Yeah -- found that after sending the message - looks like in those big
gaps it's 'bpmedialist -l' running. Sure enough, this takes about 23
minutes to run on it's own - any suggestions on how this might be
solved?
I think it might be because one of the media servers is down for
maintenance (actually - it's never been used yet, just has storage
units defined - still in testing really).
Suggestions?
