<br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I have been running 0.24 of mythtv-backend on my Debian stable system, from the precompiled packages. In order to get a matching front end (Debian Unstable which has 0.25) I removed all the precompiled packages and compiled from source.<br>
<br>
I seem to have a working system.<br>
<br>
Something I have never understood until preparing to write this email is what Flag Adverts does (I am only beginning to understand).<br>
<br>
Now that I just compiled and installed the backend from scratch, I want to make it work<br>
<br>
In the early hours of this morning I recorded a program. It started recording at 12:10AM. Now (at 8:50PM) I am looking at the myweb display of the backend status, and it shows the Job Queue. Sitting in that Queue is the program that I recorded, with a "Flag Adverts" tacked on to the end. If I mouse over the job it shows me that its status is Queued, and the Status Time is 1:50AM (which makes sense, since the program was 1 hour 40 minutes long.<br>
<br>
What causes it to move from the status queued, to something else. Do I need a cron job?<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"></font></span><br></blockquote></div><br>No cron job needed... just need to make sure you have a window defined in which your system can process the jobs queue. Look through your settings on the frontend. I believe the default is 24hrs/day but if it's still sitting there queued, then perhaps you changed it?<br>
<br>Flag Adverts does exactly what it says... it flags commercial breaks so that you can easily (or automatically) skip commercials during playback.<br>
