Kodi freezes on DVBlink backup

[BartZorn]

Take the following scenario:

Watching a channel on TV. From the DVBlink management web interface (on an other PC) issue a backup command. At that moment Kodi freezes. I cancel the download of the backup, but Kodi does not resume. It does not respond to any remote or keyboard command. The only thing that works is CTRL-ALT-DEL. Starting the task manager from there gives a black screen with a task bar. No visible mouse pointer, no task manager window.

So what can you do? I couldn't think of anything else but restart the PC.

It seems to that there is something wrong with the communication between DVBlink and Kodi. If DVBlink backup needs exclusive control than I think it would be a good idea to add a confirmation request to the user interface before the actual backup operation starts.

But on the other hand, Kodi does not react nicely on DVBlink freezing up. At least, I assume that that is what happens, from Kodi's point of view.

I will post this both on the DVBlogic forum and the Kodi forum.
The Kodi log file has grown to 41 MB so it it not useful to upload it.

[the_man]

During making a backup file of the DVBLink settings - dvblink server breaks all streams/threads (it is needed to finish making the backup).
But the kodi behaviour is not so good, i guess this issue should not be related to the DVBLink server, but to the Kodi side ( how Kodi handle with this)
