# System Requirements
You don't need a very strong device, but I suggest using something that has a good CPU,
otherwise you may need to wait a long time for one video to compress.
# TODO
- [x] Optimize File Cleanup
- [ ] Add compression progress bar
- [ ] Make managing settings easier
- [ ] Add an option to change output file size
- [ ] Make the UI look better
- [ ] Improve Compression Settings
# Troubleshooting
### I can't visit the site from another device
Make sure, that you changed the last line of `app.py` to include:
```
app.run(debug=True, port=5000, host='0.0.0.0')
```
(Also make sure to change the port, if `5000` is already being used)
### Anything else
Please create an issue, and I will try to help you solve it.
