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.

Recap of related suggestions:

• Pamy Srt 10/01/2016 on Google Play
  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.
  
  

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.

This is a meta-item depending on bugs/features required to complete before releasing nettype 1.6

Previous:  FS#361  (1.5.2),  FS#353  (1.5.1),  FS#215  (1.5),  FS#252  (1.4),  FS#203  (1.3)

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.

From feedback, by Rownah Adriano:

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

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.

When a frame evasion is tried and given up, the chosen timestamp should be the original instead of the last attempt

This is a meta-item depending on bugs/features required to complete before releasing vcs 2.0.

v2.0 will be a rewrite in Python.

Previous: FS#153

/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).

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.

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.

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…

This is a meta-item depending on bugs/features required to complete before releasing vcs 1.14

Previous:  FS#152   FS#218   FS#224   FS#250   FS#366 

Introduce new names in 1.12 ( FS#120 )

Remove old names in 1.13 or 1.14 (this)

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.

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.

Timestamps could use some tweaking: e.g. centering on their background and rounded corners
