Watch folders #1177

Open petercrowley opened 12 months ago

petercrowley commented 12 months ago

Problem Description

It seems that the watch folders are not working. It initially loads the files into the queue and will mark others that are in use as planned, but I can not tell that it ever looks at the folder again without manual intervention. Also the files that are marked as planned will never be added to the queue even after the file is no longer in use by another program, and even when the folder is refreshed manually.

What version of VidCoder are you running?

8.25 SquirrelInstaller

There are some fixes for the watcher in the beta release, so you could try that (it runs side-by-side with the Stable release). If you are still having problems, can you post the General.txt and Watcher.txt logs from %appdata%/VidCoder ?

The Beta also has an alternate polling mode (Global options ➡️ Advanced ➡️ Watcher mode) that can work around problems in some Windows installs with the OS file watcher not working.
