VCS’ temporary dir (and its contents) is not removed on cleanup. Space in /dev/shm is wasted as a result.

Patch attached.

Internal: Stale code from prior versions, numsecs inside process() uses mplayer’s value instead of the best value to determine video length (and keep or discard timestamps).

As a side-effect, newer code being more strict about array vs string handling can fail easily.

A great utilty... I’ve been using this for a couple of years now (it runs every night as a cron job).

I’ve been looking at cleaning up the output that cron captures from each of its commands and stores as a system email.

I’ve enabled the -Wc option to prevent coloured output. Mostly this works except near the start of the script when it says:
Settings from /home/danc/.vcs/vcs.conf:
bg_heading
This is still shown in green. Bug?

Currently the colour only stops after the option is found.

Here’s a patch against 1.13.2 for mistaken approximate size calculation.

Self-notes about the patch:

• More accurate rounding → Discarded. I went for rounding by excess
• Leading 0 in fractionary units was not present in the original → BUG
  Sample: Samsung HD sample, 1080pto720p version

Workaround introduced in 1.0.7a, needs refinement

Even though they’re ignored, it might fail on some files. May be due to the 5 frames hack.

When a timestamp is present in more than one set (highlights/std/extended) there’s no need to re-capture it.

font_filename is ignored in 1.12

An alternative in the form of (boolean) nonlatin_filenames or similar should be added.

Safe length measuring, when probing the video length, prints only the number of seconds and milliseconds, it would be better to display a more readable format.

Parsing of the “-U” option (optional argument) is incorrect, it always receives an argument (empty if none provided) which must be shifted manually. Currently it’s only shifted if provided explicitly.

“–fullname” is not affected since it doesn’t take any arguments.
