My use-case: streaming video to a Linux virtual mount and want compression of said video files on the fly.

Rclone has an experimental remote for compression but this stuff is important to me so that’s no good. I know rsync can do it but will it work for video files, and how I get rsync to warch the virtual mount-point and automatically compress and move over each individual file to rclone for upload to the Cloud? This is mostly to save on upload bandwidth and storage costs.

Thanks!

    If you want to do it at the filesystem level, which is what it sounds like you’re asking for, it sounds like this could do it. I have not used it.

    If you want to just watch a local directory or directory tree for a file being closed (like, the stream is complete) and then run a command on it (like, to compress and upload it), it sounds like you could use inotifywait with the close_write event.
