It would be great if you give the option to optimize movies automatically via cron job in the settings. Have you thought about it?
There’s already an existing suggestion discussing an option to create optimized versions as a scheduled task. Please comment/vote in that thread in order to help us avoid distracting or cannibalizing votes.
Unless I’m missing some unique aspect of your suggestion I’ll close this thread as a duplicate.
