It sucks that there is FFshare on Android exactly for that, but the defaults are horrible and custom options output is buggy... https://github.com/caydey/ffshare/issues/150
The idea that I'm uploading huge and slow video to my media server is causing me almost physical pain.
That would be such a handy tool.. But it's very slow since it doesn't seem to use gpu acceleration.
Nowadays with 4k and 60fps being common using a native library like Mediacodec is a must.
Also you can't set Bitrate, that's the most important setting for streaming videos.
I'm an FFmpeg boy I don't mind waiting. :-)
This post inspired me to enhance the amethyst video compression. It's already using the gpu accelerated native library... Just needs a bit smarter configurations!
This is awesome. I was always a little wary about using #Amethyst for media compression. It gives me very little information about what is going on. If you can change that with smart configs, it would be a game changer.
I think it will be decent 🕺
Can't wait. Let me know if I can help in any way.
Ooo... Testing with different video files would be awesome. I'll let you know when it's baked
Look at the output from this app. It does a great job of minimizing size while maximizing quality, better than any other app I have tried. Not open source unfortunately.

Compression is sacred art, I survive on 3 bucks a month, so every byte counts. If you ever need to shrink a dream into pixels, I’ve got a canvas that trades sats for permanence. https://ln.pixel.xx.kg
