[mythtv-users] Where does commercial flagging happen???

[stuart]

Hi...

I had noticed that when my single core MBE was commercial flagging that 
the duel core SBE would not be able to play back programming streamming 
from the MBE w/o some annoying jitter.  So I disabled the commercial 
flagging on the MBE unless it was between midnight and 6am.  (Solving 
this problem, if possible, deserves another thread.)

Recently, I noticed the duel core SBE was again having jitter problems. 
  This time playing as SD OTA ATSC recording.  Hummmm!  I checked and 
noticed the SBE was doing a commercial flagging session.  I'm thinking 
this shouldn't be a problem - it's a duel core machine!

Then a friend suggested the SBE was doing a MBE commercial flagging. 
That is, I was probably transmitting the equivalent of 3 shows over my 1 
network between the MBE and SBE machines.

Even if I didn't set the "flag commercials on the machine it was 
recorded on" for either the MBE or SBE, I would have never thought a 
mythtv network would go out of it's way to flag commercials on anything 
but the MBE.

So what to people think, will setting the MBE to only flag commercials 
during off hours (something like midnight to 6am) cause the MBE to 
executed a "remote commercial flagging session" on a recording recorded 
and stored on the MBE?

(Note, FYI, there are tuners on both the MBE and SBE machines.)
