Auto-encode a folder - SilverHawk21 - 02.06.2020

So,Adobe Media Encoder has this option where it 'watches' a folder and if it detects any supported video format,it will encode that and then output it to a specified folder.This option is called "Watch Folders".Any chance I can do the same with Hybrid?The problem with Adobe Media Encoder is it's frame interpolation is not optimized for animes because there's so many artifacts.
Unlike Hybrid which provides expanded customization on the encoding settings and I'm truly thankful to the coder for this.

Yes, there's a hidden option for that. Smile
https://forum.selur.net/showthread.php?tid=10 -> monitoring a folder
the main points are:
To specify a monitored folder you:
  1. need to create a misc.ini file with
    [General]
    monitorFolder="Path to folder"
    where "Path to folder" should be replaced by the folder of your choice.
  2. need to call Hybrid an additional CLI parameter.
    '-autoAdd <parameter>' tell Hybrid what to do with newly detected files.
    where:
    <parameter>:
    'add', tells Hybrid to create a new job based on the given setitngs in Hybrid.
    'addAndStart', tells Hybrid to create a new job based on the given setitngs in Hybrid and start the Job Queue processin.
  3. need to make sure you configured Hybrid that it can to what you want automatically.
