Very interested... need help setting up

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I apologize if this is not the best way to contact the developers, but it was 
the only way that I could find.

I was very excited to finally find movie-content-editor. I have been searching 
for something like this for some time, and was about ready to start working on 
a similar project myself.

I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.5 with the default Apple version of Python.

I looked for a readme or a how-to guide, but wasn't able to find one. If there 
is some documentation that I missed and you could point me to it, that would be 
great.

Is the project in a usable state?

I downloaded the source code, downloaded an older version of VLC (since 
libvlc.2.dylib is not in the latest), and set my preferred version of python to 
32-bit, but I still couldn't figure out how to use movie-content-editor (I 
don't have much experience with Python). Is there anything else I need to 
install?

If there is anything I can do to help with testing/development, I'd be happy to.

Thanks!

Nate

I just got it to work for me about 15 minutes ago... :)

I am on Ubuntu and not mac, so I'm not sure how different the install will be.

You're going to need to do a svn checkout to get the code - I'm assuming that 
you're familiar with the command line here...

The command as per the source page is:
    svn checkout http://movie-content-editor.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ movie-content-editor-read-only

You'll need VLC installed on your computer - I'm not really sure how to go 
about that on a Mac, but it is definitely a requirement.  The VLC python 
bindings are looking for VLC to be installed at /Applications/VLC.app/, so 
you'll want to make sure it's located there.

Next, the vlc.py that ships with this project is out of date, so you'll want to 
get the latest at 
http://git.videolan.org/?p=vlc/bindings/python.git;a=blob_plain;f=generated/vlc.
py;hb=HEAD.  Replace the vlc.py file in this project with that one.

Next, you'll need to edit the edit.py file as the VLC python api has one small 
change - on lines 163 and 170, instance.audio_set_mute should be changed to 
player.audio_set_mute.

Finally, open a terminal, cd to the directory, and enter:
   python edit.py

That will play the included Kung Fu Panda clip, filtering out the bad words 
found in badwords.txt.

Overly complicated, I know...  I may do some work on a simpler version of this 
project in my spare time.

BTW, python SubIt.ph -f [filename] will download the subtitles for the given 
filename if it can determine the movie from the file.

Let me know if that works for you!

Thanks,
Jacob

Jacob,

Thank you very much for your help. I finally got it to at least run! Snow 
Leopard is 64 bit and tries to use 64 bit Python, which seems to cause a few 
problems.

1. Followed your steps
2. Downloaded the 32 bit version of VLC
3. Set Mac OS X Snow Leopard to use 32 bit python
4. Installed XCode, QT, SIP, PyQt 
(http://blog.oak-tree.us/index.php/2010/05/27/pyqt-snow-leopard)
5. Built 32 bit versions of SIP & PyQt 
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr-mac-installers/+bug/529987/comments/9)

I appreciate your help!

I would greatly appreciate any help getting this to work on Windows 7. Could 
someone advise on where to put the files, what needs changed, and how to use 
them?  I was able to get it working on Ubuntu (following Jacob's instructions), 
but really want to try it out on Windows. 
Here's what I've done so far:
1. svn checkout (got files using TortoiseSVN)
2. Installed VLC 2.0.4
3. Installed python 2.7.3 for windows x64
4. Made edits that Jacob mentioned above
5. Tried to run the edit.py file using python cmd line 
6. Receive the following error:
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins\Movie Content Editor>python edit.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "edit.py", line 2, in <module>
    import vlc
  File "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins\Movie Content Editor\vlc.py", line
 161, in <module>
    dll, plugin_path  = find_lib()
  File "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\plugins\Movie Content Editor\vlc.py", line
 134, in find_lib
    dll = ctypes.CDLL('libvlc.dll')
  File "C:\Python27\lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 365, in __init__
    self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode)
WindowsError: [Error 193] %1 is not a valid Win32 application

7. Is this because I'm using a 64bit version of Windows?

Thanks for all the hard work that has gone into this!

Got it! Had to install the experimental 64bit version of VLC and put it here: 
C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\vlc\. 

Experimental Windows 64bit VLC can be found here: 
http://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/last/win64/

Now, is there anyway to pause/fast forward/rewind . . .?

to run edit.py I had to add () to print (' ')  and print( msg )

now it runs, but returns "file not found" message when I run it.
Any suggestions?

Windows 7, Python 3.3
