Job Polling
|
Top |
|
A Project can be launched or re-run by simply dropping a text file in a specified directory. This directory is specified in on the job polling preferences page. If the job is successfully launched, the extension is on the file is changed from *.txt to *.running. If the job fails to launch successfully, the extension will be changed from *.txt to *.err and the error encountered should be added to the bottom of the file as a comment. If the job completes successfully, the extension will be changed from *.running to *.done and if there is an unexpected failure, the extension will be changed from *.running to *.err. The polled file can have any name with a *.txt file extension and must follow the following syntax (lines that start iwth a ';' are considered comments and are not parsed) :

;Optional Commands
|
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
;JobID = New JobID, if not specified the JobID from the template will be used which means
|
; the template will be modified. This option should only be used when
|
; UsePre-EncodedFiles is yes or if the job template is set to use pre-encoded files.
|
;Title = New Title
|
;Subtitle = New Subtitle
|
;Date = New Date
|
;DataFileDirectory = Full path to the data file directory
|
;FirstPlayAudio = Full path to the first play audio file. This file is optional even if a first play video file is included
|
;FirstPlayVideo = Full path to the first play video file which can be an elementary stream, program stream or vob file
|
;Quantity = Quantity or total number of copies
|
;MenuTheme = Full path to new menu to use instead of the one specified in the template
|
;DiscLabelFile = Full path to new disc label file
|
;DiscLabelPrnFile = Full path to new disc label PRN file (if the job template is not set to use a PRN file for the disc label, this option will set it to do so)
|
;DiscLabelBackground = Full path to new disc background bitmap
|
;CaseWrapPrnFile = Full path the new case wrap PRN file (if the job template is not set to use a PRN file for the case wrap, this option will set it to do so)
|
;CaseWrapBackground = Full path to new case wrap background bitmap
|
;DataFileDirectory = Full path to a directory whose contents (including subdirectories) will be written to the root of the DVD
|
|
;UsePre-EncodedFiles (this interface is still supported but is supersceded by 'UsePre-CapturedFiles') = yes|no
|
;UsePre-CapturedFiles = yes|no
|
;Pre-EncodedFileType (this interface is still supported but is supersceded by 'Pre-CapturedFileType') = ElementaryStreams|ProgramStreams|VobFiles
|
;Pre-CapturedFileType = ElementaryStreams|ProgramStreams|VobFiles|FilesToEncode|DVDFiles|ImageFile:DVDFilesWithCollateral
|
;Pre-EncodedFile (this interface is still supported but is supersceded by 'Pre-CapturedFile') = this parameter is a coma delimited list whose elements depend on the
|
; type. This command is repeated for each segment to be combined onto this video title.
|
; For ElementaryStreams
|
; <Required: Full path to video stream>,<Required: Full path to audio stream>[,<Full path to thumbnail bitmap>[,<length of segment in hh:mm:ss>[,<Segment title>]]]
|
;
|
; For ProgramStreams
|
; <Required: Full path to muxed program stream>[,<Full path to thumbnail bitmap>[,<length of segment in hh:mm:ss>[,<Segment title>]]]
|
;
|
; For VOBFiles
|
; <Required: Full path to VOB file>[,<Full path to thumbnail bitmap>[,<length of segment in hh:mm:ss>[,<Segment title>]]]
|
;
|
; For FilesToEncode
|
; <Required: Full path to VOB file>[,<Full path to thumbnail bitmap>[,<length of segment in hh:mm:ss>[,<Segment title>]]]
|
;
|
; For ImageFile
|
; <Required: Full path to a UDF or ISO Image file>
|
;
|
; For DVDFiles
|
; <Required: Drive letter of a DVD to copy or Full path of a folder containing DVD files to write>
|
;
|
; For DVDFilesWithCollateral
|
; <Required: Drive letter of a DVD to copy or Full path of a folder containing DVD files to write. This is a special case of the DVDFiles option,
|
; where the DVD being copied was authored by us and has a collateral folder. Given this, the collateral folder is used to reproduce the label and packaging.>
|
;
|
;Pre-CapturedFile = this parameter is a coma delimited list whose elements are determined by the prefix.
|
; This command is repeated for each segment to be combined onto this video title.
|
; coma delimited fields must be prefixed by one of the following:
|
; MUXED: Full path to muxed or video elemntary stream file
|
; VIDEO: Full path to video elementary stream file
|
; LENGTH: Segment length in hh:mm:ss (this is required to set the bitrate)
|
; AUDIO: Full path to audio elementary stream file
|
; BITMAP: Full path to thumbnail bitmap
|
; TITLE: Title
|
; PATH: Drive letter of a DVD to copy or full path of a folder containing DVD files to write or full path to a UDF or ISO image file. With this option
|
; there should only be one Pre-CapturedFile command line. (i.e. don't specify two images)
|
;
|
; MUXED or VIDEO and LENGTH are required, the remainder are optional.
|
;
|
;Variable = <variable name>,[<substitution value>]
|
; The variable command takes a coma delimited pair where the first item is the variable name
|
; and the second (optional) item is the value to be substituted for the variable in
|
; the DVD menus and print assets. If the substitution value is left blank, the variable will be
|
; replaced with nothing.
