Advanced Snapshot v2025.3 🚀

I'm excited to announce Advanced Snapshot v2025.3, the first major release with powerful new features, stability improvements, and enhancements based on your feedback from the beta phase.

What’s New?

• Image & Video Rotation Support 🔄
  You can now rotate both snapshots and video clips! The output resolution is automatically calculated post-rotation to prevent cropping issues or black borders.

• Smarter Cropping ✂️
  Cropping now adjusts automatically based on the rotation and calculates height using the crop_aspect_ratio. It's now easier than ever to get the framing just right.

• Better Video Quality 🎥
  Video encoding has been optimized with improved crf and preset settings. The default pixel format is now yuv420p, reducing playback issues and artifacts.

• Improved Stream Stability 📡
  RTSP transport is now set to TCP by default, offering more reliable connections. Additional timeout and delay options help ensure compatibility with more camera models.

• RGB Support for Overlays 🌈
  Filters like drawbox and drawtext now accept RGB values and convert them automatically to the correct hex format.

Video Clip Support is Here! 🎬

You can now record short video clips in addition to snapshots — great for automation triggers, motion events, or quick scene captures.
