Background processing don't work

[loverguyz]

Hello.
I just got vshare and I have tried it and like it alot but I cant make Background processing to work.
I have it checked but when i upload a movie the movie stands in the process queue without anything more happend until i click on convert now. Then it converts and work but i want this to happen in the background. I have checked here and I have made my php.ini as it should be but still i cant get it to work and I have tried with diffrent files and the result are the same all the time. It dont start encoding the movie

Thanks for the help in advance :)

I have installed the script under Windows XAMPP. Almost everything seems to work well. I can do video uploads/conversions with the Realtime Processing config option, and with the admin interface. So convert.php is pretty much working.

I am stuck trying to get Background Processing option to work. I can successfully run convert.php from the command line and via exec. The following example works:

exec(c:/xampp/php/php -q c:/xampp/vshare/convert.php 25)

But adding the "> /dev/null &" to the end of the command fails every time. The process_queue isn't updated and nothing is written to the debug.txt. Nothing is in the error.log.

Any ideas? This seems to be something specifically related to the "> /dev/null &" stuff at the end of the command and Windows.

If you are running in windows, you can remove

> /dev/null &

After u done that, still have problem, you need to chk if the convert.php is getting executed.

Yes, I did remove the " > /dev/null &" and convert.php runs great. But of course it does not run in the Background. That's the point of the "&" option. So running under Windows, how can I make convert.php run as a background process?
