i wonder how difficult and CPU intensive it would be to add a component like #Glaze to and image upload processor...
Like, take you federation post, when you attach media, could glaze or #imageMagick or even #ffmpeg process the upload? Users could opt-in or out to having protections applied to an upload. I get that it's an AI arms race now, but i guess this is the next actionable option?
Send USB vendor control transfers (or calls to #libusb)
GUI
:BoostOK:
I really don't want to write code two times (and dislike Android app dev), but recently realized that I'd really like for my upcoming #P2Pro viewer to run on Android too.
But if there is no such thing, I'll stick to desktop only for now :/
Bei der Unterstützung des JXL-Formats gibt es, insbesondere bei den Webbrowsern, kein klares Bild. Durch Apples Ja zum Bildformat für Safari und die erweiterte Unterstützung durch FFmpeg, ändert sich die Situation eventuell.
Footage looks like an interesting project. Right now I use FFmpeg on the command line because of all the additional features and control that FFmpeg provides.
During the summer of the George Floyd protests, in the first year of pandemic, my pony surprised me by sending a video of him doing a drum cover of Sepultura Refuse/Resist while in rubber and pony gear. I had posted the video on Twitter, but that account's deleted now. I'll post the video here if I ever discover the incantation to reduce it to postable size. #rubber#ponyplay#drumming#sepultura
magic incantation to squish the video was -vf "scale=iw/2:ih/2" -vcodec libx264 -preset veryslow
-vf to rescale was the most important to get it under the 40M limit. -vcodec is so mastodon doesn't try to re-encode it. not sure the compression -preset is necessary, but it worked, and I didn't try other settings. #ffmpeg
It's clearly a Monday when you're debugging closed caption playback problems with a specific file and as a result have to send patches to GStreamer, FFmpeg, and VLC.
iCloud Drive has hit a very weird bug for me. I've used every Terminal and other solution. It stalls at a certain point—clearly a bad file or something. However, the Finder lacks good tools to pinpoint a fatal file. Does anyone know an Apple engineer I could send information to? It's clearly a combination of macOS and iCloud interaction. I can find other people with a similar problem online, but they typically solved it with one a number of techniques I've tried.
@johan@glennf A bit OT: The biggest irritating thing I've also found is files don't upload when the system is doing something CPU-intensive...and I hate that! When using #DropBox, system load doesn't stop DropBox from doing its job! Why should #iCloudDrive limit activity when system is busy! YES, #Apple, I am doing an #FFmpeg encode on my #M1! There's PLENTY of overhead for uploading to the cloud!
🎞️ Quickly resize a video with FFmpeg/Vaapi for Mastodon

「 Mastodon’s limitations on media files that can be uploaded have changed in recent months, but still remain stringent for media produced by some devices.
Here are the new limits:
maximum size: 99 MB
maximum resolution: 3840 x 2160px (4K UHD)
maximum frame rate: 120 fps
allowed extensions: .webm .mp4 .m4v .mov 」
I wrote an article on how to quickly (13x speedup) convert an #H265 video to #VP8 using #FFmpeg and #Vaapi to upload it to #Mastodon respecting its restrictions 🎬
Asking #ffmpeg experts - what's the latest set of command line flags that produces a small animation from a stack of PNG files that also plays on most social media sites? I keep playing google roulette and typing in random incantations with little understanding of what on Earth I'm doing.... #linux
Kodi 21 "Omega" Alpha 1 is now available. It's the first build to use FFmpeg 6.0 for media playback, but that could bring some bugs so this is best for early adopters & testers. Also brings some improvmeents for Android, iOS, Linux, Mac, and Windows. https://kodi.tv/article/kodi-omega-alpha-1/
Sooo … I’m recording #CCTV#video of my home. I’d like to stream it to an offsite location, so that I can e.g. find out what caused a fire after my house burned down, or who broke in (at least until they destroy the cameras & storage). Of course, I don’t trust the remote server, it should not be able to look at the footage. So, #encryption. But it can’t lose any data when the connection gets interrupted. Ideas? #ffmpeg compatibility preferred. Some more thoughts in the second toot … 👇
Problem is: it takes forever, but the main issue is that my laptop goes to 100% processor use and the cooler fans go nuts, looks like it will take off or set my house on fire.
Is there any app that is more efficient for this? I can't use a cloud service, I have lots of videos to convert, it's not practical
I have never got #Mastodon's media_proxy to work, so videos don't play. I had assumed that it was a problem with my Apache config... So I've just set up a new instance using Nginx instead, so I can use all the stock config files. And media_proxy doesn't work there either. #Argh! #MastoAdmin
So the solution to #Mastodon's media_proxy 404ing was that it turns out I didn't have #ffmpeg installed. media_proxy uses ffmpeg, so that's a fatal error, but it doesn't bother to log it anywhere. Anyway, I now have 2 instances with working videos, so that's good. #MastoAdmin
