I want to archive a couple of series, that I have on my mythtv box, but I don't want it to interfere with normal mythtv functions.<br><br>Is there a way to run nuvexport so that if a recording starts that it will scale way back , or pause until it is done recording,
<br>and also really give it all it's got in the early morning hours when nothing is recording? <br>I have another machine I can setup, can I get it to do all the archiving with nuvexport - It is a P4 HT so it should even be faster than my main machine.
</blockquote><div><br>Tim,<br><br>You can change the settings in mythtv-setup | General on the eighth (8th) page labelled "Job Queue (Global)" for mythcommflag and mythtranscode and preface them with ionice and nice to make them give way to other program's I/O and processing needs. On my system I have them set as:
<br>Commercial Flagger command: ionice -n 7 nice -n 20 mythcommflag<br>Transcoder command: ionice -n 7 nice -n 20 mythtranscode<br><br>Once you have saved your changes, new jobs will use the modified commands.
