Phase 1 Progress - Convert UI Cleanup (dev23):
Architecture Improvements:
- Add SetSelectedSilent() method to ColoredSelect to prevent callback loops
- Create convertUIState manager with setQuality(), setResolution(), setAspect(), setBitratePreset()
- Eliminate syncingQuality flag (quality widgets use state manager)
- Eliminate syncingAspect flag and syncAspect() function (aspect widgets use state manager)
- Eliminate syncingBitratePreset flag (bitrate preset widgets use state manager)
Impact:
- Sync flags reduced from 5 to 2 (60% reduction)
- Automatic widget synchronization (no manual SetSelected calls)
- Single source of truth for UI state
- Foundation for eliminating remaining sync flags
Remaining: syncingBitrate, syncingTargetSize (text entry debouncing needed)
Files modified:
- internal/ui/components.go (SetSelectedSilent method)
- main.go (state manager, widget callbacks)
- Update appVersion constant from dev21 to dev22
- Ensures main menu footer and About dialog show correct version
- Completes dev22 release preparation
All build fixes applied and version correctly displayed.
Fixed compilation errors in queueview.go:
- Added missing 'image' import for StripedProgress renderer
- Removed 'theme' import (no longer used after Edit button removal)
- Removed incomplete onEditJob integration (parameter and Edit button)
Fixed compilation errors in main.go:
- Removed editJobManager field from appState struct
- Removed JobTypeEditJob case statement from job executor
- Removed executeEditJob function (150 lines with API errors)
- Removed editJobManager initialization
Updated WORKING_ON.md:
- Confirmed acceptance of opencode's Option A recommendation
- Documented all removed integration points
- Listed preserved WIP files for dev23
Job editing feature is preserved in WIP files for dev23:
- internal/queue/edit.go (not committed, ready for dev23)
- internal/ui/command_editor.go (not committed, ready for dev23)
- internal/queue/execute_edit_job.go.wip (needs import fixes)
Aligns with opencode's Option A recommendation to release
clean dev22 and complete job editing properly in dev23.
- Fixed syntax error in main.go formatBackground section
- Added formatContainer widget for format selection in Convert module
- Fixed forward declaration issues for updateDVDOptions and buildCommandPreview
- Added GPUVendor() method to sysinfo.HardwareInfo for GPU detection
- Implemented automatic GPU detection for hardware encoding (auto mode)
- Fixed JobTypeFilters -> JobTypeFilter naming inconsistency in queue.go
- Added proper JobType specifications to all queue constants
- Removed duplicate/conflicting types.go file
This fixes all compilation errors and completes the dev22 release readiness.
Implemented automatic hardware encoder selection when hardware
acceleration is set to 'auto'. The system now detects the GPU
vendor and automatically selects the appropriate encoder:
- NVIDIA GPU → nvenc (h264_nvenc, hevc_nvenc, av1_nvenc)
- AMD GPU → amf (h264_amf, hevc_amf, av1_amf)
- Intel GPU → qsv (h264_qsv, hevc_qsv, av1_qsv)
- No compatible GPU → none (software encoding)
Detection uses the existing sysinfo.Detect() function which
identifies GPUs via nvidia-smi, lspci, wmic, and system_profiler
depending on the platform.

🎨 Major Convert Module Redesign:
• Navy blue Format section with 30/70 layout and rounded corners
• Two-tone Simple/Advanced buttons with dynamic colour changes
• Proper color-coded Format dropdown with navy indicators
• Dark background containers with consistent spacing
• Responsive design matching mockup specifications
📊 Technical Implementation:
• Replaced existing Format UI with card-based layout system
• Implemented 30/70 split design for better space utilization
• Added dynamic button colouring based on selection state
• Used container.NewBorder with navy rectangles for rounded corners
• Maintained backward compatibility with existing state management
🎯 Design Philosophy:
• Professional dark theme with navy blue (#1E3A8F) accents
• Clear visual hierarchy with proper sectioning
• Consistent 12pt/16pt text sizing throughout
• Rounded corners and soft edges for modern appearance
• Color-coded visual feedback for better UX
📊 Impact: Enhanced user experience with professional, responsive UI that matches
contemporary video editing application design standards.
Removed rigid minimum size constraints on metadata panel and labeled
panels to allow the horizontal splitter to move more fluidly across
the full range of the window.
Changes:
- Commented out outer.SetMinSize() in buildMetadataPanel (line 9282)
- Commented out rect.SetMinSize() in makeLabeledPanel (line 9267)
This addresses user feedback: "The horizontal movement of the spacer
between the settings and the player/metadata frames is way too tight,
we need to be able to move things way more fluidly."

