Hi all,
New here and only here because of an issue I am having with apache killing a process on me.
For years I have used MythTV, great program. For a good portion of that time I have also used MythWeb. A few months ago I updated my system, which involved an apache update. I went to the mythweb pages and everything looked fine so I didn't do any in depth testing.

Now however, several months later, I am now trying to use mythweb to watch some of the recorded shows using a flash video player. When I do that I get about half a second of video and audio and then it stops like it is waiting for the stream but nothing ever resumes playing.

In the apache error_log I see the following when I attempt to watch via the flash player:
[Thu May 13 19:32:35 2010] [error] [client IP] CGI process 32124 didn't exit, sending SIGKILL, referer: http://servername/mythweb/tv/flowplayer-3.1.1.swf?0.4130763253197074
[Thu May 13 19:34:19 2010] [error] [client IP] CGI process 32143 didn't exit, sending SIGKILL, referer: http://servername/mythweb/tv/flowplayer-3.1.1.swf?0.18489615339785814
[Thu May 13 19:41:57 2010] [error] [client IP] CGI process 32170 didn't exit, sending SIGKILL, referer: http://servername/mythweb/tv/flowplayer-3.1.1.swf?0.36737042013555765

Unless I am misunderstanding this, it looks like apache is killing the process to stream the video to the player. I have asked for help on the MythTV mailing list but gotten no replies. I believe because noone else is seeing the problem.

Any help would be apreciated.

Which linux / unix do you use? Did you also update mythweb?
Did you try to run apache in debug mode? Are you sure that it came with the apache update or maybe related to other software on the server? Do you have older logs from date after the update?

I figured it out.
Its working, always has been. I never just tested internal to my network. Why would you watch tv over mythweb at home?
Once I found out it worked internally I had a friend try it from his home, it worked there too.
I then tried it at work, and it fails. Something in the firewalls or filters at work is stopping the video stream, which is why apache is correctly terminating the process.
