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

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…

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.
 123 Feature RequestLow Avoid repeating captures in different sets Closed
100%
1.13 Task Description

Currently the extended set always contains the standard captures. It might be nice to add some time-shift to them so that they’re different.

 159 Feature RequestLow Add alternative for font_filename Closed
100%
1.12.2 Task Description

font_filename is ignored in 1.12

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

 81 Feature RequestVery Low Add profiles support Closed
100%
1.12 Task Description

Implementation notes:

  • Reserved namespace: :<WHATEVER>
  • Built-in profiles won’t use reserved names
  • System profiles will always take precedence over built-in profiles
  • ~ profiles take precedence over site (/usr and /usr/local) profiles
  • /usr/local takes precedence over /usr. Both are searched
  • No such thing as a default profile (this would be redundant to configuration files)
  • Profiles can’t depend/include/load other profiles
  • Profile names are reflected in file names

Specific files will be loadable with --config

Markup

  • First and last five lines
    • vcs:conf: required to load with --config. Profiles aren’t required to have the mark.
    • vcs:desc: provides descriptions for lists (use -p :list to display)
