Mythfrontend lost yesterday connection to master backend.<br>
<br>
I was watching a recording and on the end of the recording mythfronend<br>
was hanging. I just saw a black screen. Afetr restarting frontend was<br>
not able to connect to master backend. This is the log before the<br>
moment when I "killed" mythfrontend:<br>

Restarting mythfrontend did not help. Restarting master backend<br>
(frontend again after that) resolved the problem.<br>
