[PATCH] Enable JOBQUEUE remote control using mythprotocol

[morpheuz@…]

With this patch, I added an entry at MythProtocol so remote frontends can request, for the backend, the transcode of files.

Sintax of msg:

START_TRANSCODE_DISK FILE TRANSCODE_PROFILE e.g.: START_TRANSCODE_DISK 1000_20061207123000.nuv High Quality

STOP_TRANSCODE_DISK FILE e.g.: STOP_TRANSCODE_DISK 1000_20061207123000.nuv

The backend will answer with an "OK" if the job was correctly inserted in the queue or "ERROR" if something went wrong (e.g.: there is no such transcode profile).

Patch against svn tree using "svn diff"

Using Captain Murdoch and xris's suggestions changed somethings:

Now we can handle any kind of JOBQUEUE operation, instead of just handling transcode as before.
Sintax:
JOBQUEUE ADD <TYPE> <CHANID> <STARTTIME> <OPTIONS>

You can use ADD, STOP, RESTART, RESUME, PAUSE as what I call "actions".
There is the need to code this actions for another type of jobs, but the "cases" are all in the code. TRANSCODE is already working 100%.
Sintax for transcoding:

JOBQUEUE ADD JOB_TRANSCODE <CHANID> <STARTTIME> JOB_USE_CUTLIST JOB_OUTPUT <outfile> <PROFILE>

eg: JOBQUEUE ADD JOB_TRANSCODE 1000 2006-12-07T12:30:00 JOB_USE_CUTLIST JOB_OUTPUT /tmp/test.nuv High Quality

Closing this since the Raymond Wagner is currently working on a major rework of the JobQueue which should include this functionality since there will be a true job scheduler added that will be event driven.
