missing_linux_example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates some Windows bias, particularly in the Java example where the ffmpeg path is hardcoded to use the Windows-style executable (ffmpeg.exe) and there is no mention of Linux equivalents or cross-platform considerations. Additionally, the Java example only references the Windows path and does not provide a Linux-compatible example or guidance. The Python sections are more Linux-oriented, especially in the file share mounting section, but the Java section lacks parity.
Recommendations:
- In the Java example, provide both Windows and Linux examples for the ffmpeg path (e.g., ffmpeg.exe for Windows and ffmpeg for Linux), and explain how to detect or configure the correct path based on the environment.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform considerations in all code examples, such as file path separators and executable extensions.
- Add a note or example for Java on how to set executable permissions on Linux (e.g., using chmod), similar to the note provided in the Python section.
- Ensure that all references to tools (like ffmpeg) and file paths are platform-agnostic or provide both Windows and Linux variants.
- Where PowerShell or Windows-specific tools are mentioned (such as in the upload section), ensure Linux CLI alternatives are equally described and not listed after Windows tools.
