If you want to start further processes after your uploads are finished, in the templates VidUp can be configured to execute files, after each upload, after all uploads of a template are done or after all uploads are done.

When VidUp executes the configured files it passes also an argument to the executable, which contains a file path to a file with more information about the finished uploads. Care! The information files are deleted on the next start of VidUp!

Here is an example for a batch (.bat) file, which writes the argument to a file:

for /f „tokens=2 delims==“ %%a in (‚wmic OS Get localdatetime /value‘) do set „dt=%%a“
set „YY=%dt:~2,2%“ & set „YYYY=%dt:~0,4%“ & set „MM=%dt:~4,2%“ & set „DD=%dt:~6,2%“
set „HH=%dt:~8,2%“ & set „Min=%dt:~10,2%“ & set „Sec=%dt:~12,2%“ & set „MS=%dt:~15,3%“

echo %1 > args_all_%YYYY%-%MM%-%DD%_%HH%-%Min%-%Sec%-%MS%.txt

The first block just sets variables with date and time information to generate a unique filename. Within this file (which is stored in the same folder as the batch file) is the filepath to the file with more information about the upload result, e.g.:

D:\Daten\Username\Documents\VidUp\automationinfo_uploadfinished_all_2023-10-11_20-00-52-448.json

The content of this files can look like this:

{
„uploadedFiles“: {
„E:\\VidUp Tests\\test4.mp4“: „Finished“,
„E:\\VidUp Tests\\test3.mkv“: „Finished“,
„E:\\VidUp Tests\\test2.mkv“: „Failed“
}
}

Or in the case it was executed after all uploads of a template were finished:

{
„templateName“: „TestTemplate“,
„uploadedFiles“: {
„E:\\VidUp Tests\\test4.mp4“: „Finished“,
„E:\\VidUp Tests\\test3.mkv“: „Finished“
}
}
