Description
Many times (but not always) when I exit the front end, I get a hang and the mythwelcome screen doesn't come up. I have to kill the frontend manually from the command line. I think my situation matches mythtv bug #11194. [[http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/11194]] which was fixed in changeset e1773c2cf7 [[http://code.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/e1773c2cf7bb38dc08ffa3a134602c8b173f6c9d/mythtv]]
I'm not sure if this patch can be applied to the LinHes build or if I should just wait it out until the Linhes frontend version gets upgraded down the road.
I have attached the output from the frontend when a hang occurred.

If you do not use airplay , it can be disabled in /etc/profile.d/LinHES-profile.sh
Set MYTHTV_AIRPLAY=0
Otherwise .27 is in the testing repo, but there are still some minor things we are looking at fixing for 8.1

Changing the environment variable in LinHES-profile.sh doesn't change the behavior. Strangely, the output stays exactly the same. I had already tried to manually set the MYTHTV_AIRPLAY environment variable to 0 in the terminal without success, which I should have mentioned. I also confirmed that it was properly set with echo $MYTHTV_AIRPLAY, which returned 0, before starting the frontend.
I will need to make sure I have a clean upgrade path to 0.27 for my other 3 frontends, before I can switch to testing. I run one on mint debian, one on LinHES 7.4 and one on mythbuntu for a variety of historical and practical reasons.
