Description

Latest svn running on Ubuntu Gutsy. This is my first upgrade to the QT4 edition.

Whenever the autoexpire thread runs, mythbackend fails with the error:

"ASSERT failure in QCoreApplication::sendEvent: "Cannot send events to objects owned by a different thread. Current thread 82cf670. Receiver (of type 'QObject') was created in thread 818ba48", file kernel/qcoreapplication.cpp, line 269"

(first thread number varies)

The only patch I'm using is my own (submitted but rejected) which allows the 'INFO' keybinding to work as 'DETAILS' rather than 'SELECT'. I've just checked with svn diff.

This appears to be only related to expiring shows which have hit their 'maximum episode count' - I've managed to stop the crashes by giving all shows an unlimited episode count.

(In [16998]) do not use dispatchNow() in the autoexpirer.

the underlaying sendEvent() does not work for object created in different threads in qt4. Fixes #5172
