Mydia 2.2

Release 2.2.0

Major features and Improvements

• Support for multiprocessing: Using multiple workers for reading the videos. Resolves #10
  • This is demonstrated in the following example in the docs.
  • By using multiple workers, the process of reading the videos could be significantly sped-up. The results of some tests conducted internally can be viewed here
• New function make_grid(): Returns a grid of frames (numpy array). This is a replacement for the old plot() function. The new approach is faster and more intuitive. See the docs of make_grid() for more details.

Breaking changes

• plot() has been entirely removed, use make_grid() instead.

Bug fixes

• The use of random_state has been fixed, and it now guarantees reproducibility of results (even if using multiple workers)
  • Due to this fix, the custom frame selectors will now receive an additional parameter random_state.
• If ffmpeg produces an error while reading the videos, it will now be displayed via stdout.
