<div dir="ltr">I didn't find anything in trac that really looked like the same problem I'm having. Some recordings will crash the frontend suddenly and there will not be any errors in the log file. Sometimes it's reproducible and sometimes it's not, meaning, some recordings will cause the frontend to crash in the same place over and over and some will crash it once but not the next time.<br>
<br>Anyone else have this problem?<br><br>My current workaround, if you can call it that, is to run gdm-restart from a terminal. I have it programmed to my remote but have yet to get it to work. I've actually got the command in a bash script, mythrestart.sh which I call using irexec. My problem is that even though my myth startup script run irexec, it does not work, but if I open a terminal (tested over ssh right now) and run irexec &, it works. I have verified that my startup script sucessfuly loads irexec using ps | grep irexec. I did not kill the first one before starting the second irexec from a termnal so I actually have it running twice...<br>
<br>The only difference I can think of is that the second one is run from a terminal and the first one is part of a startup script, but should it matter? I'll post my startup script at the bottom but I can't see anything wrong with it.<br>
