I have a genuine need to run multiple frontend processes on my computer. This worked find under 0.21, but since upgrading to 0.22 i cannot do this. I suspect this bug fix is what is preventing me from doing it. Is there a way to override this restriction?
-- multiple instances on one box undesirable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/352077 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is subscribed to Mythbuntu. Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Fix Released Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: MythTV does not restrict the number of instances of mythfrontend which can run simultaneously on the same box. There is no particular reason why one box should run multiple instances simultaneously and this can inadvertently lead to symptoms like the sound disappearing and performance degradation. The script or binary which mythfrontend runs should first check to see if the process already exists and refuse to continue if it does. Version installed: 0.21.0+fixes18722-0ubuntu1 OS Description: Ubuntu 8.10 (Release: 8.10) Because MythTV is typically installed on a desktop OS, it is possible for users to inadvertently trigger multiple instances; some report this happening because of scripts associated with remote buttons. Rather than fix button scripts, the process should monitor itself -- unless there's some reason why it would be desirable for a single box to run multiple instances of the frontend. Again, I'm not talking about preventing multiple frontends running on multiple boxes, just limiting each box to one instance each of the frontend. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs Post to : mythbuntu-bugs@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
