N8n

I’ve self hosted an n8n to automate video uploads to youtube. The idea was pretty simple - when I put an mp4 file in a specific dir on my nas, n8n would pick it up, as well as a metadata.json file. The metadata file would contain things like the title and description, and it would upload this to youtube. I started creating this automation and pretty soon had something that resembled the finished workflow. I started testing it out. However, I ran into a problem. I had a Read/Write files from disk node in my workflow, and whenever I manually executed it, it would take way too long to finish - a couple of minutes. My first thought was OK - the video files are pretty large, and we’re likely loading them into memory. Then again, it should not take that long, as the video I was testing with was about 200MB in size. I tried playing around with it a bit more but could not get it to work properly. The spare time I had ran out, so I left it as is to continue with it when I next have time for it. ...
