tvheadend crashes and becomes zombie process

Hey,

I'm currently having troubles to run tvheadend on my arch linux server. Here is some of the journalctl.

Apr 24 19:37:27 serv systemd[1]: Stopping tvheadend...
Apr 24 19:38:57 serv systemd[1]: tvheadend.service: State 'stop-sigterm' timed out. Killing.
Apr 24 19:38:57 serv systemd[1]: tvheadend.service: Killing process 1143 (tvheadend) with signal SIGKILL.
Apr 24 19:38:57 serv systemd[1]: tvheadend.service: Main process exited, code=killed, status=9/KILL
Apr 24 19:38:57 serv systemd[1]: tvheadend.service: Failed with result 'timeout'.
Apr 24 19:38:57 serv systemd[1]: Stopped tvheadend.

problem is, that it doesn't open the web interface on port 9981, however from systemd status it looks like it is actually working just fine. stopping tvheadend.service, takes forever if it works at all.

For debugging purpose i tried running it from terminal, but similiar situation here. Debug was rather empty, though there are a lot of options I have not explored completely.

Interesting is, that if i start it from terminal, the process end up as a zombie process:

malte    18335  0.0  0.2 589468 36240 ?        D    20:12   0:00 tvheadend -d

and from now on I need to reboot, to be able to start it again. I assume it is because it blocks the port 9981, that actually never worked beforehand.

I already tried tvheadend and tvheadend-git from aur. In both cases I got the same result. Next step would be to reset configuration completely and see if it works then.

Any other suggestions or other people with the problem?
