Scan and search is made at random times

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Set ScanDisk & CheckSub & CheckRSS to 86400
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect that new subtitles are searched every 24 hours (=86400 seconds).
However I see in the logging that searches are made at 23:59, 10:18, 17:56, 
etc...
System is not rebooted in between.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
AutoSub version Beta 0.5.5 on Synology DS211

Please provide any additional information below.
Is is perhaps possible (in a future version?) to preset a time (like cron, eg 
every day at 22:00 hrs)

Does the counter / timer on the front page move at the correct speed. If for 
example 30 minutes has passed. Do the timers on the front page change 30 
minutes?

Yes, counter on frontpage runs at correct speed. However at this moment it is 
saying:
Next RSSCheck   21:12:27
Next ScanDisk   21:12:20
Next CheckSub   21:12:30

but in the log it appears every day at 10:48 a new scan is made. So it appears 
to be updating every 24 hours, but then are these next-scan-times incorrect?

The time on the front page are counting down. I can't see at what time you made 
your post, please check that for me.

Why do you have such a big interval for both RSSCheck and ScanDisk?

Yes, counters on front page are counting down.
I have a 24 hrs interval because there is no real hurry for me to download the 
subtitles. If a new scan is made every 24 hours, then that is enough for me; 
I'm not wachting the downloaded episodes untill a few days (or a week) later. 
So if the subtitles are downloaded by then, that is gooed enough for me :)

(BTW: Autosub is great at downloading the subtitles. I tried Subliminal, but it 
could not handle my series as good as AutoSub!)

Ok, so to the clear. There is no problem? No random scan / search? Just your 
request for a cron like schedular?

Can you give an update on this issue please?

Correct: the scan appears to be made every 24 hours, just as I wanted, however 
the counters on the front page are displaying times that are different from the 
time at which the scan is made.
If it could be sceduled from cron that would be a great nice-to-have.

The time on the frontpage is a countdown to the moment that the next scan is 
made. For example: Next CheckSub 23:50:47 means the next checksub will run in 
23 hours 50 minutes and 47 second. It is just a timer counting down.

For your question regarding cron jobs. I never though of implementing a 
cronjob, because of this it will be very hard to implement it. But I will keep 
it in mind for any upcoming redesigns.
