Known bug, app isn’t always notified.

Reproducible switching network mode from 3G/2G to 2G-only

Reported by Willy Romano 23/03/2017 on the Google Play

On Huawei G8. App doesn’t automatically execute when phone is turned off then back on. I protected the app and this seems to have solved the problem.

This task depends on reports of such issue.

So far all reports are on Marshmallow:

Reported by Charles Kanegeni 20/02/2016 on Google Play

New issue Great app, have always used it. Just upgraded to marshmallow and now it won’t even start. What’s up with that? From Android 5 I had problems, plus doesn’t support dual Sim phones. This is the new direction, twin Sim phones. Please work it out.

Reported by Simon Howard 18/12/2016 on Google Play

Issue with auto start on boot I’ve had this app for some time now, but it will not auto start on boot on my current phone (Galaxy S5, Marshmallow 6.01)

From feedback, by Rownah Adriano:

[...] Can you please put an option to turn off the notification if mobile data is turned off?

From feedback, by Martin Buch:

Would like an option to only display status bar icon when roaming. Its really only when roaming I need this information as the stock network type indication is replaced with an ‘R’ on my Nexus 6P (when roaming).

Many phones seem to do that.

Theming support as initially intended ( FS#237 ) is not possible.

With the switch to vector graphics adding alternative icons becomes fairly “cheap” app-size-wise and many users have requested alternative ones. This task tracks these suggestions.

  Needs to indicate using LTE icon not just 4g icon good app if you add this I will make it a 5
  
  
• Jon Manilenio 29/04/2016 on Google Play
  Nice I wish there were more designs though.
  
  
• Miles Vino 23/04/2017 on Google Play
  Appreciate this handy app! Please consider a simpler icon, without the square, so it blends with Google’s material design. Thanks!
  
  
• MJ Cortez 02/06/2017 on Google Play
  4G should be displayed as LTE instead of [4]
  
  
• Prince Priyam Borah 08/08/2017 on Google Play
  Plz add the stylish 4G logo. Your app only shows 4. Else, everything is ok.

[...]the bar icon is vanishing after a while

Requested by Arnellord Bondoc 19/12/2015 on Google Play

Accurate readings, free, ads-free what more can I ask for! Hope you don’t mind, I modified it and replaced the status bar icons :) Kindly add history of network type used like what my other apps that I am using (2g, 3g ,4g, lte network monitor by Sun Light) for me to get rid of it because of it’s unlimited ads and slow loading. Thank you very much!

This is a continuation of  FS#354 .

Temporarily using pre-rendered PNGs in 1.5.1, should try to re-design icons to render properly on Android 5.0 and up.

Take advantage of Nougat style notifications to display more information to the user.

See https://material.io/guidelines/patterns/notifications.html

Possible design elements:

1. “App icon”: Network type? AFAICT setting it to the actual app will replace the status bar icon.
2. Header text: Provider
3. Timestamp: Time of the last update
4. Large icon: Network type, bigger?

Material design icons are supposed to be white according to comments found online and most apps.

(I can’t find an actual upstream reference)

Since the introduction of Material, icons should be white. The black icons only display as such in a subset on devices.

Good App
This is the app what i looking for and it would be great if could add
a notification sound when a network loss

Feedback from andres argumedo

andres argumedo 17/10/2014 22:38

Great app but
This is a great app I really like it it would be nice if it could also display
the data traffic not only the network type, like having the H+ and the up/down
arrows showing the data traffic and this app would be awesome!

Only feasible if it won’t add unnecessary complexity.

Submitted by Tom:  FS#222  Display provider name in status bar

Not feasible in the actual status bar, but can be done in the notification.

Gradle allows to define fields on the generated class BuildConfig. This should be enough to discard the current per-build-type classes.

Example: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24518940/custom-fields-for-a-build-type-in-gradle

In the past BuildConfig.DEBUG wasn’t reliable (when combining Eclipse and ADT), but on Android Studio with Gradle it can be used safely and hence there’s no need to duplicate the functionality.

Possibly using a dynamic ZIP file

See http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/zip/ZipOutputStream.html

First version allowing multiple file sharing.
Possibly release early and keep as alpha or beta to test further.

