Added documentation for:
- Merge module output path UX improvement (folder + filename split)
- Queue priority system for Convert Now
- Auto-cleanup for failed conversions
- Queue list jankiness reduction
All features completed in dev20+ release cycle (2025-12-28)
This commit introduces several enhancements to the Author module:
- **Real-time Progress Reporting:** Implemented granular, real-time progress updates for FFmpeg encoding steps during DVD authoring. The progress bar now updates smoothly, reflecting the actual video processing. Progress calculation is weighted by video durations for accuracy.
- **Add to Queue Functionality:** Added an 'Add to Queue' button to the Author module, allowing users to queue authoring jobs for later execution without immediate start. The authoring workflow was refactored to accept a 'startNow' parameter for this purpose.
- **Clear Output Title:** Modified the 'Clear All' functionality to also reset the DVD Output Title, preventing accidental naming conflicts for new projects.
Additionally, this commit includes a UI enhancement:
- **Main Menu Categorization:** Relocated 'Author', 'Rip', and 'Blu-Ray' modules to a new 'Disc' category on the main menu, improving logical grouping.
Fixes:
- Corrected a missing argument error in a call to .
- Added missing import in .
Updates:
- and have been updated to reflect these changes.
- Add authorClips, authorSubtitles, authorOutputType fields to appState
- Create authorClip struct for video clip management
- Implement drag-and-drop support for video clips and subtitles
- Add Settings tab with output type, region, aspect ratio options
- Create Video Clips tab with file management
- Add Subtitles tab for track management
- Prepare framework for DVD/ISO generation
- Update HandleAuthor to work with drag-and-drop system
- Add comprehensive file validation and error handling
- Support for multiple video clips compilation
- Ready for chapter detection and DVD authoring implementation
Renamed "DVD Author" to "Author" for broader disc production workflow.
Created foundation for complete authoring pipeline with three main tasks:
**Module Structure:**
- Tabbed interface with Chapters, Rip DVD/ISO, and Author Disc tabs
- Added authorChapter struct (timestamp, title, auto-detected flag)
- Added author module state fields (file, chapters, threshold, detecting)
**Chapters Tab (Basic UI):**
- File selection with video probing integration
- Scene detection sensitivity slider (0.1-0.9 threshold)
- Placeholder UI for chapter list and controls
- Add Chapter and Export Chapters buttons (placeholders)
- Foundation for FFmpeg scdet scene detection
**Rip DVD/ISO Tab:**
- Placeholder for high-quality disc extraction
- Will support lossless ripping (like FLAC from CD)
- Preserve all audio/subtitle tracks
**Author Disc Tab:**
- Placeholder for VIDEO_TS/ISO creation
- Will support burn-ready output, NTSC/PAL, menus
Changes:
- Modified main.go: Added authorChapter struct, author state fields,
showAuthorView(), buildAuthorView(), buildChaptersTab(),
buildRipTab(), buildAuthorDiscTab()
- Modified internal/modules/handlers.go: Renamed HandleDVDAuthor to
HandleAuthor with updated comment
- Updated DONE.md with Author module skeleton details
Next steps: Implement FFmpeg scene detection, chapter list UI,
and DVD/ISO ripping functionality.
Added advanced audio channel remixing features for videos with imbalanced
left/right audio channels (e.g., music in left ear, vocals in right ear).
New audio channel options using FFmpeg pan filter:
- Left to Stereo: Copy left channel to both speakers
- Right to Stereo: Copy right channel to both speakers
- Mix to Stereo: Downmix both channels together evenly
- Swap L/R: Swap left and right channels
Changes:
- Updated audioChannelsSelect dropdown with 8 options (was 4)
- Implemented pan filter logic in all 4 FFmpeg command builders:
- buildFFmpegCommandFromJob (main convert)
- DVD encoding function
- Convert command builder
- Snippet generation
- Removed unused "os" import from internal/convert/ffmpeg.go
- Updated DONE.md with audio channel remixing feature
The pan filter syntax allows precise channel routing:
- pan=stereo|c0=c0|c1=c0 (left to both)
- pan=stereo|c0=c1|c1=c1 (right to both)
- pan=stereo|c0=0.5*c0+0.5*c1|c1=0.5*c0+0.5*c1 (mix)
- pan=stereo|c0=c1|c1=c0 (swap)
- App is a work in progress, nothing is ever 'final'
- Changed size references to just state the values without 'final'
- More accurate and less presumptive
Documents the complete snippet system redesign with dual output modes:
- "Snippet to Default Format": Stream copy mode for bit-perfect source preservation
- "Snippet to Output Format": Conversion preview using actual settings
Updates ai-speak.md with comprehensive snippet testing requirements and Jake's AI communication. Updates DONE.md with detailed feature breakdown, technical improvements, and bug fixes. Includes testing checklist for both snippet modes and batch generation.
