continue compressing in the background

[playdougher]

some videoes can compress for long time, can it compresses in the background and send a notify when finishes?

It will crash , if you lock your screen .

Same as me .

Don't know Android programming, but maybe it could "minimize to notification", and after finishing, it says "tap me to save the file" and then you are back to ffshare and the sharing dialog?

What causes it to crash when it is put to sleep? It is quite problematic that large videos cannot be compressed due to this.

If this is too complicated to implement now, maybe the app should warn the user not to switch to another app, and keep the screen awake as a feature to compensate, so as to not make the conversion stop.

I use https://f-droid.org/de/packages/com.github.muellerma.coffee/ to keep the screen awake for now.

Converting long videos can take time (5 minutes or more). I think this really should be done in background, regardless if screen is off or you use another app meanwhile. That's for safety too, to avoid interrupting and crash the process. As suggested, a notification whenconverting finish.

Thanks for partial solution suggestin, I mean app Coffee.

Will this ever be addressed? It's very frustrating to lose a conversation when the screen shuts off.

You could dual-screen with an app that keeps it awake. PDF Book Reader.

Author should check out how this is done in Seal
