EPG Timeline Crashes XBMC upon selection - User 155361 - 2013-01-30
OS: Ubuntu 12.04 Precise 64 bit
Mythtv version: 0.25 + fixes (from the mythbuntu ppa)
XBMC version: Frodo final (from the xbmc stable ppa)
- MySQL backend for movies/tv
- Transparancy! skin
Steps to reproduce.
MythTV
1. Set up a working MythTV backend with some recordings
2. Remove the Video Sources (guide data) and add a new one with "No Grabber" as a listing source
3. Setup the Input Connection with the new grabber,
4. Exit setup, run mythfilldatabase, and start the backend
XBMC
5. Enable PVR support in Settings->TV->General
6. Turn off LiveTV support
7. Configure the MythTV pvr addon in Settings->Addons->Disabled Addons->PVR Clients->MythTV cmyth PVR Client
8. Enable the PVR client
9. Browse to TV->EPG: TIMELINE
At this point I hit 100% CPU and my memory fills up at about 200mb/s. I have to kill -9 xbmc.
Please note that this only affects Ubuntu 64 bit. I have two 64 bit clients and a 32 bit client (all Ubuntu 12.04) on the same network and the 32 bit one works fine (no crash, an expected blank timeline screen), while the two 64 bit clients freeze at the same point.
I suspect it has something to do with the fact I'm no longer pulling EPG data, but that doesn't explain why it works on 32 bit machines.

You might want to report it here https://github.com/fetzerch/xbmc-pvr-addons/issues

This should be fixed in the development version of the addon.
If you want to test, you can try to build it yourself as explained here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=PVR/Backend/MythTV/BuildFromSource
