Re: Setting cronjob for batch video processing
This problem may be related to batch processing but it is specifically for video importing.
I want to use the FTP feature to upload files and then import them to various users. I can FTP the files to my "import" folder in /templates_c and I have made sure that the folder and the files are all chmod 777.
When I use the admin feature to import a file from the list, the screen stays forever telling me that processing is taking place. However, the file never appears on the site. BUT, the mov file disappears from the "import" folder and appears in the "videos" folder. I assume this is because it is then waiting for a background cron job to process the file to flv.
My site is running realtime processing. I have tried background but that does not work at all. I don't mind the realtime but does that mean the import feature will never work? I am not interested in importing from other sites like uTube, only in importing files that I have FTP'd myself.
Are there some specific php files that I can find the code to make some changes? Can these changes even be made if I am not using cron to process my videos?
