## Background processing

Update confirmation (RSS feed download) and media file download are performed by an API called WorkManager.

The startup conditions are "network connection", "not in low free space", and "not in low charge". You can add "Unmetered network" to the conditions on the settings screen.

There may be times when the download does not start even if you manually initiate the download, but please be patient and wait with reference to the above.

## Metadata

Uses ffmpeg to add metadata and cover art images.

If no metadata is added or cover art images are added, the distributed media file will be saved as is.
