[mythtv] Behind the scenes MythTV module

[Evan Klinger]

Good evening everyone and Happy New Year.

I am attempting to write a simple updater module for MythTV that checks 
an HTTP URL once every while to see if a newer ersion of MythTV is 
available and then downloads and installs it. However, I'm running into 
problems getting my module to load into the background and then return 
to the main MythTV screen. All of the previous plugins inherit from a 
MythDialog but I am using QObject. I tried making MythUpdate a class and 
then using sleep() to wait for the next time to check for an update but 
that blocked the entire program. The same thing happened when I tried to 
make it a separate thread.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you
