Internet Friendly Media Encoder Changelog

What's new in Internet Friendly Media Encoder 8.2

Apr 30, 2024
  • [Fixed] Resolved GitHub issue #226: "Unrecognized option 'cqp'" error encountered when utilizing H.265 FFmpeg AMD AMF with Constant Quantization Parameter.
  • [Fixed] Corrected encoding extraction when importing video files into subtitle/attachment, ensuring accurate remuxing without compromising existing subtitle/attachment data from other videos.
  • [Update] Updated Rigaya Nvidia Encoder to version 7.50.
  • [Update] Updated AVX2 x265 Encoder to version 3.5+119-e112940bb (GCC 13.2).

New in Internet Friendly Media Encoder 8.1 (Apr 30, 2024)

  • [New] Implemented a method to permanently embed subtitles into videos without requiring `fonts.conf`.
  • [Fixed] Resolved an issue with incorrect usage of `Newtonsoft.Json.dll` from NuGet, ensuring compatibility across systems and preventing JSON-related bugs.
  • [Fixed] Adjusted the default splash screen fade duration from 1ms to 5ms to accommodate faster computers where the quick fade was too abrupt.
  • Note: After many years in beta, IFME is now out of beta thanks to the discovery of a method for correctly embedding styled subtitles without the need for `fonts.conf`. This method was uncovered while examining Jellyfin FFmpeg Encoding logs. It may seem trivial, but previous search results often suggested using `fonts.conf`.

New in Internet Friendly Media Encoder 8.0 Beta 13 (Jan 10, 2024)

  • [New] Embrace the Breeze: Introducing automatic cropping and letterbox removal. This feature, independent of stream copy and video resolution, ensures a seamless cropping experience without resizing.

New in Internet Friendly Media Encoder 8.0 Beta 12 (Jan 10, 2024)

  • [Fixed] Precision Polishing: Corrected a minor typo in the Chroma Subsample Pixel (CSP) handling. The issue involved incorrectly appending the Bit Depth for non-YUV formats. Special thanks to Shiniori-raws for bringing this to our attention.
  • [Optimization] Cutting-Edge Performance: IFME now ships with AVX2-enabled encoders (x265, x264) for optimal utilization of modern processors such as AMD Ryzen, Threadripper, Epyc, or their Intel equivalents. Please note that this change may render IFME incompatible with non-AVX2 processors.

New in Internet Friendly Media Encoder 8.0 Beta 11 (Dec 11, 2023)

  • [New] Welcome Rigaya NVEnc: Introducing Nvidia Video Encoder support for GPU-based video encoding.
  • [Fixed] Progress in Motion: Now seamlessly integrates Rigaya NVEnc console output into the status display for a more comprehensive monitoring experience.
  • [Note] Rigaya's Contribution: Rigaya has also developed Intel Quick Sync and AMD VCE plugins, though we couldn't add support in this release due to a lack of hardware for validation. Feel free to explore the plugins in `Pluginsrigaya_nvencc_plugin.video*` and make replacements as needed.

New in Internet Friendly Media Encoder 8.0 Beta 8 (Nov 21, 2023)

  • [Fixed] Addressed a problem with the "Trim Video" input. Instead of validating the input during text changes, validation now occurs when leaving the TextBox control.
  • [Fixed] The "HardSub" CheckBox control now correctly displays the current status (Enable/Disable) of the selected video.

  • [fixed] "Fast Remux" cannot together with "Image Sequence"

  • [change] Plugins Init (Test Encoder) now skip CPU encoder, only test GPU encoder unless "TestRequired" is set to true.
  • [change] AV1 doesnt show total progress, now IFME able to show total % completed
  • [change] AV1 preset in reverse order just like x265 and x264, last item in the list mean slower encoding at higher quality and low bit-rate
  • [update] Showing plugins init error in the log instead on Splash Screen...
