Add qscale option for ffmpeg to control thumbnail quality #56

Open timkrf opened 1 year ago

I added the option to set a qscale value for ffmpeg in the settings of the plugin, because I wanted to save a bit of drive space. The options are values from 2 to 6 or to disable the setting. By default the setting is disabled, so existing and new users are not forced to use it.

Here is an example of no qscale vs. qscale set to 4, using Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix:

In terms of quality I don't really notice a difference up until 6, but that may vary depending on screen size. I am using a 1080p 24 inch Monitor and my Smartphone.
