About Task Priority


 

SnapStream allows you to create a wide variety of tasks for the system to process, and it's possible to create more tasks than the system can run at a single time.

Any node can perform Clipping, moving, and other simple tasks
.

Only nodes that have the Processor Intensive option enabled (in the Machine settings page) may perform ShowSqueeze
 (transcode) and SmartSkip (commercial detection).

How does SnapStream prioritize tasks in the queue?
  • SnapStream processes tasks of the same type in the order in which they were submitted or created.
  • Clips will still be created, one at a time, even if all nodes are performing the maximum number of tasks.
  • Transcodes of clips shorter than 15 minutes will be "jumped" to the front of the transcoding queue.
  • An algorithm limits the number of processor-intensive tasks that can be performed on a single server node.

If you have questions about how the Task queue is handled, contact SnapStream support.
