DEPENDENCIES
Tkinter (comes with Windows Installation, python3-tk on Ubuntu, tk on Arch)
ffmpeg (For Windows: https://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ Ubuntu still uses 2.X which considers AAC to be experimental)
pip3 install --upgrade google-api-python-client ffmpy
For Windows:
pip3 install --upgrade pypiwin32
Though not technically a dependency, you'll need OBS (built for OBS Studio, might work on Classic) for this to be worth anything
INSTRUCTIONS
The absolute worse part of setting this up is getting your client_secrets.json file setup correctly. Scroll down to AUTHORIZATION for setting that up.
By default, POC expects F2 and F3 to be your start recording/stop recording keys respectively. You can edit the key in gui_support.py
Edit gui_support.py
- VIDEO_PATH variable to be the same as your recording path in OBS (it's the second line)
- youtube_description (right underneath VIDEO_PATH)
- youtube_keywords (right underneath youtube_description
Put your images for the characters in images/p1-characters and images/p2-characters
Images not included due to possible copyright issues that I don't feel like figuring out.
By default, the program expects the images to be named the following:
