Build failure, ffmpeg-kit dependency removed from Maven Central #119

Description

@ShortTimeNoSee

The project cannot build on fresh checkout due to missing ffmpeg-kit dependency.

The ffmpeg-kit library was officially retired and all binaries were removed from Maven Central as of April 1st, 2025 (announcement).

When attempting to build, Gradle fails with Could not find com.arthenica:ffmpeg-kit-min:6.0-2.

As such,

  • We can't build the project from source
  • Blocks all development and PRs
  • Only affects lossless cut feature (ffmpeg-kit is not used elsewhere)

Possible solutions

  1. Use a community-maintained fork (e.g., TheByteArray/ffmpeg-kit)
  2. Build ffmpeg-kit from source and host artifacts
  3. Find alternative FFmpeg wrapper library
  4. Remove lossless cut feature

My upcoming PR (#120, which is mainly for adding a mirror/flip button) will also include a temporary workaround that comments out ffmpeg-kit usage to allow testing of other features.