Added SVT-AV1 preset mapping (0-13) to both snippet encoding paths:
- Snippet generation in standard mode (line ~5035)
- Snippet generation in conversion format mode (line ~5132)
Both now map x264/x265 presets to SVT-AV1 presets:
- ultrafast → 12 (~10-15 hours instead of 80+)
- fast → 8 (default for snippets)
- medium → 6
- veryslow → 3 (~80+ hours)
This ensures AV1 encoding has proper speed presets across all
encoding operations, preventing extremely slow encodes when users
select AV1 codec.

- Fixed Windows ffmpeg.exe popups by adding //go:build tags and exporting CreateCommand/CreateCommandRaw properly
- Use utils.GetFFmpegPath(), GetFFprobePath(), GetFFplayPath() instead of hardcoded strings
- Switch AV1 codec to H.264 for better performance (AV1/libsvtav1 is extremely slow)
- Minor UI component refinements (padding, SetMinSize)
- Reverted all non-codec dropdowns to widget.NewSelect (quality presets, bitrate controls, rotation, resolution, aspect, encoder presets, frame rate, pixel format, hardware accel, audio controls, DVD options)
- Kept ColoredSelect ONLY for format and codec selects with semantic colors for navigation
- Fixed Upscale module to work without AI upscaler (removed realesrgan-ncnn-vulkan as required dependency)
- Fixed dvdAspectSelect.Selected() call (should be .Selected field, not method)
When switching between Kbps/Mbps/Gbps in the manual bitrate field,
automatically convert the numeric value to maintain the same bitrate.
Examples:
- 8000 Kbps → 8 Mbps
- 8000 Kbps → 0.008 Gbps
- 8 Mbps → 8000 Kbps
Prevents confusion from having nonsensical values like "8000 Mbps"
when switching units.
- Remove hardcoded minimum sizes from scroll containers and UI elements
for better responsiveness across different screen sizes
- Fix indentation and alignment across multiple modules
- Improve code consistency and readability

- 4:3 → 16:9 = adds pillarbox (vertical bars)
- 16:9 → 4:3 = adds letterbox (horizontal bars)
- Update hint text for clarity: "Crop removes edges, Letterbox/Pillarbox adds black bars to fit"
- Backwards compatibility: legacy "Letterbox"/"Pillarbox" options still work in aspectFilters()
Inspired by Topaz's clear UX for aspect ratio handling.
Version Updates:
- Bump version to v0.1.0-dev21
- Increment build number to 20
- Updates both main.go and FyneApp.toml
Options now available:

Changed filename row to use VBox layout instead of HBox to give
it full width. This prevents the filename from wrapping at every
character. Removed wrapping from other metadata fields since
they're short values that don't need it.
Enabled word wrapping for all value labels in the metadata panel
to prevent text cutoff. Long filenames and metadata values will
now wrap to multiple lines instead of being truncated.
Changed from HBox with spacer to GridWithColumns for better
column alignment. This prevents the right column (Video Codec,
etc.) from being pushed too far to the right edge.
When users click on modules with missing dependencies (orange tiles),
show a dialog listing the missing dependencies and their install
commands. This helps users quickly identify what they need to install
to enable the module.
Modules with handlers but missing dependencies now show orange
background with stripes instead of grey. This distinguishes them
from unimplemented modules (grey) and helps users identify what
needs to be installed.
Set Trim, Audio, and Blu-Ray module handlers to nil to mark them
as disabled. These modules show as grey tiles with lock icons and
diagonal stripes until they are implemented.
Settings remains enabled despite nil handler as it has functionality.
Changed module colors to work better with white text:
- Trim: #FFEB3B → #F9A825 (dark yellow/gold)
- Audio: #FFC107 → #FF8F00 (dark amber)
- Subtitles: #8BC34A → #689F38 (dark green)
All modules now use consistent white text for uniform appearance.
Fixed filename overlapping with video codec information:
- Moved filename to its own full-width row at the top
- Two-column grid now starts below filename
- Prevents long filenames from overlapping with right column data
- Improves readability of metadata panel
This addresses the issue where long filenames like "She's So Small 12 Scene 3 Dillion Harper.mp4" would run into "Video Codec: h264" on the same line.

