Queueing

How to queue transcodes

You can queue transcodes to leave them going, say, overnight. It's simple and can be done manually, or via the context menu (Right clicking on one and/or more files or folders)

Via the context menu:

To right-click and add files/folders to the queue with one click, you need to run TcNo-Transcoder.exe first. Once it's open, enter "shell add" to add the context menu options. You will now see a new item when you right-click a file, folder or background of a folder (The white space); labelled: "TcNo Transcoder". Hovering over it will reveal one or both of the following options:

• Add to Queue: Will add selected files to the queue, for later batch processing.
• Start Queue: Will instantly start processing items in the queue.

Adding items to the Queue will add them to the ./extra/queue.txt file, which you could manually add to Manually: section.

Manually:

1. Create (if it doesn't already exist) a queue.txt file in the extra folder.
2. To add files and folders to the transcode queue, enter items using the template below:
   • Files: "D:\folder\file.mp4"
   • Folders: "D:\folder"

Starting the queue:

Once you have a queue prepared, you can start it through multiple methods:

• Starting TcNo-Transcoder.exe as usual, and you'll be prompted if you'd like to start processing the queue.
• Right-clicking the background of any folder, or any file/folder, entering TcNo Transcoder and clicking Start Queue
• Creating a shortcut, or starting via the command line; use: TcNo-Transcoder.exe -q or TcNo-Transcoder.exe --queue, and the queue will be processed instantly.
