Actually, it might be MythTv Player that causes the problem. Previosly I 
fixed a bug that sounds a bit like this 
(http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/3186). In short, the player 
disconnected from the backend in a way that was not intended. This means 
that the connection is shut down, but the connection is still in the 
list of connections that the backend *thinks* is active. If the backend 
thinks that there is an active frontend (the player), this might cause 
your problem.
I believe that the dsmyth plugins, and maybe other unofficial programs, 
have the same problem.

Could you verify if MythTv Player is the cause of the problems? If the 
player have the problem I would like to correct it.
(Another way is to correct the code in the backend)
