Scheduling

The scheduler restricts when the engine may start new jobs.

Creating a window

Go to Settings → Schedule and add a window with:

• Start time — when encoding may begin (e.g. 22:00)
• End time — when it must stop (e.g. 07:00)
• Days of week — which days apply

Multiple windows are supported. Windows spanning midnight are handled correctly.

At the window boundary

When a window ends mid-encode, the engine pauses. The in-progress job is suspended and resumes at the next window start. No data is lost.

Manual override

With a schedule active, you can still force-start from the header bar. The override lasts until the next boundary.

No schedule

If no windows are configured, the engine runs whenever it is in Running state.
