[mythtv-users] user jobs vs the built-in kind

[George Nassas]

Hi,

I have a long-running user job and have noticed that the frontend doesn’t give any indication that a recording has an active job. With commflagging and transcoding I get the little spinning marker next to its name (I’m using Blue Abstract for the theme) but for user jobs I have to go the the system status -> jobs menu.

Also problematic is how the backend doesn’t seem to check for running user jobs when deciding if it’s safe to shut down. They do get restarted the next time the machine comes up but it would be good to have them run all the way through the first time.

Is this behaviour intentional or an oversight? And, would a patch to change it be committed?

For extra bonus points: every so often I read the four job limit is going to be lifted from myth, what’s the status of that? It would make an awfully nice Christmas present ;)
