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. > [@Optimization as Scheduled Task](https://forums.plex.tv/t/optimization-as-scheduled-task/770253): > > Would be great if we could have Optimizations run as scheduled task so that they can run in hours when the server isn’t being used. Example: I have a Smart Playlist that automatically optimizes anything added to it for mobile. Mostly for my kids’ Tablets. Would be great if I could schedule any optimization for that to run from say 1-7AM without having to manually pause and resume. ---
