v2.6 why doesn't process automatically? + cron works once

[zendiz]

Hi
Just bought vshare yesterday and trying to figure things out.

1. My primary idea is to set up the site with 1 account, load like hundreds of videos into the import folder and have the system convert those automatically, but after searching and trying for hours I'm pretty stuck here.
I see in the admin that I can manually assign every single video to same user but have to put title, description, keywords, select a channel, then click convert and yes I have 1 video. Imagining doing this with like 5000 videos, one should outsource it, which is not the idea. Is there a way things are done automatically?

2. Also I tried to setup cron.php (hoped that would solve what I want, well at least it should process conversion Q but doesnt)
I set it up in cpanel exactly as should, now we have hosting at cirtexhosting.com claiming to support vshare. I have no problems with site, ffmpeg conversions etc, just the bloody cron wont run (at least I think so). Running cron.php manually using the url it processeses exactly 1 video. pfff
I've read many things, but there is not much consistency in this forum. So I couldn't find a clear answer for my questions.

3. It's good to have this forum but a clearly written manual that gets into this things would a good start.

Many thanks for the person who takes the time to help out here.

Ok got cron working. If you have cpanel 11 on your hosting, spare yourself the trouble f**** around with unix command lines, just use 'standard' on cron jobs.
Works now.

Still would like to know if via import folder there is a quick way to add 5000 videos in 1 category for 1 user.

Thanks if you know the answer...even if it's an sql query lol

You can do it, but it involve some work. Try importing a video and check process_queue table, you will see what is needed to import a video. You need to do that for all the videos to get bulk import work.

i was joking about that sql query :)

is there a dummies way to do the thing you just explained (besides NOT doing it?)

I mean I really need some multi import thingy cause I'm stuck with like 5000 vids that need to be uploaded and I'm not gonna do all of them manually.

So any suggestion here?

Thanks

Multi Import is not available now, we will try adding this on next release.

That would be super sweet :mrgreen:

Multi Import is available in bug fix

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=2722

This will import all video from folder. Use the same details for all video, once processed, videos will go public and you need to modify title, description, etc... Disable auto approval if you don't want to go them public.
