Video Transcoding v0.17.0 Release Notes

  • Thursday, February 16, 2017

    • Remove all dependencies on mplayer, via #120 and #123:
      • Modify detect-crop and transcode-video to use ffmpeg for crop detection instead of mplayer.
      • Modify detect-crop to use mpv, a free cross-platform media player, for optional crop preview instead of mplayer.
      • Add a --player option to detect-crop so mplayer can still be used for crop preview commands. Warning: this feature will be deprecated soon.
    • ⚡️ Update the "README" document to:
      • Remove any mention of mplayer and list mpv as an optional package.
      • Fix typo in version 0.16.0 release information. Thanks, @samhutchins!
