# VideoTools Roadmap
|
|
|
|
This roadmap is intentionally lightweight. It captures the next few high-priority goals without locking the project into a rigid plan.
|
|
|
|
## How We Use This
|
|
|
|
- The roadmap is a short list, not a full backlog.
|
|
- Items can move between buckets as priorities change.
|
|
- We update this at the start of each dev cycle.
|
|
|
|
## Current State
|
|
|
|
- dev21 focused on stylistic filters and enhancement module planning.
|
|
- Filters module now includes decade-based authentic effects (8mm, 16mm, B&W Film, Silent Film, VHS, Webcam).
|
|
- Player stability identified as critical blocker for enhancement development.
|
|
- dev23 delivered UI cleanup (dropdown styling, settings panel polish, about/support layout).
|
|
|
|
## Now (dev24 focus)
|
|
|
|
- **Rock-solid video player implementation** - CRITICAL PRIORITY
|
|
- Fix fundamental A/V synchronization issues
|
|
- Implement frame-accurate seeking without restarts
|
|
- Add hardware acceleration (CUDA/VA-API/VideoToolbox)
|
|
- Integrate chapter detection from Author module
|
|
- Build foundation for frame extraction and keyframing
|
|
- Eliminate seeking glitches and desync issues
|
|
|
|
- **Enhancement module foundation** - DEPENDS ON PLAYER
|
|
- Unified Filters + Upscale workflow
|
|
- Content-type aware processing (general/anime/film)
|
|
- AI model management system (extensible for future models)
|
|
- Multi-pass processing pipeline
|
|
- Before/after preview system
|
|
- Real-time enhancement feedback
|
|
|
|
## Next (dev25+)
|
|
|
|
- **Enhancement module completion** - DEPENDS ON PLAYER
|
|
- Open-source AI model integration (BasicVSR, RIFE, RealCUGan)
|
|
- Model registry system for easy addition of new models
|
|
- Content-aware model selection
|
|
- Advanced restoration (SVFR, SeedVR2, diffusion-based)
|
|
- Quality-aware enhancement strategies
|
|
|
|
- **Trim module with timeline interface** - DEPENDS ON PLAYER
|
|
- Frame-accurate trimming and cutting
|
|
- Manual chapter support with keyframing
|
|
- Visual timeline with chapter markers
|
|
- Preview-based trimming with exact frame selection
|
|
- Import chapter detection from Author module
|
|
|
|
- **Professional workflow integration**
|
|
- Seamless module communication (Player ↔ Enhancement ↔ Trim)
|
|
- Batch enhancement processing through queue
|
|
- Cross-platform frame extraction
|
|
- Hardware-accelerated enhancement pipeline
|
|
|
|
## Later
|
|
|
|
- **Advanced AI features**
|
|
- AI-powered scene detection
|
|
- Intelligent upscaling model selection
|
|
- Temporal consistency algorithms
|
|
- Custom model training framework
|
|
- Cloud processing options
|
|
|
|
- **Module expansion**
|
|
- Audio enhancement and restoration
|
|
- Subtitle processing and burning
|
|
- Multi-track management
|
|
- Advanced metadata editing
|
|
|
|
## Versioning Note
|
|
|
|
We keep continuous dev numbering. After v0.1.1 release, the next dev tag becomes v0.1.1-dev22 (or whatever the next number is).
|
|
|
|
## Technical Debt and Architecture
|
|
|
|
### Player Module Critical Issues Identified
|
|
|
|
The current video player has fundamental architectural problems preventing stable playback:
|
|
|
|
1. **Separate A/V Processes** - No synchronization, guaranteed drift
|
|
2. **Command-Line Interface Limitations** - VLC/MPV controllers use basic CLI, not proper IPC
|
|
3. **Frame-Accurate Seeking** - Seeking restarts processes with full re-decoding
|
|
4. **No Frame Extraction** - Critical for enhancement and chapter functionality
|
|
5. **Poor Buffer Management** - Small audio buffers cause stuttering
|
|
6. **No Hardware Acceleration** - Software decoding causes high CPU usage
|
|
|
|
### Proposed Go-Based Solution
|
|
|
|
**Unified FFmpeg Player Architecture:**
|
|
- Single FFmpeg process with multiplexed A/V output
|
|
- Proper PTS-based synchronization with drift correction
|
|
- Frame buffer pooling and memory management
|
|
- Hardware acceleration through FFmpeg's native support
|
|
- Frame extraction via pipe without restarts
|
|
|
|
**Key Implementation Strategies:**
|
|
- Ring buffers for audio/video to eliminate stuttering
|
|
- Master clock reference for A/V sync
|
|
- Adaptive frame timing with drift correction
|
|
- Zero-copy frame operations where possible
|
|
- Hardware backend detection and utilization
|
|
|
|
This player enhancement is the foundation requirement for all advanced features including enhancement module and all other features that depend on reliable video playback.
