#2Seeing the need for polling the job status is off putting, especially for a js api that already is using async. If you _need_ to use polling, at least provide a convenience method I can just await. Better yet, add some signaling to the http api via eventsource or something.

Thank you! We do have one - `runAndWait`. I will shortly update the docs and I agree that using SSE would be more efficient than polling. Will add that next!

Long polling would be cool!

#5Looks really cool. I've thought about building a business around ffmpeg myself. Btw, your self hosting link is broken.

Highly prefer and recommend websocket connections for polling. This is what I ended up doing for my side project's video encoding needs[1]. It lets me get silky smooth progress indicators on multiple encoding resolutions at once.

Thanks! Oops, good spot. Updated it.
This is where it was supposed to go https://docs.streampot.io/installation.html

Do you mean over* polling (instead of polling)? Polling (repeatedly asking the server) and pushing (the server telling you directly) are two different things; polling over WebSocket seems sort of weird.

#10Somebody please bring fully functional ffmpeg to Android via F-Droid please, one which is not compiled against /storage/emulated/0/ like Termux, etc, are. Many users rely on multiple profiles and don't run anything in the primary profile. I know of nothing right now like this. No FFshare doesn't work for purpose as outlined.
Bonus if all of Termux can be fixed for secondary Android profiles,