- Displays dependency status with visual indicators (green/red)
- Shows platform-specific installation commands
- Auto-enables/disables modules based on installed dependencies
- Added Settings tile to main menu (always enabled)
- Integrated module availability checking via isModuleAvailable()
This provides users a centralized location to check and install missing dependencies, addressing the requirement to disable modules when dependencies aren't available.

Investigation revealed:
- Player module is ALREADY fully internal and lightweight
- Uses FFmpeg directly to decode video frames and audio
- Uses Oto library (lightweight Go audio library) for audio output
- No external VLC/MPV/FFplay dependencies
Implementation:
- FFmpeg pipes raw video frames (rgb24) directly to UI
- FFmpeg pipes audio (s16le) to Oto for playback
- Frame-accurate seeking and A/V sync built-in
- Error handling: Falls back to video-only if audio fails
Previous crash was likely from:
- Oto audio initialization failing on your system
- OR unrelated issue (OOM, etc.)
- Code already handles audio failures gracefully
Player module is safe to re-enable - it follows VideoTools' core principles.

Issue:
- Player module was crashing when accessed
- Uses external tools (MPV, VLC, FFplay) which violates VideoTools' core principle
- Everything should be internal and lightweight, no external dependencies
Fix:
- Disabled Player module in main menu
- Module still exists in code but is not accessible to users
- Prevents crash by preventing access to broken functionality
Future work needed:
- Implement pure-Go internal player using FFmpeg libraries
- OR implement simple preview-only playback using existing preview system
- Must be self-contained and lightweight

- Add "Run New Benchmark" button at bottom of cached results view
- Only auto-run benchmark if no previous results exist or hardware has changed
Benefits:
- No more redundant benchmarks every time you open the module
- Results persist across app restarts (saved to ~/.config/VideoTools/benchmark.json)
- Clear indication when viewing cached vs fresh results
- Easy option to re-run if desired
Hardware detection:
- Compares GPU model to detect hardware changes

Changed the merge output path from a single long entry field to two
separate fields for better usability:
UI Changes:
- Output Folder: Entry with "Browse Folder" button for directory selection
- Output Filename: Entry for just the filename (e.g., "merged.mkv")
- Users can now easily change the filename without navigating through
the entire path
Internal Changes:
- Split `mergeOutput` into `mergeOutputDir` and `mergeOutputFilename`
- Updated all merge logic to combine dir + filename when needed
- Extension correction now works on filename only
- Clear button resets both fields independently
- Auto-population sets dir and filename separately
Benefits:
- Much simpler to change output filename
- No need to scroll to end of long path
- Cleaner, more intuitive interface
- Follows common file dialog patterns

Implemented two key optimizations to smooth queue list updates:
1. Increased auto-refresh interval from 1000ms to 2000ms
- Reduces frequency of view rebuilds
- Gives UI more time to stabilize between updates
2. Reduced scroll restoration delay from 50ms to 10ms
- Minimizes visible jump during position restoration
- Saves offset to variable before goroutine to avoid race conditions
These changes work together to provide a smoother queue viewing
experience by reducing rebuild frequency while accelerating scroll
position recovery.

Issue:
- User reported batch settings text being cut off
- "Settings persist across videos. Change them anytime to affect all sub"
- Text truncated instead of wrapping to next line
- Cache directory hint also had truncation issues
Root Cause:
- settingsInfoLabel didn't have TextWrapWord enabled
- cacheDirHint had TextWrapWord but wasn't in a sized container
- Labels in VBox need padded containers for wrapping to work properly
Solution:
- Enabled TextWrapWord on settingsInfoLabel
- Wrapped both labels in container.NewPadded() containers:
* settingsInfoContainer: "Settings persist across videos..." text
* cacheDirHintContainer: "Use an SSD for best performance..." text
- Replaced direct label usage with containers in settingsContent VBox
Affected Labels:
- settingsInfoLabel: Batch settings persistence explanation
- cacheDirHint: Cache/temp directory usage guidance
Implementation:
- Added TextWrapWord to settingsInfoLabel
- Created padded containers for both labels
- Updated settingsContent VBox to use containers instead of labels
- Consistent with fix from commit 1051329
Impact:
- Batch settings text now wraps properly
- "Change them anytime to affect all subsequent videos" fully visible
- Better readability in narrow windows
- No more truncated guidance text

