Can someone try this out with a large number of recordings on a .26 backend?

I believe the issue stems around streaming the data from the mythtv
services api and the large amount of data is too much for the processor to
handle.  However, with .26, we are requesting a compressed version of the
data in gzip format.  In that case, i has to download the whole file first
before it can be uncompressed and then processed.  Previously, we were
downloading the data as  json file and storing it on the filesystem and
then parsing it on the fly, which I imagine for those of you with large
recording collections was slow.

Thanks for your help in resolving this issue.
