Profile, naming, output folder, audio bit depth and auto-reveal toggle now round-trip via ~/.config/nocoder/config.json instead of resetting to defaults on every launch. Alpha is deliberately NOT persisted because the toggle is conditional on the chosen profile and would create more confusion than value when restored from a stale session. * New nocoder/config.py owns the JSON file with read-modify-write merging so multiple writers (hwaccel.py + UI prefs) don't clobber each other. Atomic write via tempfile + os.replace. * hwaccel.py refactored to use the shared load_config / update_config helpers; CONFIG_PATH still re-exported for backward compat. * settings_pane.Settings gains to_persistable() that returns the subset to round-trip; new load_persisted_settings() validates each field against its allowed range and falls back to defaults. * window.py loads settings on startup and persists them every time the settings-changed signal fires (which already covers the folder picker via set_output_folder). Verified: round-trip works, validation rejects bogus values cleanly, hwaccel survives the merge.

# NO-CODER
|
||
|
||
A native GTK4 + libadwaita batch transcoder for Omarchy. Drop video files (or whole camera cards) onto the window, choose a ProRes profile, hit Encode. Output is editorial-ready Apple ProRes `.mov` ready for DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, FCP, Avid.
|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
- **Real ffmpeg encode** — `prores_ks` (with fallback to plain `prores`), live progress bar parsed from `-progress pipe:1`, cancelable, serial queue with disk-space pre-check.
|
||
- **GPU decode auto-probe** — installer tests `cuda` → `qsv` → `vaapi` and pins the working one to `~/.config/nocoder/config.json`. ProRes encoding stays on CPU (no vendor ships a GPU ProRes encoder), but offloading the *decode* side cuts wall time by 25-40% on H.264 / HEVC / AV1 sources.
|
||
- **Theme-aware** — palette tracks the active Omarchy theme on every launch (parses `colors.toml` / `ghostty.conf` / `alacritty.toml` / `kitty.conf` in priority order). 34 stock + custom themes verified.
|
||
- **Pro camera ready** — `.MXF` from Canon XF / Sony XDCAM / Panasonic AVC-Intra, with proxy-directory pruning so dropping a Sony XAVC card maps only the masters in `CLIP/` and not the low-res duplicates in `SUB/`.
|
||
- **Multi-track audio preserved** — Canon C300/C500 records 4 mono PCM streams; all four land in the output `.mov` as separate tracks. Optional 24-bit toggle for pro delivery.
|
||
- **Live encode-speed indicator** — footer shows real `1.5×` throughput from ffmpeg and refines the ETA from actual measured rate, not a fixed heuristic.
|
||
- **Hyprland-aware install** — registers a `.desktop` entry with the walker, installs the icon at six hicolor sizes, appends a windowrule that floats and centres the app at 1280×880.
|
||
|
||
## Supported source formats
|
||
|
||
`.mov` `.mp4` `.m4v` `.mkv` `.avi` `.mts` `.m2ts` `.webm` `.mpeg` `.mpg` `.3gp` `.3g2` `.mxf`
|
||
|
||
**Not supported** (proprietary RAW; ffmpeg has no decoder without vendor SDKs): `.crm` (Canon Cinema RAW Light), `.braw` (Blackmagic), `.r3d` (RED), `.ari` (Arri). Pre-transcode those via Canon Cinema RAW Development / Blackmagic RAW Player / REDCINE-X / ARRI Meta Extract first, then bring the resulting MXF or MOV into NO-CODER.
|
||
|
||
## Install
|
||
|
||
Targets Arch / Omarchy specifically.
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
git clone https://git.no-signal.uk/nosignal/nocoder.git
|
||
cd nocoder
|
||
bash install.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The installer:
|
||
|
||
1. Verifies pacman is present, fails fast otherwise.
|
||
2. Installs missing pacman packages: `python python-gobject gtk4 libadwaita ffmpeg`.
|
||
3. Installs Inter and JetBrains Mono fonts to `~/.local/share/fonts/` (per-user, no sudo).
|
||
4. Probes GPU decode and pins the working backend to `~/.config/nocoder/config.json`.
|
||
5. Copies the source tree to `~/.local/share/nocoder/` so you can delete this clone afterward.
|
||
6. Writes a launcher to `~/.local/bin/nocoder`.
|
||
7. Drops the `.desktop` file and PNG icons into the right XDG locations.
|
||
8. Appends Hyprland windowrules (float, centre, 1280×880) inside a marked block in `~/.config/hypr/windows.conf`.
|
||
9. Restarts walker so the entry appears immediately.
|
||
|
||
After install, **Super+Space → "no"** launches it. Or `nocoder` from a shell.
|
||
|
||
## Updating
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
cd nocoder
|
||
git pull
|
||
bash install.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Re-running the installer wipes and re-copies the live install dir — files removed upstream propagate cleanly.
|
||
|
||
## Uninstall
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
bash uninstall.sh
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Removes the installed app tree, launcher, desktop entry, all six icon sizes, the Hyprland windowrules block, and the per-user config. Pacman packages and fonts are left in place (other apps may need them).
|
||
|
||
## Hardware
|
||
|
||
- **Required:** anything that runs Omarchy / Hyprland.
|
||
- **Recommended:** a GPU with ffmpeg-supported decode (NVIDIA NVDEC, Intel QSV, AMD VAAPI). The probe falls back to CPU decode on systems without; everything still works, just slower on camera-native sources.
|
||
- **No upper limit on cores** — `prores_ks` is well-parallelised.
|
||
|
||
## Configuration
|
||
|
||
`~/.config/nocoder/config.json` is read at launch and merged on every settings change. All keys are optional:
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"hwaccel": "cuda" | "qsv" | "vaapi" | "none",
|
||
"profile": "proxy" | "lt" | "standard" | "hq" | "4444" | "4444xq",
|
||
"naming": "keep" | "suffix",
|
||
"out_dir": "/absolute/path/to/output/folder",
|
||
"audio_bits": 16 | 24,
|
||
"auto_reveal": true | false
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
You can edit by hand to override the auto-probed `hwaccel` or to seed defaults; everything else just reflects what you've picked in the UI most recently.
|
||
|
||
## Known gaps
|
||
|
||
- "Reveal in Files" opens the output folder but doesn't *select* the specific file.
|
||
- Per-row remove button isn't keyboard-accessible (mouse-hover only, by design — keeps tab order clean).
|
||
- No live theme-change pickup — theme swaps apply on next launch, not immediately.
|
||
|
||
## License
|
||
|
||
Not yet specified. The app wraps `ffmpeg` and depends on GTK4 / libadwaita; check those licenses for the redistributable parts.
|
||
|
||
## Credits
|
||
|
||
Born as a rewrite of `prowrap-yad.sh` (a yad-based ProRes batch transcoder), rebranded NO-CODER to lean into the visual identity. The encoding logic from the original bash script is preserved verbatim.
