Comment 27 for bug 190291

Hi,

tested release 0.5.20 and unfortuately the threading issue is still there. As noted before, Me TV works for me like a charm even if I alter the application.cc file like this:
 if (!g_thread_supported ())
 {
  //g_thread_init (NULL);
 }
      // gdk_threads_init();
      // gnet_init();
      // GDK_LOCK;

Really, watching and recording TV, EPG, etc., everything works _with_ threading. At the moment I do not know why. (see attached screencast)

Let's put this issue in the background for a while. I build a rpm which is about to be released into the wild soon. If others confirm that they experience the same threading issues, like those happening on my machine, I could alter the rpm with above changes and see if that is solving the problem for them, too. After all, the xine-vfs plugin triggers some magic in the whole glib/gtk/gnome stack.

For the next few days, I'll just *use* Me TV with these changes to the source code, so I can come up with ideas for blueprints what features would be cool to have in Me TV.

Cheers,
Matthias
