I’ve only yesterday realized that The Dear Hunter story is contemporary to Poirot

There's a new The Dear Hunter album? Huh? Huuuh?

I've updated mastodon.social. There's now a new API for uploading media files, which will handle videos more reliably. Since this is brand new, only the web UI uses it for now, so you may not notice a difference from a different app.

There's also new rate limits for posting and following, though you shouldn't notice it. It's just to limit the impact of spam.

@Gargron wen shall we expect the "search" feature..?
Just curious.

@Gargron Are you running the latest master code? Are the new functions stable enough? 📼

@Gargron When your group of friends are into Japanese horror films, but they only really like to watch one of them

If you could change some ffmpeg settings to make videos on Mastodon look a bit better, what would you change?

Current settings: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/blob/master/app/models/media_attachment.rb#L66-L74

@Gargron hmm. maybe this should be a github issue to get longer-form responses?

My quick thoughts:
remove the "-vsync cfr" and limit duration by time (-t) rather than frame count.
Maybe have a max video size (height/width) for the "original" quality (1080p?).
Can probably get away with a higher (lower quality) -cfr value. Would have to encode some samples to test the balance between -crf and the -maxrate/-bufsize settings.

vp9 would be *nice to have*, but it's too slow to encode...

@Gargron Could be VP9 and opus in webm; it would save a lot of space

Man Kevin could have rocked this. I bet he would have loved to help 😥 Cancer sucks

Is there an online tool that lets you turn various ffmpeg knobs while showing a before/after comparison of the video with a before/after comparison of the file size as well?

@Gargron i think you at least need to render before it shows what the knob fiddling does

My headphone cord got tangled on my chair in the most ridiculous way and I dropped it yesterday. Now one ear is much quieter 😦

@Gargron the wireless one are easy, from this point of view :D

Can anyone point me to any art prints in a similar style?
