0.28 Mythfrontend crashes on exit...and continously restarts
Just installed 0.28 on ubuntu 16.10
after existing normally, I get a crash error 139 and mythfrontend restarts
btw. how do you prevent mythfrontend automatically restarting after a crash (or kill)? Presently I have to restart my computer to kill mythfrontend: killing the process just causes a restart!

Re: 0.28 Mythfrontend crashes on exit...and continously rest
It's the way your distro is setup to restart the frontend not MythTV doing it by itself. It should be a little smarter and only try to restart if the error wasn't an unrecoverable error like the DB has gone AWOL.
You can turn the behavior off in the Mythbuntu Control Center there's an option under Behavior IIRC.

Hello all,
I don't understand this solution. I don't see any options (other than start frontend on boot) under behavior.
Is it because I installed mythtv in accordance withhttps://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Installing_MythTV_on_Ubuntu?

I had this happen to me also.
To get it to stop crashing, you can open a terminal and kill -9 on the mythfrontend pids.
The fix I found was to upgrade to the most current release.

upgrade to the latest release by the myth group solved it for me (the kill -9 did not work for me)
before that I edited the properties of the mythfrontend launcher so that it would not start as a service

Hello 2017, say hi to v0.28 for me. This is 2021 calling. Version 31 still has that same stupid bug.
"The front-end crashed unexpectedly (exit code 141) and is restarting. Please wait... " in a constant stream. About two a second.

Re: 0.28 Mythfrontend crashes on exit...and continously restarts
Are you sure it was exit code 141? If that is a MythTV exit code it is
What was you doing to cause that?
To be clear MythTV will NEVER automatically restart itself it is your distro that is doing that.
Code: Select all
#define GENERIC_EXIT_TIMEOUT 141 ///< Process timed out

With more recent versions, one option is to use Mythbuntu Control Panel. See https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Mythbuntu_C ... p_Behavior .btw. how do you prevent mythfrontend automatically restarting after a crash (or kill)?

Also related to this is this commit to prevent the frontend from resurrecting when the database is inaccessible which often causes this problem.
https://github.com/MythTV/packaging/commit/bc160d097b
I know it's in both fixes/31 and master but not in older versions.
This wont prevent exitcode 141 from restarting the frontend though no idea how that can happen
