Lost connection to TVH, high CPU load

[andyb2000]

Cpu almost pegged out at 100% when TVH connection is lost for whatever reason.

Just tested: pidvbip idle (not subscribed), shutdown TVH daemon, cpu to 100% on pi and stays there. Start TVH daemon, pi still at 100% cpu load. Cannot restart subscription.

So need some form of hts timeout/socket timeout.
(noted here mainly to remind myself to look into it!)

Thanks, yes. This has been in the back of my mind for a while - yes, we should have a timeout, and then pidvbip should attempt to reconnect at regular intervals (no idea what, perhaps 5 or 10 seconds?)

You may perhaps want to hold off until I've finished implementing multiple-server support in pidvbip - I'm most of the way there, so should hopefully finish in the next few days.
