# Plan Updates Summary
## Changes Made
### 1. Added Force Transcode Flag ✅
**Location**: `TDARR_MERGE_PLAN.md` - Phase 2, Section 2.1
Added `--force-transcode` flag to the AV1 advanced features section:
```bash
--force-transcode # Force transcoding even if file is already in target codec
```
**Status**:
- ✅ Added to plan
- ⏳ Implementation pending (will be added in Phase 2)
- ✅ Code structure ready (ForceTranscode field exists in AV1AdvancedParams)
### 2. Codec Extensibility Architecture ✅
**New Document**: `CODEC_EXTENSIBILITY.md`
Created comprehensive documentation on how to add future codecs (x264, VP9, etc.):
- **Architecture Pattern**: Each codec follows the same modular pattern
- **Step-by-Step Guide**: How to add a new codec
- **Example Code**: x264 implementation example
- **Integration Points**: How codecs integrate into main pipeline
**Key Points**:
- Each codec gets its own file (e.g., `encoding/x264.go`)
- Codec-specific parameter structs (e.g., `X264AdvancedParams`)
- Shared infrastructure (audio, streams) works for all codecs
- Main pipeline uses codec detection to dispatch
**Updated Files**:
- `TDARR_MERGE_PLAN.md` - Added extensibility notes
- `CODEC_EXTENSIBILITY.md` - New comprehensive guide
### 3. Updated Code Organization ✅
**Location**: `TDARR_MERGE_PLAN.md` - Code Organization section
Updated to show future codec files:
```
encoding/
├── av1.go # AV1 encoding logic
├── x264.go # x264 encoding logic (future)
├── vp9.go # VP9 encoding logic (future)
```
Added extensibility pattern documentation.
### 4. Updated Implementation Priority ✅
**Location**: `TDARR_MERGE_PLAN.md` - Implementation Priority
Added force transcode flag to high priority:
```
5. ⏳ Force transcode flag (`--force-transcode`)
```
### 5. Code Cleanup ✅
**Location**: `main.go`
Removed hardcoded `ForceTranscode = true` and added comment:
```go
// ForceTranscode will be set via CLI flag (--force-transcode) when implemented
// Default: false (skip files already in target codec)
```
## Architecture Benefits
### Modularity
- Each codec is self-contained
- Easy to add new codecs without refactoring
### Consistency
- All codecs follow the same pattern
- Shared infrastructure (audio, streams)
### Future-Proof
- Ready for x264, VP9, HEVC, etc.
- Clear path for implementation
## Next Steps
1. **Implement `--force-transcode` flag** (Phase 2)
- Add flag parsing in `main.go`
- Pass to `AV1AdvancedParams`
- Test with existing AV1 files
2. **Future Codec Implementation** (When needed)
- Follow pattern in `CODEC_EXTENSIBILITY.md`
- Create codec-specific file
- Integrate into main pipeline
