every time you add media to your playlist you wil also produce work for the feedbeat-import-bot (tm pending). to avoid boredom while you are just watching a bot doing its work you do only get a feedback that your willing has been understood. everything else is managed in the background.
to give you an idea what happens and when you can take a peek onto the job monitor. the given “position in queue” indicates the job´s absolute position within the queue. e.g. if your first item is at position “312” there are 311 other jobs from other users processed first.
the bot is able to handle about 1500 - 3000 jobs per hour right now.
please note: in case you delete unprocessed items from your playlist the queue will NOT be updated. or in other words: the job-monitor has nothing to do with your status quo of your playlist(s) and channel(s). in case a deleted item is about to be processed the job bot will simply cancel this specific task.
this tool was intentionally written for the operator only. but well… it looks too cool to be hidden. so it is more a gimmick than something you should take too seriously ;).
