Summary
The documentation shows a moderate Windows bias, especially in the Java example where the ffmpeg binary is referenced as 'ffmpeg.exe' and the pathing assumes Windows conventions. PowerShell is mentioned as an upload option before Linux equivalents. Windows-style paths and tools are referenced before or instead of Linux alternatives, and there is no explicit Linux Java example. However, Python examples and Linux mounting instructions are present, mitigating the severity.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux/macOS Java examples, including use of ffmpeg (not ffmpeg.exe) and Linux-style paths.
  • Mention Linux upload tools (e.g., rsync, scp) alongside PowerShell and Azure CLI for uploading dependencies.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific binary names (e.g., ffmpeg.exe) in cross-platform code samples; use generic names or show both.
  • Clarify platform-specific requirements for executable permissions (e.g., chmod for Linux) in all relevant sections.
  • Ensure examples and instructions are presented in a platform-neutral order, or provide parallel examples for each OS.