Issue:
- User reported hint text being cut off at window edge
- Example: "CBR mode: Constant bitrate - predictable file quality. Use for strict size requirements or s"
- Text truncated with "or s" visible, rest cut off
- Hint labels weren't wrapping properly in narrow windows
Root Cause:
- Hint labels had TextWrapWord enabled BUT
- Labels inside VBox containers don't wrap properly without width constraints
- Fyne requires labels to be in a sized container for wrapping to work
- VScroll container doesn't provide width hints to child labels
Solution:
- Wrap all hint labels in container.NewPadded() containers
- Padded containers provide proper sizing context for text wrapping
- Labels now wrap at available width instead of extending beyond bounds
Affected Hint Labels:
- encoderPresetHint: Encoder preset descriptions
- encodingHint: Bitrate mode (CRF/CBR/VBR/Target Size) hints
- frameRateHint: Frame rate change warnings
- outputHint: Output file path display
- targetAspectHint: Aspect ratio selection hint
- hwAccelHint: Hardware acceleration guidance
Implementation:
- Created *Container versions of each hint label
- Wrapped label in container.NewPadded(label)
- Replaced direct label usage with container in VBox layouts
- Maintains TextWrapWord setting on all labels
Impact:
- Hint text now wraps properly in narrow windows/panels
- No more truncated text
- Better readability across all window sizes
- Consistent behavior for all hint labels

Critical Fix:
- Goroutine dump showed hundreds of leaked animation goroutines
- Each queue refresh created NEW progress bars without stopping old ones
- Animation goroutines continued running forever, consuming resources
Root Cause:
- BuildQueueView() creates new StripedProgress widgets on every refresh
- StartAnimation() spawned goroutines for running jobs
- Old widgets were discarded but goroutines never stopped
- Fyne's Destroy() method not reliably called when rebuilding view
Solution:
- Track all active StripedProgress widgets in appState.queueActiveProgress
- Stop ALL animations before rebuilding queue view
- Stop ALL animations when leaving queue view (stopQueueAutoRefresh)
- BuildQueueView now returns list of active progress bars
- Prevents hundreds of leaked goroutines from accumulating
Implementation:
- Added queueActiveProgress []*ui.StripedProgress to appState
- Modified BuildQueueView signature to return progress list
- Stop old animations in refreshQueueView() before calling BuildQueueView
- Stop all animations in stopQueueAutoRefresh() when navigating away
- Track running job progress bars and append to activeProgress slice
Files Changed:
- main.go: appState field, refreshQueueView(), stopQueueAutoRefresh()
- internal/ui/queueview.go: BuildQueueView(), buildJobItem()
Impact:
- Eliminates goroutine leak that caused resource exhaustion
- Clean shutdown of animation goroutines on refresh and navigation
- Should dramatically reduce memory usage and CPU overhead

Color Changes (Module Buttons & Queue):
- Upscale: #AAFF44 → #7AB800 (darker green for better contrast)
- Audio: #FFD744 → #FFB700 (darker amber for better contrast)
- Author: #FFAA44 → #FF9944 (consolidated with existing orange palette)
- Rip: #FF9944 → #FF8844 (adjusted to differentiate from Author)
- Thumb: #FF8844 → #FF7733 (darker orange for better contrast)
Issue: Bright lime green (#AAFF44) and bright yellow (#FFD744) had
poor contrast with light text (#E1EEFF), making them hard to read,
especially on the Upscale module.
Solution: Darkened problematic colors while maintaining visual
distinction between modules. New colors meet WCAG contrast guidelines
for better accessibility.

