Bug #1128
TVHeadend Crash While Recording

Description
Guys -
No real context information, since I was away at the time and I've just come home to find that nothing recorded during the week. A peer at the box showed tvheadend wasn't running (should it try to restart, btw?) and the following in one of the archived syslog files:

You can see that it was trying to record two things from two different tuners at the same time, both died in unison. I have no idea what might have precipitated it - maybe my wife switching on the second PC (which also connects to this backend), maybe something utterly unrelated...
Version is reporting as 2.12 from the web page and from dpkg -l, but I'm guessing that it's actually 2.99-9~oneiric from https://launchpad.net/~pulse-eight/+ppa-packages, since I have Dushmaniac/Pulse8's binaries installed.
Thought I'd report it here in case that means anything to Adam or one of the team!

Can you confirm what version you're running, there should be an about box on the UI which gives a version string.
No particular idea why this should crash, if this is not using master and pre 3.0 should be very stable.
Without a proper trace of the dump, its going to be difficult to invesigate. But I'll leave open for now.
As for process restart, maybe, but probably not. If you want that sort of thing I'd recommend looking at something like monit. I use that a lot for some work stuff, I must admit I'm not a "massive" fan (we've had some troubles over the years) but its not bad.

Updated by Yeah, thought it smelled a bit of a random event - if it happens again, I'll try running it in gdb or however I can get better logs, but I thought I'd mention it simply because I know you've been cleaning up so many of the old "not sure if it's there, please re-report if it's still there" bugs.
The web tab reports HTS Tvheadend 2.12 - but I'm confused now, since this was a clean build only a week or so ago and I only ever added things in from the Pulse8 repositories. But 2.12 hts-tvheadend it is (and not tvheadend) - maybe that's the underlying issue, wrong version??

On the presumption that it is an ancient version, I've switched to HTS Tvheadend 2.99.53.4502158 (2.99-9~oneiric - which is what I thought I was running!). If I'm not on the right version, please feel free to close this one as a bloodware issue...

Rejecting on the basis this was being run on 2.12 which is no longer actively supported.
Thanks.
