Forum topic: Massive video loading / Batch uploading/encoding... using SQL scripts...

Hi!
I should transcode lots of videos (20.000), so there's no option to go to "Create content -> video" by hand :)
Filling the tables using .sql scripts will be the best option probably.

I was looking which tables are created (and which fields) by default, just when I upload a video (before cron transcodes it), and it seems easy to fill with the data. Table op_videos_files with the path to my video, the filemime will be always the same, etc...
but, BUT, in the op_videos table, there's a "secret" (it's called secret haha) that looks like a hash or something.

Can I avoid to load this field? It will be auto-generated? Or... how can I create a hash file that looks to be valid?

I know that once I load the videos, I should leave the computer encoding several days, but it's not a problem right now.

Any orientation will be appreciated.

Thanks!

I integrated node_import with op_video for a client and it works really well, but it was written specifically for their requirements. I need to make it more general before I can release it.

Sounds good. I already used node_import to import (uuh..) several other fields of information. The videos are still waiting hehe
The dev version sounds really powerful. All is included on that version!!! :)))
