Use FFMPEG for audio/video conversions #17

Closed milkey-mouse closed 8 years ago

milkey-mouse commented 8 years ago

Automatically check once-a-day (cron?) on the Zeranoe FFMPEG Builds site for a new version of FFMPEG (using Python of course)

Use p7zip to extract the .7z of the files

Make a simple NSIS installer script based off of the meme.institute GXSCC but with the FFMPEG exe's

Remember to add them to the path!

If any other type than .wav is found in the args try to convert but pipe straight in via subprocess for the wave parsing

Auto-generate FFmpeg installers on meme.institute box using Linux NSIS

In the wiki (Issue #16) have a page about videos and installing FFMPEG using the meme.institute installer

Or just have an installer for everything and make FFMPEG an option (detecting if it's already in the path)

Licensing will be really complicated with the GPL and stuff, this is definitely one of the least important issues

milkey-mouse commented 8 years ago

Looks like the GPL stuff won't be as complicated as I thought, though it might be better to download this automatically after installing only if it's needed

milkey-mouse commented 8 years ago

Maybe use imageio? Kind of overkill for the specific stuff I want (& will be fun to reimplement)

milkey-mouse commented 8 years ago

Ok it now auto-downloads FFmpeg if it needs it for converting audio. It can handle almost any input or output audio format now. Now that it can auto-download I just need to do the videos. (Conveniently, I already have PIL, albeit with no image libraries compiled in on Windows. Export something simple like TGA?).
