# Includes: All 360° dependencies + exifread
```

### ⚡ Procrastinate Migration (2.x → 3.x)

This library supports both **Procrastinate 2.x** and **3.x** for smooth migration:

#### 🔄 Automatic Version Detection
```python
from video_processor.tasks.compat import get_version_info, IS_PROCRASTINATE_3_PLUS

version_info = get_version_info()
print(f"Using Procrastinate {version_info['procrastinate_version']}")
print(f"Features available: {list(version_info['features'].keys())}")

# Version-aware setup
if IS_PROCRASTINATE_3_PLUS:
    # Use 3.x features like improved performance, graceful shutdown
    pass
```

#### 📋 Migration Steps
1. **Install compatible version**:
   ```bash
   uv add "procrastinate>=3.5.2,<4.0.0"  # Or keep 2.x support: ">=2.15.1,<4.0.0"
   ```

2. **Apply database migrations**:
   ```bash
   # Procrastinate 3.x (two-step process)
   procrastinate schema --apply --mode=pre    # Before deploying
   # Deploy new code
   procrastinate schema --apply --mode=post   # After deploying
   
   # Procrastinate 2.x (single step)
   procrastinate schema --apply
   ```

3. **Use migration helper**:
   ```python
   from video_processor.tasks.migration import migrate_database
   
   # Automatic version-aware migration
   success = await migrate_database("postgresql://localhost/mydb")
   ```

4. **Update worker configuration**:
   ```python
   from video_processor.tasks import get_worker_kwargs
   
   # Automatically normalizes options for your version
   worker_options = get_worker_kwargs(
       concurrency=4,
       timeout=5,  # Maps to fetch_job_polling_interval in 3.x
       remove_error=True,  # Maps to remove_failed in 3.x
   )
   ```

#### 🆕 Procrastinate 3.x Benefits
- **Better performance** with improved job fetching
- **Graceful shutdown** with `shutdown_graceful_timeout`
- **Enhanced error handling** and job cancellation
- **Schema compatibility** improvements (3.5.2+)

### Development Setup

```bash
git clone <repository>
cd video_processor

# Install with all development dependencies
uv sync --dev

# Install with dev + 360° features
uv sync --dev --extra video-360-full

# Verify installation
uv run pytest
```

## 🚀 Quick Start

### Basic Video Processing

```python
from pathlib import Path
from video_processor import VideoProcessor, ProcessorConfig

# 📋 Configure your processor
config = ProcessorConfig(
    base_path=Path("/tmp/video_output"),
    output_formats=["mp4", "webm"],
    quality_preset="high"  # 🎯 Professional quality
)

# 🎬 Initialize and process
processor = VideoProcessor(config)
result = processor.process_video(
    input_path="input_video.mp4",
    output_dir="outputs"
)

# 📊 Results
print(f"🎥 Video ID: {result.video_id}")
print(f"📁 Formats: {list(result.encoded_files.keys())}")
print(f"🖼️ Thumbnail: {result.thumbnail_file}")
print(f"🎞️ Sprites: {result.sprite_files}")
```

### Async Background Processing

```python
import asyncio
from video_processor.tasks import setup_procrastinate

async def process_in_background():
    # 🗄️ Connect to PostgreSQL
    app = setup_procrastinate("postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db")
    
    # 📤 Submit job
    job = await app.tasks.process_video_async.defer_async(
        input_path="/path/to/video.mp4",
        output_dir="/path/to/output",
        config_dict={"quality_preset": "ultra"}
    )
    
    print(f"✅ Job queued: {job.id}")

asyncio.run(process_in_background())
```
