Automatically creating all proxies

There is a special script, makeallproxies.py, located in the aaserver cgi-bin that can be used to generate/ensure all clips have a proxy. To avoid problems with permissions, it's best to run the script as the same user as your webserver, in my case this is "www-data". You can check this by looking at the owner flags of any "manually" made proxy clips (try an ls -l, in your htdocs/media/.cache, actually the ".cache" directory itself was most likely created by the webserver).

To run the makeallproxies script, from the terminal cd to the aa cgi-bin directory (in my case /usr/lib/cgi-bin/aa), and type:

sudo -u www-data python makeallproxies.py
