Watch folder for Batch Converter

Post by Cooller89 »

Hi, Is it possible to make a Watch folder for batch converter? Do you upload audio and video to a tracked folder and dcpomatic converts it itself?

Don't think it's a good idea to create DCPs without even looking at their image and audio parameters.
You could certainly script it using the CLI.

you can create 2 tracked folders, for example, for flat and for scope, and upload files there, specify in the configuration where to get the name and where to record the result, of course, upload specially prepared video and audio tracks to these folders.

I am ready to become an experimental subject and help in every possible way with the implementation of such functionality)) :D
