[mythtv-users] Auto scan of video library

Hi all,

I have been googling but to no avail so far.

I have my frontend setup to perform a scan when I enter "Video Library"
(0.25+fixes on mythbuntu) and this works like it should. A scan is
performed and then a background process runs to look up the metadata.

The problem is, my frontend is an Atom/ION motherboard and I get jerky
playback while the lookup is happening in the background. I have now turned
this off for this reason.

I want to move the process to the backend server where there is plenty of
grunt. So from cron, I can perform a nice /usr/bin/mythutil -q --scanvideos
every hour to pick up new content.

What I can't figure out is how to perform a metadata lookup after the scan.

What should I be looking for?

Many thanks

Phil
