Would it be possible to have PMS do the necessary media conversion (when syncing media + external subtitles to an iPad, for example) during the other Scheduled Tasks, for example overnight? I want to tell PMS to sync X episodes of show Y to my iPad, but I don't want to listen to the fans on my Mac Mini going crazy for the next hour. I don't mind if they do that when I'm asleep, though.
Edit: Also, I usually sync 5 or 10 unwatched episodes of a show to my iPad, so when I'm watching the show at my desk and an episode is almost at the end (but not quite, just close enough for PMS to mark it 'watched'), the fans go full blast again.
