A Job can be launched or re-run by simply dropping a text file in a specified directory. This directory is specified in
on the job polling preferences page. If the job is successfully launched, the extension is on the file is changed from
*.txt to *. running. If the job fails to launch successfully, the extension will be changed from *.txt to *.err and the
error encountered should be added to the bottom of the file as a comment. If the job completes successfully, the
extension will be changed from *. running to *. done and if there is an unexpected failure, the extension will be
changed from *. running to *.err. The polled file can have any name with a *.txt file extension and must follow the
following syntax (lines that start with a ';' are considered comments and are not parsed) :

;Optional Commands
;--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;JobID = New JobID, if not specified the JobID from the template will be used which means
; the template will be modified. This option should only be used when
; UsePre-EncodedFiles is yes or if the job template is set to use pre-encoded files.
;Title = New Title
;Subtitle = New Subtitle
;Date = New Date
;MenuTheme = Full path to new menu to use instead of the one specified in the template
;DiscLabelFile = Full path to new disc label file
;DiscLabelPrnFile = Full path to new disc label PRN file (if the job template is not set to use a PRN file for the disc
label, this option will set it to do so)
;DiscLabelBackground = Full path to new disc background bitmap
;CaseWrapPrnFile = Full path the new case wrap PRN file (if the job template is not set to use a PRN file for the
case wrap, this option will set it to do so)
;CaseWrapBackground = Full path to new case wrap background bitmap
;UsePre-EncodedFiles (this interface is still supported but is supersceded by 'UsePre-CapturedFiles') = yes|no
;UsePre-CapturedFiles = yes|no
;Pre-EncodedFileType (this interface is still supported but is supersceded by 'Pre-CapturedFileType') =
ElementaryStreams|ProgramStreams|VobFiles
;Pre-CapturedFileType = ElementaryStreams|ProgramStreams|VobFiles|FilesToEncode
;Pre-EncodedFile (this interface is still supported but is supersceded by 'Pre-CapturedFile') = this parameter is a
coma delimited list whose elements depend on the
; type. This command is repeated for each segment to be combined onto this video title.
; For ElementaryStreams
; <Required: Full path to video stream>,<Required: Full path to audio stream>[,<Full path to thumbnail
bitmap>[,<length of segment in hh:mm:ss>[,<Segment title>]]]
;
; For ProgramStreams
; <Required: Full path to muxed program stream>[,<Full path to thumbnail bitmap>[,<length of segment in
hh:mm:ss>[,<Segment title>]]]
;
; For VOBFiles
; <Required: Full path to VOB file>[,<Full path to thumbnail bitmap>[,<length of segment in
hh:mm:ss>[,<Segment title>]]]
;
;Pre-CapturedFile = this parameter is a coma delimited list whose elements are determined by the prefix.
; This command is repeated for each segment to be combined onto this video title.
; coma delimited fields must be prefixed by one of the following:
; MUXED: Full path to muxed or video elemntary stream file
; VIDEO: Full path to video elementary stream file
; LENGTH: Segment length in hh:mm:ss (this is required to set the bitrate)
; AUDIO: Full path to audio elementary stream file
