[mythtv-users] .24 hanging in MythVideo

Hi Everyone!

I just finally got around to getting my storage stuff temporarily setup, and
now that I have some videos on the network, I decided to install mythvideo
and give that a try.  Everything worked great last night and this morning.
I was watching videos on my laptop (remote FE only box), and that was
working fine.  I went to use the download metadata feature, and it was
working fine for a while, and then the frontend locked up on the videos
screen.  I killed it and launched it again, and was greeted with "video
dialog loading, or no videos available..."  It hung there for probably two
minutes, and then loaded the videos screen.  At this point, anything I do,
even using the arrow keys between files causes it to lock up for a minute or
two.  I remoted into my backend (using No-Machine's FreeNX server/client),
and same deal locally on the frontend I have installed there.

My setup is a bit odd, but it hasn't had any problems up until now, so I
don't think it's any of the storage configuration.  The backend is running
as a virtual machine on a PowerEdge 2650.  The storage is served via CIFS
and all permissions are correct (it is mounted on the MBE and this frontend,
and I am using it in storage groups).  My SBE, which also has my tuner, has
been off for a while as I was having tuning issues with it (shows would fail
to tune, or as the time-slots changed I would get a tuner error and it would
fail.  I attribute that to my misconfigured directv.pl script.

Here's some errors from the logs:
