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"></span><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>

I think I sussed it. I needed to run mythtv-setup and allow the
backend to run these jobs. Before it wasn't allowed. Now I have
mythtv-backend running again, I can see the jobs are actually
running.<br>
