<p class=MsoNormal>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Everything has been purring along with minimal issues for a
month or so. Then I added a 2<sup>nd</sup> frontend and changed my backend’s
hostname. Ever since, I have had a problem with mythbackend dying at what seems
to be random times. One would think this might be related to changing my
hostname, but everything seems to run fine up to the point where the service
dies. I’m not seeing anything that looks greatly alarming in the logs at
the time of the failure. This has happened about 5 times in the past week. The
only common thing I see currently is that they were both working with my PVR150
card connected to DirecTV via s-video at the time when it died. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Has anyone seen this before? It sure is annoying to miss
show recordings due to the service being dead. Any suggestions where to look
for the problem? I kind of expected a fatal error to at least put something in
the log file. Pasted below are some snippets of log files for two of the times
this has happened. Note the big time gap on each one. That is when the service
died in both instances.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks in advance for any help you all can provide.<o:p></o:p></p>
