[Solved] searching TV listings never stops

Post by linus »

I have had a properly functioning mythtv setup for a number of years, but recently I noticed that if I try to search the TV listings using mythfrontend (schedule recordings --> search words --> anything) then the search never ends. I do get some results in the background, but in the front is a box that says "Loading" and has a circular progress meter. The loading box never goes away. The only way I can get out of the loop is to use "Ctrl-C" to kill the mythfrontend process.

I'm running Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS and mythfrontend fixes/32 [v32.0+fixes.20220325.f69ce764b7-0ubuntu1]

Has anyone run into this problem? Do you have any suggestions for how to fix it or what could be causing it?

Thanks,
Sunil

This is probably fixed on the recent version of MythTV 32, see commit https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv/commit/daa4e7e .
If not already done, install the Mythbuntu PPA for fixes/32 at https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive/ubuntu/32
and update your mythtv installation to the latest fixes/32 version.

Thank you. That seems to have been the problem. Changing themes fixes the problem. I also am not on the latest version (as you pointed out), so I'm upgrading to the latest now.
