DPaquin Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I need and advise. I am about to create a program which is to be executed in the background. I was thinking in getting it to process with "Perform script server". The program is to scan a folder and when a mpeg file is found it would convert it to mp4 format, the app would be called "CMpegToMp4". My question, is would it be possible to execute "CMpegToMp4 within FileMaker Pro through "Perform script server"? Thanks in advance!

Wim Decorte Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 The way that I typically solve this scenario is by creating either a background service application or a web service that does the folder-scanning and the conversion, then talks to FMS through the XML or Data API to do whatever needs done data-wise. I'd be reluctant to use the FMS scirpting engine (through PSoS or through a server-side schedule) to try and run outside processes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
