Suggestion: Pause with autoresume after x minutes

Open notlebowski opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Handbrake is quite resource intensive and sometimes you want to pause it, so other processes on your computer finish quicker. Pressing pause is already possible. But sometimes you're in a situation that you need to finish another task, but that one takes more than an hour to finish and you prefer to leave your computer crunching the numbers... Sometimes you just want it to work at night,

It would be nice if you could tell it to autoresume after 2 hours.

It could be implemented like this:

You press pause with a click and it will just pause (like it does now) You press pause with click-and-hold and a window appears in which you can select:

  • pause 5 minutes
  • pause 10 minutes
  • pause 15 minutes
  • pause 30 minutes
  • pause 1 hour
  • pause 2 hours
  • pause 3 hours
  • pause 4 hours

Would love to see this feature even when you close handbrake an reopen it --> rebooting windows for several reasons and resuming afterwards.

This is a MUST feature ! One should be able to pause the list transcoding and be able to resume it at a later time predefined or manually triggered with a... "Resume" button in the task list ! ❤😁👍 🦚
