[mythtv-users] "watch recordings" menu -- 900 program limit?, and slow to generate

[Eric Wemhoff]

Thanks for the patch, David.  I'm not sure if it was against the 0.11
or 0.12 code, but I applied it to the 0.12 (which I'm now running) and
that seemed fine.

Your fix for the 900 program sorting problem works.  It's up to 942
now, and they're all getting listed in the right place.  Great!

As for the menu generation speed, it looks a tad faster with your
patch.  Running 0.12, It went from 9.5 to 9.0 seconds (I've got the
stopwatch out now, that's plus or minus about .05 seconds).  Call it
a 5 percent improvement.

I glanced at the playbackbox code and I'm having a hard time getting
oriented, especially with the complete lack of comments describing
what the functions do.  Are the descriptive object names spsd to be
the comments?

I could use some help:

What are the showData and showDateData objects?

What's a QMap .. something to do with qt?

Is PlaybackBox::updateShowTitles doing most of the work setting up the
list of shows?  It gets invoked from PlaybackBox::paintEvent?
