Setting for number of video conversions per server

[sukhman21]

Hello,

It would be nice to have a setting say in plugin settings or in converter.php file where we can specify number of simultaneous conversions per server or say

server1 - conversion.php file we can specify 2 simultaneous conversions
server 2 - specify 4 simultaneous conversions

Maybe we can have a setting at the top where we have the database name user and password settings..

Obviously not everyone is going to run same number of conversions on every server - i personally want to run 5 conversions on 1 server and 2 on the remaining...

It does not make sence hence you suppress ffmpeg to use one core only (for very low priorit for encoding).
In my installation 6 cores I7 "grind" 100 minutes video file with 720p frame size for only 15-30 minutes using all cores. So if I use 1 queue size I will lose only max 1 minute of encoding downtime between two files.

ffmpeg doesn't use multiple threads in every video format. In those cases it makes sense to convert multiple files in one server.

my only concern here was that all of my servers are not the same CPU, some are good and some are old Xeon or say i3 processors , so i just wanted to limit the concurrent conversions per server depending on what type or power CPU i have in that particular server..
