Linux XBMC losing backend connection after prolonged suspend
#1
I'm running MythTV 0.25.3 on Mythbuntu 12.04.

My remote frontend is Openelec generic on a Mac mini. I'm using the Pulse Eight CEC adapter. It is set to put my mini to suspend when I power off the TV.

I am noticing that after prolonged suspends I can't watch TV or recordings, I am not getting any connection errors. I notice this when I turn on the TV in the morning after it has been sleeping all night, and when I come home from work after sleeping all day.

A reboot fixes it. I've had it sleep for a couple hours and reconnect fine, it's the 8+ hours that seem to mess it up.

I googled and didn't see this reported by MythTV or XBMC users. I'll post my log uploads after work, but is anyone else running into this?

Here is my xbmc.old log which likely has the info of not being able to connect: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=2715

Here is after the reboot: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=2714

Same issue as http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=155544

Problem is that XBMC Frodo does not inform the addon that it will suspend, so we cannot properly close the backend connection.

I've added that functionality and the code was pulled into xbmc master today.

The next nightly builds of xbmc should have it, given that you're using a nightly addon build as well.
It's XBMC13 material, so for openelec, you'll probably have to wait.
