Optionally cache source file (have Nodes work on files locally)

[damonbreeden]

The option to cache the source file locally before starting transcodes would be great, I am accessing files over a network share and unfortunately the network is the slowest part of my setup

Caching them locally before starting and working on the local file would increase my speed 10x and allow multiple passes on the same file before the final version gets returned to the server

Possible to do but makes things more complicated when multiple nodes need to work on the same file which is why it was not implemented that way.

I don't think this will result in any speed increase but you can do it with Tdarr Flows, would just need to do this:

Beta released the other day, feel free to reopen if you have any issues.
