<div><br>

<br>
<br>
</div>MythTranscode: Mostly position-map data for the new file.<br>
<br>
MythJobQueue: A little status info, showing progress of the current & pending jobs.<br>
<br>
MythMediaServer: Nothing - read-only?<br>
<br>
MythPreviewGen: Nothing. It creates a preview file in the directory (storage group) containing the recording, based on looking up the recording (channel, stattime, the bookmark or default preview start time).<br>
<div><br>
<br>
<br>
> 2) What is mythfrontend doing with the database<br>
<br>
</div>Reading:<br>
* theme and language data,<br>
* recording or video or music info to display to the user,<br>
* location of a selected file to playback,<br>
* audio and video output settings to setup the playback window, decoder and deinterlacing filter,<br>
* position-map data to allow fast navigation in the playback.<br>
<br>
Writing a new bookmark location to trigger a mythpreviewgen execution.<br>
<br>
Reading/writing editing cutpoints (possibly from reading commercial-skip position maps).<br>
<div><br>
<br>
<br>
> 3) what is the master backend doing with the secondary backend (and vice<br>
> versa)<br>
<br>
</div>Not an expert, but I think;<br>
<br>
Master can ask slave to:<br>
* shutdown or sleep,<br>
* delete current or expired recordings,<br>
* start/stop a recording (or Live TV chain),<br>
* get status info, like how full slave's storage<br>
group dirs are, what recordings are occurring, et c.<br>
<br>
<br>
Generally, there isn't much the other way.<br>
When a slave starts up, it simply informs the<br>
master it is there and available to record?<br>
<div><br>
<br>
> 4) what is mythweb doing with the database and backends<br>
<br>
</div>Basically, exactly the same as MythFrontend.<br>
<br>
