Describe Job Queue here.

There are 4 customizeable jobs you can have in the job queue. These can be configured by running mythtv-setup. In mythfrontend, you can then configure myth to allow specific jobs to run on the host, as well as configure those jobs to run.

Commercial flagging appears to be part of the Job Queue. The status of the Job Queue is visible on mythweb under "Backend Status".

Custom Jobs

A custom job is simply a command that will be invoked after recording. For example, invoking ffmpeg to transcode your recording to a flash video file (FLV) for online streaming. The commands can be parameterized by using special keywords in the command. The keywords are in the form %WORD% and the job queue process will substitute in the appropriate values.

See more details about User Jobs.
