Dear all,

For a couple of weeks now I have a linux server with ubuntu (version 14.04 NOT the server edition right now).

Sometimes I make videos and place them in a folder on the server. What I want to do is that some program looks in that folder every lets say half an hour. And when he founds a video he automatic convert it in a .mp4 format or .mp3 .Is that possible? Just to make sure it has to be an ubuntu application.

Thanks in advanced!

Maybe some info is missing. Please, feel free to ask.

Probably difficult.

I tried to use Handbrake and other programs with files on my WDMYCLOUD and discovered it wasn't working right. Editing programs on a network often has issues you don't get compared to files on the same computer.

I've also never seen anything quite like what you want. I suspect you'll need to do it manually.

Thanks for the replys,

I found "dropfolders", but it is an old program and only for mac and windows. Maybe someone knows a GUI to check for folders and send the data to handbrake?

@Someone somewhere,

I know what cronjobs are but never used them before. you have some tutorial for this?
Just for sure there is no build in automation in handbrake to do this task?
