To mimic the original way of working

Once the user has chosen to use only a set of icons, allow them to choose which of the two.

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

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

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.

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.

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)

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.
  
  

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?

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

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.

HDR isn’t well supported as reported by remlap and ThaDr.

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.

Meta-task depending on tasks scheduled for the 1.4 release.

Previous release:  FS#234  (1.3.1)

Asked by Bob on the blog

Would it be possible to somehow specify to only screenshot half of the video image (for 180 side-by-side VR videos)?

Or would this require new features to be added to the VCS?

It just makes more sense

Useful for debugging, likely not useful for users since the command-line already overrides configurable arguments

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

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.

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.

Rendering on RTL devices is does not work properly due to alignment problems.

Attached: Screen grabs from the pre-release report on an Arabic device.

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

(I can’t find an actual upstream reference) Found at http://www.androiddocs.com/design/style/iconography.html

Dark icons are displayed white in practice.
