Features: - FPS counter in conversion status showing real-time encoding speed - Job queue now displays FPS, encoding speed (e.g., "1.2x"), and ETA for running conversions - Copy Comparison button exports side-by-side metadata comparison report - Auto-compare checkbox in Convert module - automatically loads Compare view after conversion - Convert Now properly adds job to queue and displays in Job Queue with live stats - Module badge colors in job queue now match main menu tile colors - Fixed fullscreen compare window sizing (reduced player dimensions to prevent overflow) Bug Fixes: - Fixed queue state management - only one job runs at a time (prevents multiple jobs showing "running") - Fixed Compare module slot assignment - single video drops now fill empty slot instead of overwriting - Fixed job queue scroll rubber banding (no longer jumps back to top) - Enhanced crop detection validation for WMV/AVI formats with dimension clamping and bounds checking Documentation: - VT_Player integration notes with API requirements for keyframing and trim features - LosslessCut feature analysis for Trim module inspiration - Video metadata guide covering MP4/MKV custom fields and NFO generation - Trim module design specification - Compare fullscreen mode documentation - Updated VIDEO_PLAYER_FORK.md to mark fork as completed Technical Changes: - Added state tracking for FPS, speed, and ETA (main.go:197-199) - Enhanced queue processJobs() to check for running jobs before starting new ones - Improved Compare module drag-and-drop logic with smart slot assignment (both code paths) - Added deferred scroll position restoration to prevent UI jumping - Job queue Config map now carries conversion stats for display 🤖 Generated with Claude Code (https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Video Player Fork Plan
Status: COMPLETED ✅
VT_Player has been forked as a separate project for independent development.
Overview
The video player component has been extracted into a separate project (VT_Player) to allow independent development and improvement of video playback controls while keeping VideoTools focused on video processing.
Current Player Integration
The player is used in VideoTools at:
- Convert module - Video preview and playback
- Compare module - Side-by-side video comparison (as of dev13)
- Inspect module - Single video playback with metadata (as of dev13)
- Preview frame display
- Playback controls (play/pause, seek, volume)
Fork Goals
1. Independent Development
- Develop player features without affecting VideoTools
- Faster iteration on playback controls
- Better testing of player-specific features
- Can be used by other projects
2. Improved Controls
Features to develop in VT_Player:
- Keyframing - Mark in/out points for trimming and chapter creation
- Tighten up video controls
- Better seek bar with thumbnails on hover
- Improved timeline scrubbing
- Keyboard shortcuts for playback
- Frame-accurate stepping (←/→ keys for frame-by-frame)
- Playback speed controls (0.25x to 2x)
- Better volume control UI
- Timeline markers for chapters
- Visual in/out point indicators
3. Clean API
VT_Player should expose a clean API for VideoTools integration:
type Player interface {
Load(path string) error
Play()
Pause()
Seek(position time.Duration)
GetFrame(position time.Duration) (image.Image, error)
SetVolume(level float64)
// Keyframing support for Trim/Chapter modules
SetInPoint(position time.Duration)
SetOutPoint(position time.Duration)
GetInPoint() time.Duration
GetOutPoint() time.Duration
ClearKeyframes()
Close()
}
VT_Player Development Strategy
Phase 1: Core Player Features ✅
- Basic playback controls (play/pause/seek)
- Volume control
- Frame preview display
- Integration with VideoTools modules
Phase 2: Enhanced Controls (Current Focus)
Priority features for Trim/Chapter module integration:
- Keyframe markers - Set In/Out points visually on timeline
- Frame-accurate stepping - ←/→ keys for frame-by-frame navigation
- Visual timeline with markers - Show In/Out points on seek bar
- Keyboard shortcuts - I (in), O (out), Space (play/pause), ←/→ (step)
- Export keyframe data - Return In/Out timestamps to VideoTools
Phase 3: Advanced Features (Future)
- Thumbnail preview on seek bar hover
- Playback speed controls (0.25x to 2x)
- Improved volume slider with visual feedback
- Chapter markers on timeline
- Subtitle support
- Multi-audio track switching
- Zoom timeline for precision editing
Technical Considerations
Dependencies
Current dependencies to maintain:
- Fyne for UI rendering
- FFmpeg for video decoding
- CGO for FFmpeg bindings
Cross-Platform Support
Player must work on:
- Linux (GNOME, KDE, etc.)
- macOS
- Windows
Performance
- Hardware acceleration where available
- Efficient frame buffering
- Low CPU usage during playback
- Fast seeking
VideoTools Module Integration
Modules Using VT_Player
- Convert Module - Preview video before conversion
- Compare Module - Side-by-side video playback for comparison
- Inspect Module - Single video playback with detailed metadata
- Trim Module (planned) - Keyframe-based trimming with In/Out points
- Chapter Module (planned) - Mark chapter points on timeline
Integration Requirements for Trim/Chapter
The Trim and Chapter modules will require:
- Keyframe API to set In/Out points
- Visual markers on timeline showing trim regions
- Frame-accurate seeking for precise cuts
- Ability to export timestamp data for FFmpeg commands
- Preview of trimmed segment before processing
Benefits
- VideoTools: Leaner codebase, focus on video processing
- VT_Player: Independent evolution, reusable component, dedicated feature development
- Users: Professional-grade video controls, precise editing capabilities
- Developers: Easier to contribute, clear separation of concerns
Development Philosophy
- VT_Player: Focus on playback, navigation, and visual controls
- VideoTools: Focus on video processing, encoding, and batch operations
- Clean API boundary allows independent versioning
- VT_Player features can be tested independently before VideoTools integration
Notes
- VT_Player repo: Separate project with independent development cycle
- VideoTools will import VT_Player as external dependency
- Keyframing features are priority for Trim/Chapter module development
- Compare module demonstrates successful multi-player integration
