[FEATURE] Trans-code videos and run-pipelines in one stage (or just same time) instead of two
Need the ability to launch both transcode and (test) pipelines at the same time for overnight / background runs
This doesn't mean they have to actually occur at the same time, just occur at the same time from the user's perspective via 1 button click (they can still occur sequentially in the actual backend)
@mattdawkins could we solve this with a new pipeline that simply concatenates the two pipelines in question? That would be a very general solution to this and other problems like it.
Are you using "pipeline" in the generic sense or the "VIAME pipeline" sense? The latter is not possible, because transcoding is not a viame pipeline process, it's handled by dive.
From the user's perspective, no matter how we implement it, there needs to be a new option during ingest to invoke this operation.
I meant "VIAME pipeline", with the hope that we could solve this completely out of band. But since that's not possible, we can look at a way of doing it in software.
We could make a pipeline that transcodes videos into whatever format you need, and concurrently runs the analytics on the data.
It's a little cumbersome from the GUI perspective though and I hit this the other night (I wanted to start a run before I went to bed on a video, but had to wait 30 minutes for it to transcode before I could set up a run on the data)
Might be able to make a KWIVER CLI option that adds two pipes together to prevent having to duplicate pipes, then it would be a CLI option to output transcoded videos to some file.
Though I think a pipeline dropdown in the import option would be a little cumbersome as opposed to using the main data display / data list to launch pipelines on multiple sequences.
That said, a pipeline dropdown on dataset import might be useful for image enhancement pipelines, something we'd want to add for those (I could see listing them first then processing pipelines for immediate run, longer term)
