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

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.

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.

-o is a GNU extension, supported in Linux and FreeBSD

Unsupported in SunOS, OpenBSD?

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.

Hey,
I'm using VCS via Homebrew Install (https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/vcs#default) and since the last update of imagemagick (?) I get dozens of error messages:
convert: Expected operator at '.mean*100' @ error/fx.c/GetOperator/2408

Confirmed to happen on ImageMagick 7.1 on Linux, the contact sheet is generated but blank frame evasion is skipped

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
"`

Known bug, app isn’t always notified.

On Huawei G8. App doesn’t automatically execute when phone is turned off then back on. I protected the app and this seems to have solved the problem.

This task depends on reports of such issue.

So far all reports are on Marshmallow:

Reported by Charles Kanegeni 20/02/2016 on Google Play

New issue Great app, have always used it. Just upgraded to marshmallow and now it won’t even start. What’s up with that? From Android 5 I had problems, plus doesn’t support dual Sim phones. This is the new direction, twin Sim phones. Please work it out.

Issue with auto start on boot I’ve had this app for some time now, but it will not auto start on boot on my current phone (Galaxy S5, Marshmallow 6.01)

[...]the bar icon is vanishing after a while

Reported by Terry Parrott

Reports that the app won’t auto load despite having the option enabled.

Reported on Oreo.

Presumably related to FS#370.

The app force-closes on device boot when load on boot is enabled.

Once the boot is complete it behaves normally.

Seen in Oreo.

Presumably related to FS#369.

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.

Due to the use of ~ in the revision tag

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

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

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.

Example given:

$ find $DIR \(-name "*.avi" -o -name "*.wmv" -o -name "*.mpg" -o -name "*.mp4" \) -exec vcs -dt -ds -n 12 -c2 -H 200 --jpeg --quiet {} \;

Works on avi, mpg and mp4 but fails on wmv with
Failed to capture frame (at second xxx.000)

Processing the same file directly works:

$ vcs -dt -ds -n 12 -c2 -H 200 --jpeg --quiet File.wmv

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.
