library Transcode limits

meh404

Is there any way to limit the number of files from a single Library?

For example, 4K files hammer my server like mad, so I'd like an option to limit at most X files in this set to be able to transcode at a given time.

Whereas TV I can do XX at a time without many issues.

I can see i can limit the number of transcodes. but cannot see an option library filter-wise?

you can

limit runners per processing node
limit libraries per processing node
adjust libraries so their priority is higher

reven yeah I can see options you mention. But a max jobs per library would be handy....

IF max global jobs is higher than max limit per library then it should grab from another library? Upto the total max global jobs.

I know this isn't in the script. But for 4k items it would be useful for me. As priority settings are handy, but when it comes to 4k content I'd very much like a max jobs lower than standard 1080p content.

make an issue/request for it on github. I can see it being handy in some situations, eg to limit hard drive usage and spread the load
