The Codem Scheduler is part of the Codem open source video transcoder platform. This application manages the scheduling and handling of jobs via a webfrontend and an API.

For documentation and general info, see http://transcodem.com/

You'll need a Ruby on Rails installation, served by the webserver of your choice. Please note: Ruby 1.9.3 or greater is required, Ruby 2.0 is preferred. See http://rubyonrails.org/download for installation instructions.

We've prepared standalone installers for Ubuntu, CentOS and Mac OS X. These packages contain everything you need to run the Scheduler and Transcoder, no additional installs are needed. The packages can be downloaded from the Codem website at http://transcodem.com/installation/

The preferred database backend for the Scheduler is either MySQL or SQLite. One of these should be available to the Scheduler. If you're using MySQL, you can enter your connection details in config/database.yml.

If you want to use SQLite, you need to perform some changes. In Gemfile, change mysql2 to sqlite3 and run bundle install. In config/database.yml, remove the username and password, and specify the location of your database. The preferred location is db/codem_schedule_#{environment}.db.
