Discussion: what are the (near future) plans for android-transcoder?

[AlexTrotsenko]

It's more a question/feedback to @ypresto similar to https://github.com/mockk/mockk/issues/374 for MockK.

Me as many other devs are happy to have android-transcoder project, thank you @ypresto for creating and taking care of it.

But it looks like there were not enough activity for quite some time: several pull requests are opened and not merged, also some issues like https://github.com/ypresto/android-transcoder/issues/72 seems to be fixed, but not closed and new version was not released for quite a long time.

If you are have no plans to maintain this project or simply can't do it - are you considering giving someone else the rights for regular committing and maintaining the project? Or perhaps you could advise another fork if it's already exists, etc.?

P.S. Regarding obtaining latest release: I was able to get latest version from master via JitPack - perhaps it could be useful for someone else as well: https://jitpack.io/#ypresto/android-transcoder/-SNAPSHOT

I can suggest my own https://github.com/natario1/Transcoder - it's getting important contributions from the community, clean design and docs (all thanks to @ypresto great work in this repo)

If you looking for forks of this project, I wrote list of them here: https://github.com/ypresto/android-transcoder/issues/75#issuecomment-475877403 Every library has different designs and features, so please choose the one fits your needs. 😉

When this library is created, Android has some unstable behavior around video and need special attention to keep from (silently) corrupted video. Some years later its chips are matured and video have become one of the most important features in mobile app. Above forks would meet for your nice apps in such the age. (Note that I'm already using iPhone 12 :joy:)