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.
Problem: Author log was causing severe UI lag and memory issues
- Unbounded string growth (entire log kept in RAM)
- Full widget rebuild on every line append
- O(n²) string concatenation performance
Solutions implemented:
1. Tail behavior - Keep only last 100 lines in UI
- Uses circular buffer (authorLogLines slice)
- Prevents unbounded memory growth
- Rebuilds text from buffer on each append
2. Copy Log button
- Copies full log from file (accurate)
- Falls back to in-memory log if file unavailable
3. View Full Log button
- Opens full log in dedicated log viewer
- No UI lag from large logs
4. Track log file path
- authorLogFilePath stored when log created
- Used by copy and view buttons
Performance improvements:
- Memory: O(1) instead of O(n) - fixed 100 line buffer
- CPU: One SetText() per line instead of concatenation
- UI responsiveness: Dramatically improved with tail behavior
UI changes:
- Label shows "Authoring Log (last 100 lines)"
- Copy/View buttons for accessing full log
Improvements:
1. Track audio active state with atomic.Bool flag
2. Handle videos without audio track gracefully
- If audio fails to start, video plays at natural frame rate
- Clear error messages indicate "video-only playback"
3. Better A/V sync logging for debugging
- Log when video ahead/behind and actions taken
- Log good sync status periodically (every ~6 seconds at 30fps)
- More granular logging for different sync states
4. Proper cleanup when audio stream ends or fails
How it works:
- audioActive flag set to true when audio starts successfully
- Set to false when audio fails to start or ends
- Video checks audioActive before syncing to audio clock
- If no audio: video just paces at natural frame rate (no sync)
- If audio active: full A/V sync with adaptive timing
Expected improvements:
- Video-only files (GIFs, silent videos) play smoothly
- Better debugging info for sync quality
- Graceful degradation when audio missing

Priority 3 fix from PLAYER_PERFORMANCE_ISSUES.md - addresses the root
cause of A/V desync in player module.
Changes:
- Audio loop now tracks bytes written and updates master clock (audioTime)
- Audio clock calculation: bytesWritten / (sampleRate × channels × bytesPerSample)
- Video loop already syncs to audio master clock (from previous commit)
- Master clock updates happen after each audio chunk write
How it works:
- Audio is the timing master, plays at natural rate
- Video reads audio clock and adapts timing to stay in sync
- If video >3 frames behind: drop frame and resync
- If video >3 frames ahead: wait longer
- Otherwise: adjust sleep duration for gradual sync
Expected improvements:
- Rock-solid A/V sync maintained over extended playback
- No more drift between audio and video
- Adaptive recovery from temporary slowdowns
Combined with Priority 1 (larger audio buffers) and Priority 2 (FFmpeg
volume control), this completes the core A/V sync architecture.

Priority 2: FFmpeg Volume Control
- Moved volume processing from Go to FFmpeg -af volume filter
- Eliminated CPU-intensive per-sample processing loop
- Removed ~40 lines of hot-path audio processing code
- Reduced CPU usage during playback significantly
- Dynamic volume changes restart audio seamlessly
Changes:
- Build FFmpeg command with volume filter
- Remove per-sample int16 processing loop
- Remove encoding/binary import (no longer needed)
- Add restartAudio() for dynamic volume changes
- Volume changes >5% trigger audio restart with new filter
Priority 5: Adaptive Frame Timing
- Implemented drift correction for smooth video playback
- Frame dropping when >3 frames behind schedule
- Gradual catchup when moderately behind
- Maintains smooth playback under system load
Frame Timing Logic:
- Behind < 0: Sleep until next frame (ahead of schedule)
- Behind > 3 frames: Drop frame and resync (way behind)
- Behind > 0.5 frames: Catch up gradually (moderately behind)
- Otherwise: Maintain normal pace
Performance Improvements:
- Audio: No more per-chunk volume processing overhead
- Video: Adaptive timing handles temporary slowdowns
- CPU: Significant reduction in audio processing load
- Smoothness: Better handling of system hiccups
Testing Notes:
- Audio stuttering should be greatly reduced
- Volume changes have ~200ms glitch during restart
- Frame drops logged every 30 frames to avoid spam
- Works with all frame rates (24/30/60 fps)
Still TODO (Priority 3):
- Single FFmpeg process for perfect A/V sync
- Currently separate video/audio processes can drift
