videos and android app :)

[AlvMG]

Hi guys,
thanks for your hard work. To me this is by far the best web gallery that have all my requierements. I don´t know why the nightly build is not working for me but I´ve found the way of get the latest build working fine with the generation of the thumbnails, so all fine for me at the moment.
I have two suggestions. First of all, is it possible to add a configuration to convert only the videos that are on h265 codec? I have a lot of videos and I don´t want to encode tons of GB that are on 1080p, only want to convert the videos that I can´t see on the browser due to the compatibility of the codec.
Also, is there a posibility to create an android app to fix this issue on android devices?

Thanks,
Alvaro

Hi,

I'm happy that you like the project :)

Unfortunately there is no way now to filter on what video gets converted.

I do not mind if you add a config flag that converts on a set op extensions.

Here is where it is decided if a video should be converted:

pigallery2/src/backend/model/jobs/jobs/VideoConvertingJob.ts

Lines 20 to 23 in baa38fe

	protected async shouldProcess(mPath: string): Promise<boolean> {
	return !(await VideoProcessing.convertedVideoExist(mPath));
	}

Pigallery is just my hobby project that I tweak in my free time. Unfortunately I have no time and intention for creating an android app.
But feel free to create one, the App communicates over standardish REST api.
