Note, this release supports the ENCODE intent, which allows other apps to request Video Transcoder to encode a video or audio file. Documentation available here. This is a beta feature. Apps are welcome to test out the ENCODE intent and provide feedback. Based on feedback the ENCODE intent may change before being finalized and may not be backwards compatible.

This is release v0.7a of Video Transcoder. It is an alpha release.

Changes:

• Add an intent interface for requesting the app to encode a file. The intention is to use the interface and allow other applications to request to encode files. (https://github.com/brarcher/video-transcoder/pull/70)

This is release v0.6 of Video Transcoder.

Changes:

• Use foreground service for managing FFmpeg to allow encoding of files longer than 10 minutes. (https://github.com/brarcher/video-transcoder/pull/62)
• Cancel in-progress encodings if service is destroyed. This prevents encoding from continuing without a way to cancel it, and an application crash when the encoding completes. (https://github.com/brarcher/video-transcoder/pull/62)
• Create destination directory if it does not exist. (https://github.com/brarcher/video-transcoder/pull/63)
• Change the output filename to be based on the input file name. (https://github.com/brarcher/video-transcoder/pull/63)
