MediaRich Hot Folders

The MediaRich Hot Folders mechanism allows batch processing jobs to be initiated by copying source media files into a specific directory that MediaRich is monitoring. When files are dropped into a Hot Folder, MediaRich processes the files according to the one or more scripts associated with that Hot Folder. After processing, the original files are either moved to a "processed" directory or deleted.

The Hot Folder mechanism supports some conventions as to where the results of processing are placed and how errors are reported, but the Hot Folder script is free to write results and status information to any location accessible by MediaRich.
