Yes.<br>
<br>
Run a slave backend on the other computer. It doesn't need any tuners,<br>
but it does need access to the recording drives. You can configure the<br>
kinds of jobs it is capable of running, how many of them at the same<br>
time etc. If you want commflagging to run only on that other machine<br>
then disallow commflagging on the main backend.<br>

So I'm assuming if you run it from a script against just the files in the archive storage it finds the recording in the database that way? Is there also a way a script can detect if a file has already been Flagged? (Barring that, I guess the script could always move files from /storagedirunflagged to /storagedirflagged. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>
