[Freevo-devel] [patch] adjust niceness of recordserver

[Florian Demmer]

after playing around and optimizing for a while with self compiled 
mplayer and x i found no other way to smoothly play full resolution pal 
mpeg2 recordings without hw acceleration on my via epia m10k, than to 
renice the recordserver process...

it uses a config var called TV_RECORD_SERVER_NICE and is only 2 (4) 
lines long, but works great for me... maybe someone else needs to save 
some cpu cycles for watching...
