| Post subject: | mythfilldatabase is slow |
Just setup my mythbox to use my digital cable box. I'm running mythfilldatabase but it is VERY slow; about one channel every 10-15 seconds! Usually it's like 3-4 channels/second. Is this a function of lag to the www database or is my box not setup correctly? |

You are connecting to the Internet to get the info....My guess it is a function of speed of connection, ISP, net congestion, zap2it's servers. |

I ran mythfilldatabase for the first time yesterday and mine was painfully slow as well. I don't think that the problem is with the speed of the internet connection. It's slow because the script (at least from what I can tell from the output) makes a separate request to the server per channel per day. So if I have about 500 Dish Network channels, it takes 500 channels * 7 days * 10 seconds / 3600 seconds per hour = 9.72 hours to populate the channel guide, which is about what I saw. Don't know if there's some sort of option to do a bulk download from XMLTV. This sounds like more of a general MythTV issue than a KnoppMyth-specific one. Boris |

I ran mythfilldatabase today and it was running at less than 1 sec per channel. I had the whole week filled in just a few minutes, but other times it has been 7 seconds or so per channel. I think the speed is a combination of traffic between you are zap2it, the load on zap2it, etc like cesman said. |

Doe MythTV or is there something running on the backend to keep the XMLTV Up-To-Date, or do we need to run this (or build a script) ourselves. I know Zap keeps about 14 days max, how many days will Myth grab and/or is this customizable. Thanks much |

MythTV comes with a cron job that fills the database every night at 4:00 am. |

Well mythtv does come with a cronjob, but knoppmyth comes setup with a system cronjob in the cron.daily that runs at 6something am. It will grab 8 days of recording information and runs everyday. At any time you want to se how much info is in the database you can use the status screen under the tv menu. It should pretty much always say 8 days. if it's much lower than that you would want to start checking to see if zap2it broke xmltv agian. |