This is necessary for ZIP files constructed on the fly.

The current webserver implementation doesn’t support that.

The chunked transfer encoding is necessary to serve files of unknown size (created dynamically)

The progress bar should reflect when the size of the shared file is unknown.

Meta-task depending on tasks scheduled for the 1.3 release

Version 1.3 added a package but has unnecessarily code both inside and outside of it

Fails on some files (gets stuck forever while capturing the first frame).

Happens often with Matroska. 1.0.7a introduced a workaround (-Wo) with ffmpeg’s argument order that worked with other file types.

/dev/shm isn’t really intended as an alternate temporary location, and VCS’ temporary files can easily grow too large for it too.

As a possible alternative offer a first-run choice of temp-dir (maybe suggesting /dev/shm).

When the resulting contact sheet is too thin, the meta-information header is cramped and fields overlap.

Original report by Dougn Redhammer

vcs hangs with some RM files.

Tracing shows it gets stuck in mplayer_identify.

MPlayer can play the files fine from the terminal. Although it exits with «MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: uninit_vcodec».

I can reproduce the abrupt termination, it happens when using Real’s native decoder (w64codecs, /usr/lib/codecs/drvc.so). Using FFMpeg’s decoder (MPlayer’s -vc ffrv30) MPlayer exits normally.

I can’t reproduce the hang either way.

The available configuration options need a serious review and renaming. Old names will be accepted with warnings for either two releases or six months.

Also, should provide a sample configuration file so that the syntax and options are clearer.

As reported by Dirk Reiners (paraphrased)

Files incorrectly reporting too short length (unlike too long), pass the safe_length_measure check ⇒ This prevents correcting length.

See http://libav.org/, Jan 27 2012.
Also http://libav.org/index.html#fftools_rename for changes to the syntax.

Must change to avprobe/ffprobe and/or avconv.

Second, my dvd-drive is useless atm, but i remember previously piping dvd-ouput from mplayer into ffmpeg via a fifo and finding the info generated to be much better than mplayer-alone – for one thing, it won’t ‘downmix’ 6-channel audio automatically. Don’t know if that would be useful to you. The syntax was something like:-

mkfifo piped.vob &&
mplayer dvd:// -dumpstream -dumpfile piped.vob & \
ffmpeg -i piped.vob

…See what you think…

Thanks Toni. I was hoping I could simply run `$ vcs-1.13.2.bash -? **/*.mp4` to create contact sheets for all videos in all subfolders, but it sounds like I’ll have to use a wrapper script. Would you consider adding this in a future release for a donation?

My reply:

I guess you’re using zsh-ish globbing there.
That’s not something I use so I didn’t even think of the case where recursing could be so simple.

It was a bit of an overlook on my part not to have the option to output to the same directory as the video, probably because recursion always required a wrapper in my head.

I.e. create file sample#.avi

Run vcs on sample#.avi -> sample#.avi.png is created.
Run vcs again. sample#.avi-1.png should be created, but sed generates an error.

Hi I am trying to thumbnail some HDR content is there anyway to insert ffmpeg filters in
-vf zscale=t=linear:npl=100,format=gbrpf32le,zscale=p=bt709,tonemap=tonemap=mobius:desat=0,zscale=t=bt709:m=bt709:r=tv,format=yuv420p

Thanks

I’m also trying to do some HDR content and pass the -vf info to ffmpeg. I can’t get it to work even using a wrapper script.

It always comes up with awk errors, starting with “unterminated regexp”.

Is there any chance of updating vcs to support manual passing of those -vf arguments to ffmpeg?

HDR content is very common nowadays…

https://outlyer.net/2017-05-26:vcs-1-13-3-released/#comment-32423

I’m using vcs 1.13.2 on ubuntu and ended up doing it by adding the line:

-vf ‘zscale=t=linear:npl=100,format=gbrpf32le,zscale=p=bt709,tonemap=tonemap=hable:desat=0,zscale=t=bt709:m=bt709:r=tv,format=yuv420p’ \

at line 2203, in the ffmpeg_capture() function where it sets the ffmpeg command line options.

Couldn’t work out how to do it with a wrapper script.
