    This makes sense to me if you are recording on multiple pcs and then each pc does it’s own comskipping with available resources of the shows it recorded, but I wonder how this would impact network bandwidth if you run comskip over the network. Especially if you already have clients and/or network tuners using some of it. I guess you could schedule it for only late night hours and then the network bandwidth wouldn’tt be an issue.

    I’ve run 1 comskip instance on my client PC (E6600), while 3 were running on the server (all recordings are on the server) and watching a recording was not impacted at all over the Gb network.  Perhaps my CPU wasn’t processing the recording quickly enough to impact the network?

    If they were all hitting the same drive, then I could see a potential issue.  I never checked if that scenario ever happened.  But, network bandwidth never seemed to be an issue.  Also, for playback, I always made sure that I had one free core on both the server and the client.

    BTW, I did all this via Sage Job Queue.
