FFmate Release Notes

An overview of new features, enhancements, and bug fixes for each version.

Version 1.1.0 (14-07-2025)

Automatic Output Folder Creation
FFmate now creates output directories automatically if they do not exist.
FFmpeg Detection
FFmate checks for FFmpeg in the system’s default PATH or the location specified by the --ffmpeg flag, and logs a warning in both the web UI and logs if it’s not found.

Docker Debug Mode Disabled by Default
The Docker image now ships with debugging turned off by default.
Removed AI Endpoint and flag
The /ai endpoint and the --ai flag introduced in v1.0.8 have been removed in favor of a future database-driven configuration setting.

Script Error Logging
FFmate now logs stderr output when a pre- or post-process script exits with a non-zero code.

Windows Support
FFmate is now fully compatible with Windows. A dedicated installer is available for download — get it here.
New API Endpoint: /client
Introduced a new endpoint that returns detailed information about the client environment, including system architecture, operating system, and FFmate version.
FFmate AI (Preview)
Initial support for the upcoming FFmate AI assistant is now available. This release includes:
- A new --ai flag to enable AI-related features
- A new /ai REST endpoint to retrieve model-related information
Suspend Watchfolder Scanning
A suspended flag has been added to enable temporary pausing of active watchfolders without removing or modifying their configuration.

Automatic Update Checks
FFmate now performs periodic checks for new releases. When an update is available, a notification appears in the web UI or is printed to the console in headless mode.

Reduced CPU Usage in Queue Processing
Resolved an issue where the task update loop executed too frequently, resulting in high CPU usage.
