Finish up details of using actual start time and actual end time.

[tfabris]

I've added some new code to query actual start and end time instead of using the bad/broken "PublishedAt" variable.

To do in CrowCamCleanup:

• Look at quota history over a few days, Make sure that querying for every video's actual start and end times every six hours isn't busting the quota.
• Modify the code to use the actual real start and end time instead of the PublishedAt time to make the determination regarding whether to delete the video or not.
• Modify the code to skip deletion of any videos which do not have an actual real start and end time.
• Completely remove any attempts to read or use the PublishedAt variable.

To do in crowcam.html (side project):

• Completely remove any attempts to read or use the PublishedAt variable, rely solely on actual real start and end time.

To do after all of the above:

• Change the playlist from "uploads" to "CrowCam Archives".

Also working on: Cache the actualStartTime and actualEndTime in a local file so that I can increase the cleanup/query frequency again.

Done in the checked-in code so far:

• Modified the code to use the actual real start and end time, instead of the PublishedAt time, to make the determination regarding whether to delete the video or not.
• Modified the code to skip deletion of any videos which do not have an actual real start and end time.
• Completely remove any attempts to read or use the PublishedAt variable.
• Changed the playlist from "uploads" to "CrowCam Archives".
• In crowcam.html (side project), completely removed any attempts to read or use the PublishedAt variable, rely solely on actual real start and end time.

To do:

• Update the header graphic on the CrowCam HTML page to reflect the new playlist.
• Try the checked in code on the production server.
• Remember to increase the frequency of the cleanup runs to Hourly.
• See how that does in practice. If it's real good on the quota, then consider maybe doing it every 30 minutes instead of every hour.
• Figure out how to remove deleted videos from the current playlist, if that playlist is a custom playlist rather than the "uploads" playlist. Implement this in the code, so that as you delete old videos, you simultaneously delete their entries in the custom playlist, so that the custom playlist doesn't gather a bunch of deleted videos in it.
• Remove TestFile.sh from the codebase.

Done:

• Updated the header graphic on the CrowCam HTML page to reflect the new playlist.
• Checked in code was tested in SSH and is now running on the production server.
• Increased the frequency of the cleanup runs to Hourly.

To do:

• See how that does in practice. If it's real good on the quota, then consider maybe doing it every 30 minutes instead of every hour.
• Figure out how to remove deleted videos from the current playlist, if that playlist is a custom playlist rather than the "uploads" playlist.

• Remove TestFile.sh from the codebase.

Done:

• Code removes deleted videos from the current playlist, if that playlist is a custom playlist rather than the "uploads" playlist.
• Tested that the code works as intended with both the custom playlist and the "uploads" playlist.

To do:

• See how that does in practice. If it's real good on the quota, then consider maybe doing it every 30 minutes instead of every hour.
• Remove TestFile.sh from the codebase. Also consider leaving it in place so that I can test other stuff later, it's kind of nice to have it.

Quota is good for hourly. I'm not going to try changing the frequency from hourly to half-hourly until I'm back from vacation in December.

I'm keeping TestFile.sh and updating it to be a cleaner testbed.
