Release 2.2.0

This release adds an option for the user to specify recognized video file extensions on the command line or in the config file. Further, support for (corrupted) MKV metadata with respect to duration is added.

Release 2.1.0

Improve preview thumbnail image creation by recognizing if a video is rotated according to metadata and counterrotating preview images accordingly. This will work for rotations of 90°, 180° and 270°. Rotation will also be taken into account when establishing if a video is a vertical video and to decide on switching the number of preview thumbnail rows and columns.

Release 2.0.4

Improve checking of rwx permissions of directories. Fix a bug where preview thumbnails images were not written to the explicitly specified output directory if the directory containing the video files was not writable.

Release 2.0.3

Fix a bug, where option background_color from the config file was not parsed.

Release 2.0.2

Add .mts video extension (MPEG transport stream, older Sony cameras) and fix a typo in option --vertical-video-columns.

Release 2.0.1

The code has been refactored in a completely object-oriented way. It is now possible to easily integrate Python Video Thumbnailer into external Python code. Further, the source has been restructured in order to build a Python package on PyPI.

Release 1.2.0

Add a new argument --no-header and a corresponding config file option no_header. It allows to disable addition of a header with information on file, video and audio metadata and a comment to created preview thumbnails images.

Release 1.1.3

Fix a bug in computation of the font height and an error that occurred with recent versions of pymediainfo, which return the duration as a string representing a float instead of an int.

Release 1.1.2

Replace a deprecated method of Pillow and improve parsing of duration.

Release 1.1.1

Fix an error with the option --recursive.
