sure, you just have to make sure "allow commercial detection jobs" is unchecked in the setup of your master backend and checked on the slave backend. also make sure "allow flagging only on recording host" is unchecked.

unfortunately, this doesnt seem to work for transcoding. recordings are flagged on my 2.4GHz P4 frontend and then transcoded on my 866MHz P3 backend. anyone know how to change that?

Hello,

I'm working with very limited processor constraints. I've got
a 733mhz P3 with a PVR-350 card as my frontend/backend.
This is fine for TV recording and playback as it's 100% hardware
accelerated, but it breaks down when I want to play DVDs, even
with the new 0.3.7d ivtv drivers with XV support. So I need to
offload as much CPU as possible.

This MythTV box mounts all it's storage directories over
100BaseTX NFS. The machine hosting my disk array and NFS
is a dual CPU 600mhz P3, and it's CPUs are idle 99% of the
time.

I'm going to migrate the MySQL database to my NFS server
tonight, but I doubt that will give me any useful performance benefits.
I'm mainly doing it to make sure my Myth DB is on the RAID-1
array for reliability reasons.

What I'd like to do is run mythcommflag on the NFS server. I've
notice mythcommflag chew up as much as 40% CPU, so this would
be a big win.

Is it possible to setup a slave backend on the NFS server that
doesn't have a tuner and only runs mythcommflag jobs and periodic
jobs like mythfilldatabase?

Thanks!
