No need to apologize. You created an awesome app. I'm just sad that there is foss solution on Android, but it seems to be abandoned and the last version sucks. :-(

That would be such a handy tool.. But it's very slow since it doesn't seem to use gpu acceleration. Nowadays with 4k and 60fps being common using a native library like Mediacodec is a must. Also you can't set Bitrate, that's the most important setting for streaming videos.

#amethyst has built in image and video compression using gpu acceleration. I think we can make it even better to create faster streaming videos for nostr.

This is awesome. I was always a little wary about using #Amethyst for media compression. It gives me very little information about what is going on. If you can change that with smart configs, it would be a game changer.
