This update introduces a significant refactoring of the existing code for extracting and comparing the durations of video and audio files using FFMPEG. The main goal of this change is to automate video and audio merging process.
Previously, the script utilized direct shell commands (!ffmpeg) for extracting durations. This update finishes and automates the merging process by incorporating the Python subprocess module and structuring the code into more manageable functions.
Dependencies
FFMPEG: This software needs to be installed and accessible in the system's PATH. FFMPEG is used for all media file manipulations.
Regular Expressions (re module in Python): Used for parsing the duration information from FFMPEG's output.
Type of Change
[x] Code Refactoring (non-breaking change which improves the readability and structure of the code)
[ ] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
[x] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
[ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
[ ] This change requires a documentation update
The refactoring primarily focuses on replacing inline shell commands with Python's subprocess module for better error handling and data processing. Additionally, the introduction of a dedicated function for duration extraction (get_duration) and
How has this change been tested, please provide a testcase or example of how you tested the change?
I've tested this change on several videos and audios, and also on the original NBA youtube video.
