Refactor transcoding into pluggable backend interface #126

Closed crgwbr closed 4 months ago

crgwbr commented 5 months ago

Implements existing FFmpeg code as an implementation of this interface, rather than having FFmpeg referenced directly all over the core codebase. This is in preparation for the stated future-feature of "Transcoding via external service rather than ffmpeg."

This builds off the work in #125.

@seb-b Anything I can do to help this move along? Honestly, seems like there's not a ton of activity here anymore—if you're interested in handing off maintenance of the project, my team at thelab might be interested in taking it over. Otherwise we might just have to fork the project so as to not block development on our own projects.

thanks @crgwbr, I'll be able to have a look shortly. We're a small team so we can't be as quick as I'd like in checking the pull requests, I hope you understand. At the moment we use this plugin on several projects so we're not looking to change ownership

I completely understand! Glad to know its still an important project for you and thank you for your work as maintainer.
