Just wanted to pick people's brains a bit regarding the freevo web interface.
I am currently running 1.4 (rc4, I believe) and the web interface can be very slow at times. I'm sure part of that has to do with my setup... I pull 8 days of xmltv information down on a weekly basis (the extra day just gives me overlap coverage if it fails to pull properly). The piece that is really slow is, of course, Scheduled Recordings. Part of the reason that I pull down a week's worth of data is because I schedule a lot of favorites. MacGyver, Pretender, Stargate SG1, Sentinel, etc. By this time I have most of the episodes (or in some cases, already have some of the season sets on DVD) for those shows-- so every Sunday I go through, check my lists of what I have, and unschedule the episodes I already have. This takes a considerable amount of time. After I remove one from the schedule, it has to reprocess the schedule and list all the other scheduled episodes. It starts to speed up towards the end, when I've winnowed out somewhere around half the episodes, but it's still slow. I'm wondering if 1.5.0 has improved the speed of the web interface or optimized the code. I have a CPU applet in my GNOME panel that gets pegged at 100% when I hit the Scheduled Recordings page, and stays there until it's finished. If this code got optimized, that would mean a bit of difference for me. Also, failing a significant improvement in that code, does anyone have any recommendations as to how I could go about writing a clone of the Scheduled Recordings page which would have a checkbox by each episode and allow me to delete multiple scheduled recordings at once? Under that framework, I would just be able to check off all the ones I wanted removed, hit the button and grab a cup of coffee, ignoring however long it took. I'm not familiar with python (I'm a perl/php/C guy), but I can find my way around by leveraging the similarities of other languages to my advantage. For example, I dug into the code to add a column to that page which lists the episode name as well as the description-- much handier for me to look up on TVTome that way. :) (Btw, if others would like that in patch form, I'm sure I can dig it out pretty easily.) -- Nathan P.
