Split *.MTS files into groups #1

Open xamgore opened 6 years ago

We need to be able to divide MTS files into groups, depending on the recording time and the time of lectures. This problem arises from the fact that we have a 128GB SD card, and we record lectures throughout the weeks. As a consequence, at the end of each week we have a bunch of files of this kind:

00000.MTS
00001.MTS
00002.MTS
00003.MTS
...
00027.MTS

For each, you can get the date of creation and group it with the help of the lecture schedule.

# OS X has "%SB" flag
$ stat -f%SB -t '%Y-%m-%d_%H.%M.mp4' ./00001.MTS

But I prefer a python (platform independent) implementation. it is highly recommended to write tests (we will connect them to TravisCI soon).

Look at that nice wrapper https://pymediainfo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Well, now we need some intelligent grouping algorithm, based on schedule.json and (start, duration) info.
