Hi all,

Hope its ok for me to get help with this here, the tvheadend forums seem pretty quiet. I've been using XBMC and tvheadend for about 6 months and until a few days ago it was all working fine. On startup tvheadend now crashes totally, the errors output I've pasted below.

I have recently updated my box, as shown its running tvheadend from opdenkamp built this morning (git 8f76d0c). Not sure if its relevant but I have glibc 2.14.1 installed (just because it mentions libc in the crash).

Would greatly appreciate any help with this!

Edit:
Just to let anyone know who's having similar problems, if i remove epgdb from the .hts userdata folder it is able to start up fine. There seems to be an issue with tvheadend and the data supplied by tv_grab_dvb_plus, using EIT data works fine.

Just to confirm this behaviour - I updated my system tonight and everything resolutely refused to work. Starting tvheadend from the command line, it would appear in the process list and then vanish shortly after... I saw the same behaviour restarting it as a service. However, removing ~/.hts/tvheadend/epgdata and I could restart the service, and then re-enable the PVR client in XBMC.

From /var/log/syslog:

I'll go and see if I can raise a ticket on PulseEight or Lonely Coder...

-----

EDIT: Seems to be similar to https://www.lonelycoder.com/redmine/issues/996

New bug report for a more specific tvheadend version (2.12.99~pulse-6) filed here: https://www.lonelycoder.com/redmine/issues/1019

Looks like it's resolved now - no explicit bugfix, but it appears to be no longer apparent in 2.99-7~lucid/2.99.37.1332f9f.
