Expose latest generated timelapse as "latest.mp4" #1366

Open henrikeri opened 3 days ago

henrikeri commented 3 days ago

Hi Aaron,

It is possible relatively easily to expose the latest timelapse as "latest.mp4" similar to the latest photo? I expose the photo on a separate web page and would like to add the video as well if there is an easy way for indi-allsky to put it as the name above in a folder. I use this to show the data to non-tech-savvy users whom one could not expect to be able to open it from the timelapse menu after entering user names and passwords :)

Best regards, Henrik

Merged #1368 . This uses the "watch timelapse" view to show the latest timelapse if no ID is specified:

https://hostname/indi-allsky/watch_timelapse

Thanks Aaron this is awesome Is there a meaningful way to access this server side? I am exposing this on a separate webpage to my non-tech users.

I had a look at the folder structure and there does not seem to be an easy way to implement it wihout implementing server side parsing of the folders.

Querying the database is how that view does it. What programming language would you want to do this in?
