</span>I have been looking at this too. I have noticed that if you run the<br>
build-in perl scripts they update the jobqueue status if you start<br>
them with %JOBID% and the right verbosity rather then with %FILE%.<br>
This is the status you get when you hold your mouse over the active<br>
job in mythweb status. I'm still looking on how to use this for my own<br>
scripts. It would be nice to get a progress on my transcoding in stead<br>
of just "running". I guess you have to regularly update the jobqueue<br>
and maybe set some status indicator through the html interface. Maybe<br>
this would also help with what you want.<br>
Anybody knowing more on how this should work?<br>
