I have a weird issue on an application I am developing
The
application is fully tabbed and runs loops to transcode video files,
and I would like to be able to run the main transcoding loop fully in
parellel, ie: the process running in one tab is totally separate to
that running in another tab
This is a simplified version of the perl loop
sub encode_loop {
my ($optsi,$prog,$ext,$action_grid,$dvb,$type_g,$files,$video_type)=@_;
my $subname='encode';
my $progrun=&run_cmd($files->{$file_id},$opts,$prog,$ext,$subname,$action_grid,,0) ;
return 1
}
However this is what happens.
I start one loop running, then open another tab and set another loop running.
For the first file every works fine.
Then however
When the first file finishes encoding, the loop stops until the second loop is finished.
AND
The
second loop transcodes multiple files at the same time instead of
sequentially. The number is equal to the number of loops running, ie: if
two tabs are running the encode process, then two files are encoded
simultaneously, three tabs than three files
