Hello,
Thank you for this great script, its what i needed! Hopefully such a feature comes into next release!
I use Ubuntu and have done the following to run it (its not necessary to compile something by yourself!):
Code:
sudo aptitude install ffmpeg imagemagick
then I had to edit the conf file:
Changed the ImageMagick path to
Code:
IMAGEMAGICK_PATH=/usr/bin
(/usr/bin is the default directory for all binaries for debian based systems)
I use a directory for each movie and have a folder.jpg in it. Therfore I also added some code on line 87 in main.py:
Code:
pathname = os.path.dirname(filename)
if os.path.isfile(os.path.join(pathname, "folder.jpg")):
shutil.copyfile(os.path.join(pathname, "folder.jpg"), thumbName)
I uncommented all the three other shutil.copyfile command after that (don't need a backup, my folder.jpg is my backup :-))
Two Questions to the author: First: Is it posible to run it from somewhere else then the base directory? For me this doesnt work, he can't find the other modules I think... Second: I have many mkv files, some with two audio tracks, german and english. It would be great if I can add such overlays for the language, en/de or something like that. I know mkvinfo, which gives me the output which language the tracks are. Do you know if the language is also showed by ffmpeg? ffmpeg -i does it not i think.... (of corse, mkv needs to be tagged the right way, but this is ok in my movies...)
Bye
