I tried stopping/restarting mysql and
mythbackend many times and restarted the backend computer but the frontends
still couldn't connect. Eventually I reset (unplugged & plugged back in) my
two HDhomeruns. Once I did that and restarted mythbackend the frontends
were able to connect and everything was rosy.
I assume one of the HDhomeruns was locked up and not responding correctly
and that was causing the backend to not respond. This looks like a minor
problem. But it was very difficult to diagnose because the backend log
didn't say anything bad and mythbackend kept running.
