 There are a considerable number of options that can be specified to modify the default processing of DetectAds.
 Many of these options are somewhat esoteric and should not normally be touched unless needed but others (shown in '''bold''' below) may be changed as required.

 ;Limit cpu usage to:Option will only be shown if the cpulimit package has been installed and will limit the cpu usage of the ffmpeg program (cpu hog) to approximately the specified value.  This will slow down traditional processing significantly if the percentage is less than 50%,  the impact on chaserun is less significant unless you are simultaneously recording two HD channels.
 :This support is still experimental and it is not yet known if cpu limiting will reduce drop-outs and other faults - please report findings in the forums.

 ;Run Analysis now:This processes the file immediately with the results displayed in the processing routine but due to the length of time taken to analyse  a recording it is recommended that this option not be used unless you have a lot of spare time or need to investigate a problem!
-;Run Analysis in background:This option adds the recording to the Auto processing queue and returns. The queue is processed sequentially and, if the system is restarted, resumes on restart so if you have a number of recordings to be processed they can be safely added to the queue without waiting for preceding files to finish processing.

The queue is processed sequentially and, if the system is restarted, resumes on restart so if you have a number of recordings to be processed they can be safely added to the queue without waiting for preceding files to finish processing.<br>If you wish wish to defer DetectAds processing to a time when the system is less busy you can specify a target start time or ASAP on the panel.  The target time is the earliest start time but processing may start later depending on when the regular auto processing task starts and how many other items need to be processed on the queue.  You must of course ensure the the system is switched on at the target processing time and remains on long enough to process all of the queued items (possibly set up a scheduled repeating reminder event)
 If the selected recording is already on the queue the two Run buttons are replaced by:
 ;Remove from background queue:This removes the entry from the processing queue but it does not cancel processing for the recording if it has already started.
 If the file has already been decrypted the program will be processed in 'traditional' mode otherwise it will be processed in the new 'chaserun' mode.
