convid.sh -- join does not delete mp4 #42

Closed ozett closed 7 years ago

ozett commented 7 years ago

hi,

i used convid.sh to join my daily recordings. these are in .mp4 format since i set pi-timolo in your new version to immediately convert all h264 recordings into mp4.

as i would like to join them into one file, i would also like to cleanup/delete the single-files afterwares. but convid.sh does not have this option.

if you are considering one-script for all movie-operations, you may want to consider deletion after join 😵 😁

Default is to delete. Can you check permissions. I pi-timolo is running from /etc/rc.local and is not being run as pi user then root may own the files and they are not getting deleted. Entry should be

su pi -c "/home/pi/pi-timolo/pi-timolo.sh start > /dev/null"

Check permissions.

i meant deletion of original mp4 files, but it seems to be my fault... the old ones are deleted, but as the process finished, there are still (again) 52 files.

at first sight this looked like a lot an i thought there had been no deletion, but this count was the reserve or meanwhile new files ... (?)

so the only thing left of convid.sh join seems to me the resulting filename. evertime the same confid__.mp4 maybe better to use time-day-options... or as a name from-time_to_time...?

just to give some feedback: convid was not put on cronjob by me. i forgot. than i started it after a while. now it runs since 3 (or more) days now, on my raspi-one. and its still running 😄
