Sorry I don't have a solution, but I have this exact same problem. The backend process is still running, but the frontend can't watch live tv, can't browse recordings, can't browse upcoming shows, etc. At this point all I can do is to restart the backend. I was going to upgrade to 0.18 to see if that fixed it so I'm discouraged to hear you have the same problem w/0.18. This would happen at least once a day, occasionally it would not happen for a couple of days. It's been happening since I installed myth about 3 weeks ago.
Are you using a remote front end? I've had my remote frontend up only for the past 2 days, but so far it hasn't hung the backend yet, using the remote front-end exclusively. I'll have to run it a bit longer to see if thats a fluke or not. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to debug this problem if it persists?
