[mythtv-users] BE 2 - Remote Frontends Sluggish on FF

Oh!  I was looking on the Backend's Setup figuring that's where the 
problem is.

OK - finally found that: in the EDIT sub-page.  Here on the laptop I'm 
using for testing (Intel dual core) jumped from 1 to 4 at the core 
option.  Playback didn't like 4 at all.  Manually entered 2 and was 
happier but everything looked unchanged at playback/FF/Rewind (FF still 
has a pause before it starts forwarding and still skips, plus rewinds 
further than it should -- 30 seconds to a minute even though FF at a 
slow rate.)

And not trying to be contrary but I'm thinking the problem is something 
in the configuration of BE2's configuration as any Frontend connected to 
it (BE2) has the problem but the same Frontend configured to connect to 
BE1 (the old Backend) has an immediate response to FF and advances the 
frames a heck of a lot quicker, plus doesn't rewind more than about few 
seconds -- that rewind option is set at the default value on the FE's.
