I saw your email just now, hope you're well and safe! Not sure what devices are you on, but If it helps, I think that Android uses less power when booted into Safe Mode.
I'll post my update here as well, if needed we can hop on a call later on. I'm still working on #298, FFMPEG is driving me crazy - even running the same thing that insta360 does within itself does not help here, sometimes process dies, sometimes hangs, still not sure what's going on. On the flip side, potentially there's a way to use Whitebox almost only as a "passthrough" for the video, and offload the transcoding to the frontend - still not sure how viable that would be on an average phone (?), but it might noticeably decrease power usage on an SBC as FFMPEG is a monster.
CI stopped passing, fails due to Playwright, so I could not merge last week's MRs.
python3.10 Docker image got bumped from Debian Bullseye to Trixie, making Playwright fail to install its dependencies.
An issue already exists, which seems to already have fixed Playwright on nightly, so I'm expecting it to get fixed in the following days on the latest published Playwright version. I've created #309 to address this properly for the future once we agree on the exact path. If it does not resolve within the next few days, I'm considering pinning it to
python-3.10.17-bullseye or something as a workaround, but idk if that'd be a proper way to resolve this.
Let me know if I can help in any way!
