Added

• --verbose which prints detailed logs.

Changed

• Chapters will now be included during the merge phase, seperate chapterer phase gets removed.
• It will not wait anymore for a few seconds at the beginning, instead it will print the merge order and wait for you to press ENTER or ESC to continue or not.
• Videos with changed fps from fps_changer will be stored in <TMP_DIR>/fps_changer.
• Selector now case-insensitive, so it selects mp4 and MP4 etc.

Removed

• Remove --skip-wait

Fixed

• Fix wrong success message after merge failed.

Added

• Chapterer which creates output.* with chapters in it, everything in between the first - till the fill extension of the input files will be used as chapter titles 📖. Can be skipped by --skip-chapterer.

Added

• skip-wait which skips the wait time for reading
• FPS Changer which detects different fps values and scales down to the lowest number, or an fps value specified via --fps, this feature can also be skipped via skip-fps-changer. None of the original videos will be deleted, instead it generates new ones from the originals in an temporary folder and merges with those

Fixed

Changed

• Files like list.txt and scaled videos will be created inside a temporary folder where the endpoint looks like 8EbQrP3j:

  • Linux: /tmp/<8-RAND-CHARS>
  • Windows: ~/AppData/Local/Temp/<8-RAND-CHARS>
• Video files starting with a . will be ignored (can be the case when dealing with network volumes).
• Append the following message to the success message: (it can still be broken 🙈).
