Being based on System V, it’s quite different to most other Unix-like OSes, might be a good target for x-platform enhancements

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

finger is not installed/enabled by default in at least FC12. Replace it with something better like grepping /etc/passwd

The spinner, used to show progress adds a lot of overkill just to give some feedback while working

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! :)

The chunked transfer encoding is necessary to serve files of unknown size (created dynamically)

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…

Possibly using a dynamic ZIP file

See http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/zip/ZipOutputStream.html

This is necessary for ZIP files constructed on the fly.

The current webserver implementation doesn’t support that.

Originally suggested by Dogn Redhammer

Fails on some files (gets stuck forever while capturing the first frame).

Happens often with Matroska. 1.0.7a introduced a workaround (-Wo) with ffmpeg’s argument order that worked with other file types.

Accurate readings, free, ads-free what more can I ask for! Hope you don’t mind, I modified it and replaced the status bar icons :) Kindly add history of network type used like what my other apps that I am using (2g, 3g ,4g, lte network monitor by Sun Light) for me to get rid of it because of it’s unlimited ads and slow loading. Thank you very much!

This is a continuation of  FS#354 .

Temporarily using pre-rendered PNGs in 1.5.1, should try to re-design icons to render properly on Android 5.0 and up.

Running in Fedora Core 10 i686 (KVM) yields one 128k frame less and a different “theoretical size” than in Debian amd64, in one sample, and the same number of frames but 2 bytes less in another.
