Check out all the jokes here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIlz3ch2mCxvMQ8x7axTL_Q (this is link to my channel, most recent video should be the DarknetDiaries one. Currently disabled auto updating of this readme with latest ep URL as i'll need to figure out new Github auth thing.)
This is a script that runs regularly to check if a new DD ep is out, & if yes, then the latest joke is appended to YouTube video.
Grab latest ep mp3 from DD website, feed into Google STT to obtain exact joke timestamps, use ffmpeg to cut out joke, append to prev YT vid & re-upload.
main.py is the script start point, gets called by cron every 15 mins to check if a new ep has come out. If it has, new ep name, mp3 & artwork are downloaded. Next using ffmpeg the final 90 secs are cut out and uploaded to Google Cloud Storage. Next spRecogGoogle.py gets called which takes the file from GCS & feeds it into Google Speech To Text API. Once results are recvd from STT API, the exact cut start & cut end timestamps for the joke are identified & returned back to main.py where ffmpeg cuts out the exact joke audio. Next imgPrsg.py gets called which using Pillow library, takes the artwork, makes it fit the pre-defined resolution, adds ep name as overlay on the artwork & returns to main.py. Next ffmpeg joins the mp3 & jpg to make an mkv of the latest joke, which is then appended to the previosly made video. Final video (alongwith timestamped description) is handed over to YouTube API for the upload. The script finals up with updating this very README.md with the latest YT vid URL + deleting prev YT video + cleaning up all the temp files.
The archived folder contains files which were used earlier in the dev stage, including speech recog using vosk.py which I had originally planned to use for local STT faciliation. However had to cancel this as my server's 1 GB RAM was too little for it lol. chapterMaker.py is another file in there which contains a really cool ffmpeg command which auto-detects scene changes in videos. Used this inititally to instantly obtain the YouTube chapters/timestamps from Eps 47 till 124. This joke tradition Jack started from Ep 47 onwards, hence no eps appear before that.
