| Post subject: | Frontend Job Queuing |
I installed a mythtv frontend on my regular desktop computer today and everything went very smoothly to connect and view recordings and livetv as I had already setup Samba to use an Xbox frontend. I thought it would be useful to use the desktop computer to queue jobs like xvid transcoding on my main combined frontend/backend box. Unfortunately when I go to the job options on the remote frontend, there is no transcode to xvid job. On my combined frontend/backend I have 2 normal options and 3 user options: Begin Transcoding Begin Commercial Flagging Begin Encode for iPod Begin Transcode to XviD Begin Add commflag to cutlist I created the "Begin Add commflag to cutlist" so that I had an easy way to generate cutlists in the menu. On my remote frontend, I only get the 2 normal optoions and 1 of my user options: Begin Transcoding Begin Commercial Flagging Begin Add commflag to cutlist Why don't the other 2 user jobs show up? Is it because the scripts are on a different machine? How can I make the frontend queue the jobs to be run on the backend? Thanks. |

Update: I am still investigating this. I have gone to mythweb and am looking at the mythtv settings there. It does not show any information for User Job 1 and User Job 2. Maybe Knoppmyth has generated them in a non-standard way? I will copy the information I have for User Job 2, a.k.a. "Begin Transcode to XviD" to User Job 4 on the backend and see if that takes care of it. Can anyone else confirm whether Mythweb and remote frontends show their User Jobs 1 and 2? Should I report this as a bug? |

Update 2: It works just how I want as long as the user jobs are 3 and 4. For some reason 1 & 2 are not available to a remote frontend or mythweb. Not really a problem for me, but it does seem odd. I also can't disable user jobs 1 & 2 on the combined frontend/backend, even when I uncheck them on the backend setup. Strange. Anyway, as I said, my problem is solved by using jobs 3 & 4. |

I have a similar problem on my front end. I only have the first two options of: Begin Transcoding Begin Commercial Flagging the other ones are not available from my frontend. I tried the Begin Transcoding options, but it ends up failing with an error code of 247. I guess I'll have to do more research on this issue. |

AFAIK, frontend don't transcode only backends. |

Cecil, Are you saying that the frontend just queues it for his backend to run? So the problem is probably his backend and not frontend? I know with "Transcode to Xvid" it queues it on the backend. *Insert "that's what she said" joke here* |

I'm saying what I'm saying. If there was another way to say what I'm saying, I'd have said it that way... |
