skydiscover/ffmpeg-jobs repository overview

⁠FFmpeg jobs and enhanced progress display

This project just adds a shell script for jobs management and enhanced progress display to Jrottenberg's FFmpeg container⁠ The added script is inspired from this script⁠

⁠How to use it

First of all you can pull the image by running docker pull skydiscover/ffmpeg-jobs then run it like this:

docker run
    --name=ffmpeg-jobs
    -d \
    -v <my/jobs/dir>:/jobs \
    skydiscover/ffmpeg-jobs

Then the conainer will monitor files that are added in /jobs/input and process those jobs. A job file contains only a ffmpeg command, like ffmpeg -i "my-movie" -c:v libx264 -c:a copy "my_new_movie".

Obviously, files have to be accessible by the container, so add as many mounted volumes as you need to. And for file in the job file, I highly advise you to just use double quotes "" if filenames are complex.

Others variables can be passed to the container like this: -e KEY=VALUE. Possible variables are:

DISPLAY_REFRESH_RATE - Time in seconds between log updates (default is 5 seconds)
PULL_REFRESH_RATE    - Time in seconds between job files search (default is 5 seconds)
