OutputFormat was a closed enum of twelve (container, videoCodec, audioCodec)
triples, defended on the grounds that a closed set was what made routing
decidable. Two things it could not express: changing the container while copying
the streams, and choosing codecs per track.
OutputSpec replaces it as the vocabulary; OutputFormat stays as presets over it.
Decidability moves to ContainerCapabilities, which is explicit and unit-tested
rather than implicit in whichever combinations somebody enumerated.
The matrix is indexed by (container, codec, trackType, mode), not one boolean.
"Can MP4 carry AV1" and "can this app encode AV1" have different answers, and
copy is where the difference shows: a single flag would refuse a legitimate
remux or promise an encode neither engine can deliver.
COPY is a codec value rather than a flag, so every exhaustive `when` in the
codebase had to say what it does about copying. CopyPlanner resolves it before
anything else reads the request, and inherits ConcatPlanner's rule that an
unproven match is never a copy — a needless re-encode costs time, a wrong stream
copy costs a file that will not play.
Container now drives -f, the extension and the SAF MIME type, so Matroska
without video is .mka and MP4 without video is .m4a without a preset for each.
FLAC was declared as Container.MKV with a .flac extension, inert only while
nothing read the container; it now has its own. Six containers added: MOV, MKV
audio, MPEG-TS, AVI, FLV and WMV/ASF.
Routing asks the plan, never the request. COPY belongs to none of the capability
sets, so testing the request directly sends every remux to FFmpeg on the first
check — and nothing notices, because -c copy produces a correct file, just on
the CPU. The router also learns what Media3 can *carry* as opposed to encode:
its MP4 muxer takes AAC, Opus, Vorbis and PCM but neither MP3 nor FLAC.
MediaProbe now separates "no video track" from "could not parse" and reports the
source container, which MediaExtractor cannot supply at all. FFprobe runs on
every pick for that reason, not as a fallback.
The Advanced picker shows the whole matrix and lets an impossible combination be
selected on purpose, then explains it and offers alternatives. Convert is what
blocks the job. ConversionWorker validates too, so a stale queued spec fails with
the reason rather than being coerced into something else.

Done now rather than later: the application ID is permanent once published --
Play treats a change as an entirely different app -- so this is the last
cheap moment to choose it.
applicationId / namespace dev.jasonmross.mediaconverter -> org.libremediaconverter
source tree java/dev/jasonmross/mediaconverter -> java/org/libremediaconverter
gradle project AndroidMediaConverter -> LibreMediaConverter
theme Theme.MediaConverter -> Theme.LibreMediaConverter
compose theme MediaConverterTheme -> LibreMediaConverterTheme
display name "Media Converter" -> "LibreMediaConverter"
org.* rather than dev.jasonmross.* because "Libre" signals a project rather
than a personal app, and a project-owned namespace lets maintainership move
later without the identifier contradicting reality.
The source trees moved with git mv so history follows the files instead of
showing 42 deletions beside 42 additions.
Verified after the rename: 66 unit tests, and 40 instrumented tests on an
API 36 emulator, 0 failures. The built APK reports org.libremediaconverter,
and no stale jasonmross, AndroidMediaConverter or MediaConverterTheme
identifiers remain anywhere in the tree.
