rAV1ator CLI v0.2.5

This is just one big bug fix, but I wanted to make a release in case people were wondering where a removed option went.

What's New:

• All Opus audio options should work with any sort of stream mapping, including the problematic 5.1(side). This one was a long time coming, apologies it took as long as it did!
• Opus (5.1 Remap) option removed.

rAV1ator CLI v0.2.0

TL;DR: The Batch Update

What's New:

• Batch encoding! Do rav1ator-cli -a [input-dir] to encode a bunch of videos at once with identical encode settings.
• Updated x265 and x264 encoding parameters for better visual quality
• Updated Opus surround encoding parameters for smarter bit allocation
• Updated SVT-AV1 arguments to improve threading (Thanks, Trix!)
• Generating scale & crop settings are now separate options. This should make using the FFmpeg parameter generation much less confusing
• Touched up the codebase, fixed some (potential) bugs

New Contributors:

• @trixoniisama made their first contribution in #2 - Thanks!

rAV1ator CLI v0.1.1

TL;DR: the Boring Update

What's New:

• The code now actually has comments!
• Printing now adds the generated Av1an command to rAV1ator CLI's history.
• Cleaned up some of the text provided to the user for certain options
• There is now an audio options prompt, allowing you to input custom audio settings that will be handled by Av1an's -a.

Installation instructions on the Codec Wiki will be updated soon to include Distrobox info as well as WSL2 info - keep an eye out if you're not on Arch & you'd like to use rAV1ator CLI but you're not sure how!

rAV1ator CLI v0.1.0

I don't know if this is a huge update, but I think it does warrant a bigger change in version number: rAV1ator CLI 0.1.0

What's New:

• An actual help menu is now provided upon running rav1ator-cli --help which provides you with a couple of new options.
• SVT-AV1 HDR10 preset now enabled & functioning.
• Encoding command history is now saved in a file in the home directory called .rav1ator-cli-history which can be managed using options within rav1ator-cli exposed by the help menu.
• ulimit -n 200000 appended to the beginning of all generated scripts to ensure mkvmerge concatenation errors occur much less frequently.
• Updated installable precompiled aomenc binary to latest opmox/mainline-merge + nov8 patch v2.
• Offline mode to skip update checks.
• Additional changes to aomenc parameters. Notably, the experimental deltaq-mode 6 is now default for the HDR10 preset.

There are a lot of cool things we may be able to do with the history file in the future, including potentially resuming an encode from where someone has left off if rav1ator-cli detects a temp job folder in the encoding directory with an unfinished encode. Let me know if you'd like to see something like this!

That's all for now! rAV1ator CLI will update automatically on your system. Thanks for checking it out, and happy encoding!
