Any #ffmpeg experts here? I want to do one simple thing: make certain colors transparent (then alphaextract to feed into tesseract #OCR). That's it. The colorkey filter is perfect, but it seems to be an absolute impossibility if you want more than one color transparent.

So, got the server in place but discovered that the Docker image that I created that has the Sisyphus client and all of the binaries like `ffmpeg`, `av1an` was not very happy. Ffmpeg crashed because it couldn't find the `libSvtAvcEnc.so.4` library which was because I had a custom version of it installed (`svt-av1-psyex`).
Got the Dockerfile fixed by installing `svt-av1-psyex` and then compiling `ffmpeg` against those libraries, then installing both `svt-av1-psyex` and `ffmpeg` int…

#TIL
Es gibt ein Kommandozeilen-Tool namens `tldr` und das ist richtig hilfreich. Es liefert beispiel-basierte Doku für Kommandozeilen-tools wie z.B. ffmpg. Klar könnte man dafür auch `man ffmpeg` benutzen, aber Beispiel-basiert ist oft einfacher verständlich und dadurch nützlicher.
Bei `tldr --update` werden ≈6000 md-Dateien gezogen und ab dann hat man eine sehr hilfreiche Offline-Dok…

Quick tip: if `ffmpeg` shows the incorrect frame count when processing videos, just toss it through a quick `mkvmerge`.
```
for i in video*; do mkvmerge "$i" -o"temp_$i"; done
```
#mkvmerge #ffmpeg

Woho. Endlich ne sinnvolle ffmpeg Pipeline um AV1 per QSV auf ner (integrated) ARC zu fahren. SD-Content mit ~220fps bei quasi keiner Systemlast ist schon sehr nett.

The long test is looking good for the `av1an`, `mkvmerge`, and `cleanup` modules, the Golang client is doing exactly what its supposed to which is a welcome change from yesterday. I need to do long tests on the `ffmpeg` and `handbrake` modules next, but I'll handle those tomorrow.
After that, I'll update documentation, release the `2.0.0` client, and deprecate the old client.

Ah previous me...I see you've decided to make this rewrite more difficult because you got _clever_ and I decided to keep backward compatibility. Thought that the `ffmpeg` module would be the biggest pain in the ass, but I was completely wrong. The `mkvmerge` part is coming along and I'm hoping to have it done today or tomorrow. Things progress.

The Sisyphus client rewrite continues after a bit of a break. The `ffmpeg` module is mostly finished and should serve as a good template for `handbrake`, `av1an`, `mkvmerge`, and `cleanup` modules. Logging is progressing pretty well. The config has been expanded slightly and can now pull from TOML files on top of the standard environment variables.
