Hello Rboy,
I had an idea for great functionality over the weekend when i found many 'orphaned' converted files in my destination folder.
I am using feature that allows MCEBuddy to keep Converted and Original files in sync. This means if I delete file in WMC, converted file gets deleted as well.
This is awesome feature but as is implied in the readme file, deletion attempt happens only once. This means in case drive is not mounted, or NAS is just rebooting, MCEBuddy will not attempt to delete the file again.
Would it be possible to add a timer to attempt to perform unsuccessful jobs on regular basis ??? ( same as searching for files ( currently set to every 3 mins ) is currently used ). Keep it in the different "history" file so that we can clean up this queue on demand.
Also, same feature as described above could be added for "sorting". Right now, if destination is unavailable, MCEBuddy dumps the file to designated folder and forgets about it. It would be cool if on same timer as above, MCEBuddy attempted to sort those recordings multiple times until it succeeds (or via custom settings auto clean up queue for jobs older than X days/weeks/months )
I know it sounds complicated but GUI for the functionality would pretty much stay the same. It could be called "Keep Converted files in sync" with one extra button to "clean sync" to delete previous history log. Timer could be set to default value (same as searching for new files in monitored folders) and changeable by user via advanced settings or mcebuddy.conf file.
Thanks
