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.
Files Updated:
- main.go: Module color definitions
- internal/ui/queueview.go: Queue job type colors

DVD Authoring Fix:
- Add remultiplex step after MPEG encoding for DVD compliance
- Use ffmpeg -fflags +genpts -c copy -f dvd to fix timestamps
- Resolves "ERR: SCR moves backwards" error from dvdauthor
- FFmpeg direct encoding doesn't always create DVD-compliant streams
- Remux regenerates presentation timestamps correctly
Queue Animation Fix:
- Stop stripe animation on completed jobs
- Bug: Refresh() was always incrementing offset regardless of state
- Now only increments offset when animStop != nil (animation running)
- Completed/failed/cancelled jobs no longer show animated stripes
Testing:
- DVD authoring should now succeed on AVI files
- Completed queue jobs should show static progress bar

In Progress Tab Enhancements:
- Added animated striped progress bars to in-progress jobs
- Exported ModuleColor function for reuse across modules
- Shows real-time progress (0-100%) with module-specific colors
- Progress updates automatically as jobs run
- Maintains consistent visual style with queue view
Lossless Quality Preset Improvements:
- H.265 and AV1 now support all bitrate modes with lossless quality
- Lossless with Target Size mode now works for H.265/AV1
- H.264 and MPEG-2 no longer show "Lossless" option (codec limitation)
- Dynamic quality dropdown updates based on selected codec
- Automatic fallback to "Near-Lossless" when switching from lossless-capable
codec to non-lossless codec
Quality Options Logic:
- Base options: Draft, Standard, Balanced, High, Near-Lossless
- "Lossless" only appears for H.265 and AV1
- codecSupportsLossless() helper function checks compatibility
- updateQualityOptions() refreshes dropdown when codec changes
Lossless + Bitrate Mode Combinations:
- Lossless + CRF: Forces CRF 0 for perfect quality
- Lossless + CBR: Constant bitrate with lossless quality
- Lossless + VBR: Variable bitrate with lossless quality
- Lossless + Target Size: Calculates bitrate for exact file size with
best possible quality (now allowed for H.265/AV1)
Technical Implementation:
- Added Progress field to ui.HistoryEntry struct
- Exported StripedProgress widget and ModuleColor function
- updateQualityOptions() function dynamically filters quality presets
- updateEncodingControls() handles lossless modes per codec
- Descriptive hints explain each lossless+bitrate combination
This allows professional workflows where lossless quality is desired
but file size constraints still need to be met using Target Size mode.

Added history sidebar UI with tabs for completed and failed jobs.
Created reusable UI components and helpers for displaying history entries.
Changes:
- internal/ui/mainmenu.go:
* Added HistoryEntry type definition
* Added BuildHistorySidebar() for main sidebar UI with tabs
* Added buildHistoryList() and buildHistoryItem() helpers
* Added imports for queue and utils packages
- internal/ui/components.go:
* Moved GetStatusColor() and BuildModuleBadge() here as shared functions
* Added queue and utils imports for shared helpers
- internal/ui/queueview.go:
* Updated to use shared GetStatusColor() and BuildModuleBadge()
* Removed duplicate function definitions
- main.go:
* Updated to use ui.HistoryEntry type throughout
* Updated historyConfig, appState, and all methods to use ui.HistoryEntry
The sidebar displays history entries with:
- Status-colored indicators (green/red/orange)

Added "Copy Command" button to queue view for running and pending jobs,
allowing users to copy the FFmpeg command to clipboard for manual execution.
Changes:
- internal/ui/queueview.go: Add onCopyCommand parameter and buttons
- main.go: Implement onCopyCommand handler in showQueue()
The handler retrieves the job, generates the FFmpeg command with
INPUT/OUTPUT placeholders using buildFFmpegCommandFromJob(), and copies
it to the clipboard with a confirmation dialog.

- Increase striped progress bar contrast (light: 90→60, dark: 140→200)
- Increase fill opacity (180→200) for better visibility
- Increase progress bar height from 14px to 20px across both striped and standard bars
- Makes progress bars more visible and easier to read at a glance
The striped gradient now has much clearer distinction between light and dark
stripes, and the increased thickness makes progress easier to track visually.
Long FFmpeg error messages were pushing the queue UI off screen, making
the interface unusable when jobs failed with verbose errors.
Changes:
- Truncate error messages to 150 characters maximum in status text
- Add helpful message indicating full error is available via Copy Error button
- Enable text wrapping on status labels to handle multi-line content gracefully
- Prevents UI layout breakage while maintaining error visibility
Users can still access the full error message via:
- Copy Error button (copies full error to clipboard)
- View Log button (opens per-job conversion log)

This commit includes several improvements:
Queue System Enhancements:
- Improved thread-safety in Add, Remove, Pause, Resume, Cancel operations
- Added PauseAll and ResumeAll methods for batch control
- Added MoveUp and MoveDown methods to reorder queue items
- Better handling of running job cancellation with proper state management
- Improved Copy strategy in List() to prevent race conditions
Convert Module Enhancement:
- Auto-set resolution to 720×480 when NTSC DVD format selected
- Auto-set resolution to 720×576 when PAL DVD format selected
- Auto-set framerate to 29.97fps (30) for NTSC, 25fps for PAL
- Added DVD resolution options to resolution selector dropdown
Display Server Improvements:
- Auto-detect Wayland vs X11 display servers in player controller
- Conditionally apply xdotool window placement (X11 only)
UI Improvements:
- Added Pause All, Resume All, and queue reordering buttons
- Fixed queue counter labeling (completed count display)
Simplified the approach by removing complex callback logic and using a
simple 500ms timer-based update for the stats bar instead. This eliminates
threading errors completely while keeping the code straightforward.
Changes:
1. Removed queue change callback entirely
2. Added background timer that updates stats bar every 500ms
3. Removed initComplete flag (no longer needed)
4. Simplified setContent() to direct calls
5. Added onClearAll parameter to BuildQueueView()
6. Added ClearAll() method to Queue (removes all jobs)
7. Added Clear All button with DangerImportance styling in queue view
8. Clear Completed button now has LowImportance styling
This approach is much simpler: the UI just polls the queue state
periodically instead of trying to handle callbacks from goroutines.
No more threading errors, less code, easier to understand.

This commit resolves three critical issues:
1. **Fyne Threading Error on Startup**: Fixed by improving setContent() to
check the initComplete flag. During initialization, setContent() calls
SetContent() directly since we're on the main thread. After initialization,
it safely marshals calls via app.Driver().DoFromGoroutine().
2. **Queue Persisting Between Sessions**: Fixed by removing queue persistence.
The shutdown() function no longer saves the queue to disk, ensuring a
clean slate for each new app session.
3. **Queue Auto-Processing**: Fixed by making the queue start in 'paused'
state. Users must explicitly click 'Process Queue' to start batch
conversion. Queue methods PauseProcessing() and ResumeProcessing()
control the paused state.
Changes:
- main.go: Added initComplete flag to appState, improved setContent()
logic, disabled queue persistence in shutdown()
- queue/queue.go: Added paused field to Queue struct, initialize paused=true,
added PauseProcessing()/ResumeProcessing() methods
- ui/queueview.go: Added UI controls for queue processing and clearing
