Task Description

Reported by Phate https://https://outlyer.net/2019-11-26:vcs-1-13-4-released/comment-page-1/#comment-60724

I have vcs installed via brew on MacOS Sonoma. This may not be something you can test, but maybe you can offer suggestions as to what might be the issue:
When I use vcs on local volumes, everything works as expected as far as the output image file permissions go. However, if I attempt to output a vcs contact sheet to a smb server volume, the file has no read or write permissions for user, group or other. Normal terminal commands like touch, mkdir, etc create files with proper permissions from the same terminal shell.

Another thing that is a little bit annoying, but isn't a very big deal, is the fact that videos made from a phone where the image is rotated in metadata, doesn't produce a correct aspect ratio. For example, a video that is stored as 1920×1080 (16:9), but shown as 1080×1920 (9:16), due to metadata rotation, vcs will create thumbnails in 1920×1080 aspect ratio (16:9) but show them rotated correctly, which means the image at 9:16 gets squashed to fit into 16:9. Like I said, not a very huge deal, but it looks somewhat silly and it would be great if it was possible to fix.
I've tried to see if I could set the aspect parameter but it doesn't seem to do much when the rotation is made in metadata. Metadata usually state something like:
>
> "`bash
Side data:
displaymatrix: rotation of -90.00 degrees
"`

Recently got an update of ImageMagick:
$ magick --version
Version: ImageMagick 7.1.1-33 Q16-HDRI x86_64 22263 https://imagemagick.org
Copyright: (C) 1999 ImageMagick Studio LLC
License: https://imagemagick.org/script/license.php
Features: Cipher DPC HDRI Modules OpenCL OpenMP(4.5) 
Delegates (built-in): bzlib cairo djvu fftw fontconfig freetype heic jbig jng jp2 jpeg jxl lcms lqr ltdl lzma openexr pangocairo png raqm raw rsvg tiff webp wmf x xml zip zlib zstd
Compiler: gcc (14.1)
Because of that, the "convert" command now gives a deprecation warning:
WARNING: The convert command is deprecated in IMv7, use "magick"
Trying to do that, replacing all the calls to 'convert' for 'magick', the temp images seem to be problematic (I've added a few printouts of the suspected code blocks):
[i] Capturing in range [04:49.49-19:17.95]. Total length: 20:25.35
[i] Generating capture #1/4 (04:49.49)...
magick: no images found for operation `-geometry' at CLI arg 7 @ error/operation.c/CLIOption/5479.
magick: magick -background 'transparent' -fill 'transparent' '/dev/shm/vcs.SGteWR/vcs-ZQ0dJj-cap-000001.png'   \( -geometry 267x200! \)  -flatten   \( -box '#000000aa' -fill 'White' -stroke none -pointsize '9'     -gravity 'SouthEast' -font '/usr/share/fonts/TTF/DejaVuSans.ttf' -strokewidth 3 -annotate +5+5     ' 04:49.49 ' \) -flatten -gravity None  -flatten  \( -background black +clone -shadow 50x2+4+4 -background none \) +swap -flatten -trim +repage  -flatten  '/dev/shm/vcs.SGteWR/vcs-zQhKDd.png'
If I try to cp those two temp images on the line below the 'magick' command, they become 0 byte files.
The video renderer ffmpeg has also gone through a couple of steps of upgrades over the years, I now have:
$ ffmpeg -version
ffmpeg version n6.1.1 Copyright (c) 2000-2023 the FFmpeg developers
built with gcc 13.2.1 (GCC) 20230801
So commands like '-vframes' is now '-frames:v' and so on. No errors, just friendly suggestions in the man page. I replaced those also, but still the same problem.
I should have listened more carefully when our kindergarten teacher went through Bash. ;) IOW, I'm sure it's something simple I am not understanding.
N.b. I can still use vcs with the normal 'convert' command, but depending on how "militia force" serious the ImageMagick gang is going to be about deprecation warnings and removal of old code, it might stop working at some point in the future and I think that would be sad.
Any ideas? Thanks! :)

With the new script I'm getting issues the following error:
No compatible version of getopt in path, can't continue.
Enhanced getopt (i.e. GNU getopt) is required

Added by Darko in comments: https://outlyer.net/2019-11-26:vcs-1-13-4-released/#comment-52719

The homebrew's version of vcs has this at line 186:
declare GETOPT=/opt/homebrew/opt/gnu-getopt/bin/getopt
While Toni's just uses whatever is on path:
declare GETOPT=getopt
… which on macOS is non-gnu version of getopt.

Added by X in comments: https://outlyer.net/2019-11-26:vcs-1-13-4-released/#comment-53401

The issue is on line 186. Brew version has this:
declare GETOPT=/usr/local/opt/gnu-getopt/bin/getopt
The trunk version has:
declare GETOPT=getopt
When I backport the most important change you did in the trunk version ('`fx:image.mean` > `fx:mean`') then indeed the error messages on '.mean*100' are gone.

Hey,

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

https://outlyer.net/2017-05-26:vcs-1-13-3-released/#comment-32413:

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.

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

Possible design elements:

  2. Header text: Provider
  3. Timestamp: Time of the last update
  4. Large icon: Network type, bigger?
