Unraid Handbrake Autoconverting from Watch Folder Question

Post by valhalla540 »

Description of problem or question:
I use Handbrake on Unraid in a docker. I have it set up to watch a folder and convert using a preset anytime something new appears in that folder. It appears to track the completed conversion in a file called "successful_conversions" I want to get confirmation that 1) This is true and 2) If that file were to be wiped out and I did not want every file to be converted again could I added entries to this file so it would skip ones I do not want to be converted. If the answer is yes, there appears to be a hash or some many character string added to the end of the file name. Is that required?


Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):

No problem, just a question


HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):

1.7.3 (x86_64)


Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):

Unraid

I can't edit the post to make the changes requested. Even so, I'm not having a problem, just asking a question.

HandBrake in docker is 3rd party. Watch folder functionality is not part of HandBrake itself so you'd need to ask the upstream project
