i run a shell script from cron which downloads the data from the bbc with tv_grab_uk_rt and then feed the file into mythfilldatabase the download takes a while (because i have lot of channels) but the mythfilldatabase churns away for hours and hours and never finishes. i did once leave it for 24 hours to see if it would finish (it didn't) it *is* loading the data into the database but eventually the system starts swapping and that kills the throughput looking at the code, one thing that struck me is that it uses DOM, which in my case means it loads the whole XML file (all 22M) into memory and then processes it. i have a mind to try using SAX and see if that makes a difference. in the meantime, i've ordered a 512M SIMM for the machine. regards -- simon _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
