Description
Hello,
I selected "Retranscode all videos", that in my case means 27.000 videos.
The problem is that now the server will be busy several days retranscoding the oldest videos, which have a .flv version already, instead of transcoding the newest ones, the ones that people is uploading right now.
May I change that in some way? Can I force to transcode a video? Or only cron could do that....
It will take days, so it's a bit anonying specially for new contributors who start posting videos and want to see them right away.
Please help!
Thanks

I just committed a patch so that videos that have never been transcoded are transcoded first: http://drupal.org/cvs?commit=161846
I'll release 5.x-3.16 shortly.

Yes, yes yes!!!
Cron was stuck, I removed the cron_semaphore and even restarted the server but couldn't get it running until I found a post where it says that you should remove that variable AND (and!!!) clear the cache. (http://openpackage.biz/forum/support/cron-problem)
That solved the problem, newly added videos are being transcoded.
My email is not getting more "what is happening with my videos" questions anymore!
Thanks!
