[FEATURE] allow specification of destination type for audio, video _and_ picture (i.e. three types). #95

Closed dreirund closed 2 years ago

dreirund commented 2 years ago

Currently, the --desttype parameter accepts only two options.

But when there is a folder with audio, video and pictures, it would need three options, like --desttype=MP3+JPG+WEBM.

--desttype=MP3+JPG+WEBM fails for me with error message

INVALID PARAMETER: Missing destination type string
INVALID PARAMETER: Parsing options.

(I am using ffmpegfs version 2.6.)

FFmpegfs supports no picture files as input, video or audio only.

What do you have in mind with a JPG or PNG input file?

Ah OK, makes sense.

I am using ffmpegfs as a backend for minidlnad, and just assumed it also can convert between still image formats. It was a shortcut assumption I got when I read about still image as output mode. And "consumer grade" technology usually only understands jpeg, png and maybe gif and a few others, but probably not avif for example.

So I think this feature request is obsolete, please close it as inappropriate.

I see. I never thought about still images as input. Seems that FFmpeg supports several of these formats, I*ll add the request to the list. Seems like a useful idea to convert e.g. XBM, TIFF or PCX to PNG or so.

(Just a sidenote: I think GraphicsMagick/ ImageMagick are the better backends than FFmpeg for still image converstion, so maybe indeed no support in FFmpegfs but rather a new graphicsmagickfs would be interesting here?)

You are right, so I will close this.
