v1.7.0 beta 5

• Change: Keyboard shortcuts changed (#196):
  • When plot window is focused, Ctrl+P can be used to close it. So now you can press Ctrl+P to open/close plot window (previously plot window could be toggled with Ctrl+P only when main window is focused).
  • Ctrl+Shift+W can be used to exit the program (in addition to Alt+F4)

v1.7.0 beta 4

• Change: Video streams scaling logic for VMAF calculation changed (#190):
  • "Upscale to model's resolution" renamed to "Scale to model's resolution" as it is now upscaling or downscaling
  • When the checkbox not ticked, distorted is scaled to ref's resolution before VMAF calculation
  • When the checkbox is ticked (default), both ref and distorted are scaled to model's resolution if their resolution differ from model's resolution more then 10% (the threshold can be changed in FFMetrics.conf)
• Change: Tiny UI adjustments

v1.7.0 beta 3

• Change: From now FFMetrics using libvmaf options model=path='path' & model=enable_transform=true|false instead of deprecated model_path='path', phone_model=1|0 & enable_transform=true|false (#195)
  This is for fixing an issue where VMAF gives an error when 'Phone' checkbox is ticked with FFMpeg version that does not support deprecated options mentioned above.
  • If your FFMpeg version is 5.1 or higher and you did not change Metrics.VMAF.Filter value in FFMetrics.conf -- you do not need to do anything.
  • If your FFMpeg version is 5.1 or higher and you changed Metrics.VMAF.Filter value in FFMetrics.conf -- align its value with new default (provided in FFMetrics.conf.example)
  • If your FFMpeg version is lower then 5.1 the VMAF calculation will stop working and you will need to migrate to newer FFMpeg version or create FFMetrics.conf and adjust Metrics.VMAF.Filter value as in previous FFMetrics version:
    "libvmaf=eof_action=endall:log_fmt={{log_fmt}}:log_path='{{log_path}}':model_path='{{model_path}}':n_threads={{n_threads}}:n_subsample={{n_subsample}}:phone_model={{phone_model}}:pool={{pool}}:model=version={{model_version}}"
