[mythtv-users] Scheduler running every 5 minutes or so.

[Marco Quezada]

I noticed that after scheduling tv recordings on my backend the
machine stopped shutting down automatically. After looking at the logs
I found what appears to be a task from the scheduler running every 5
minutes or so. I am new to mythtv so from my current understanding it
seems like it is checking the scheduled recordings to update their
status. However, my idle timer is set to 15 minutes. I currently use
the EIT guide data so this gives me enough time when the machine is on
for the backend to grab as much new guide data as possible. Is there a
setting somewhere that allows me to change the frequency at which the
scheduler updates? I did add some manually scheduled recordings to the
list but I have noticed this behavior even with automatic scheduling.
Is there a chance that the AutoExpire is the culprit also? If so, can
someone advise of where the setting is that allows the AutoExpire chek
to be scheduled?

Thanks!
