Hi Albertus,

I have gone through my computer, but I can't find any video converter. I just don't understand how.

Hi Tom.

in what why you create that video? could you just send me that video (non WMV format)?

Regards

Hi Albertus,

A video is sent to you. I use my webcam to make videos.

Hi Tom,

please check it. your video has been converted:

Hi Albertus,

So I should do that for every video I or others want to upload or is it just for my own videos?

Hi Tom,

yes. you should. for cron job you can asking your server support about it. so it will executing automatically in regularly (in seconds, minutes, hour, etc)

Regards

Hi Albertus,

I tested now with Another video and that worked after your instructions. :)

Hi Albertus,

Thank you so much. I'll ask them to change it to Another interval, since now it is every 12 hr. :)

Hi Albertus,

Just a short question as I forgot. What is the recommended settings for cron jobs so Everything execute without doing it manually on the backend?

Hi Tom,

cron job only need to execute:
http://[your site domain]/index.php?option=com_community&task=cron

and the execution time at least every 5 minutes. so after video uploaded. at least 5 minutes later will be converted.

for more about cronjob. you can asking your server support. its common things for server.

Hi Albertus,

Thank you, I'll fix this.

Hi Albertus,

There is one thng I don't really understand. In the documentation for setting up cronjobs it shows the following in the JS site:

wget -O /dev/null " www.domain.com/index.php?option=com_community&task=cron " > /dev/null

Thats fine, but why does it show wget -1 /dev/null " www.domain.com/index.php?option=com_community&task=cron " > /dev/null on my server and shouldn't the converting does per automatic? Is the -1 meaning it has to be done manually all the time when someone upload a video?

Hi Tom,

please asking your server support about cronjob issue. not all server having same configurations and not always using wget
