If you can get mythjobqueue and mythcommflag compiled on Windows (which implies libmyth and libmythtv) then you can flag commercials. Transcoding would require getting mythtranscode compiled, but that should be fairly easy once you have the other two programs. > Heck, take it one step further.

This hasn't been true for a while. That's the purpose of the mythjobqueue executable. It is a simple standlone program that scans the JobQueue for jobs and runs them (if you ran the backend setup program and turned on the settings to allow that host to run jobs). > Anyway, just kinda thinking out loud.

I'll startup mythjobqueue on my development machine talking to my production database in order to test commercial flagging or reflag a bunch of shows real quick, etc.. You could startup a mythjobqueue executable on your frontends if you wanted and have them process commercial flagging jobs, etc.. I plan on adding a new feature to the queue sometime soon to allow you to set a job processing time window on a per-machine basis. So if you only wanted a machine to be able to run jobs from say 1am (when you went to bed) till 6pm (when you got home from work), then you could setup the queue that way. So all jobs would queue up and wait if there were no hosts available to run them, then when 1am rolled around, the backlogged jobs would start firing off normally. -- Chris
