You can run all commercial flagging on one box, and possibly transcoding, but I don't know if Geoffrey has fully tested that. The commercial flagging can run on any box that can talk to the backend, it does not have to have direct access to the files. The transcoder does have to have access to the files, so that is why it might or might not run on a box (depending on whether that box can access your recordings directory). The transcoder needs to write out a new file and it does that directly rather than through the backend, so running the transcoder on anything but the server that did the original recording isn't something that was part of the original design of the transcoder. It might work and it might not. If Geoffrey sees this, he would know better than I would. With that said, here's a link to how I answered a similar question recently. http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/108054?search_string=allow%20commercial;#108054 I think it will give you the info you need. -- Chris
