Hello everybody.

First, I'd like to thank "mydatery" for such good questions which I'd want to answer:

1) The cron "bx_videos" runs every 5 minutes; but when processing is not completed (for example there are 20 new videos, but only 2 are processed) it will process the other videos every time the main "cron.php" runs (by default every minute). So, basically if there are many videos, they will be processed every minute after the first 5 minutes have passed.

2) see more Only 2 videos are processed during the process I described above. But this value can be easily changed in "Administration -> Modules -> Flash Apps -> Video Player -> Settings -> Maximum number of processing files". Just increase this value and your videos will be processed faster.

3) Now the most interesting part - even the 5-minute interval can be changed. You will need to do that in your database (basically phpMyAdmin). You need the table "sys_cron_jobs" where you will find the 5th row, whose name is "bx_videos". You will need to change the value for the "time" column of this row. By default it shows */5 which means "every 5 minutes". You can change this to "*/10" to run it every 10 minutes or to */60 to run it every hour.
After making these changes, you will necessarily need to clean the cache in your Administration panel. You may only clean the db cache.

4) Processing time of every video depends on its size and free server resources. Big videos (100 megabytes or more) may be processed during a minute or more.

That's all I wanted to say. Please ask more questions if you have them.
