This repository contains the HTML pages and a CGI script that drive a video clip-generating GNU/Linux file server.
The HTML page gen_clips.html presents a simple user interface to
specify desired clips in a feature film and the CGI script does all the
work to generate these clips in two downloadable formats.
The main HTML page, and interface to users:
The server assumes the existence of several .m4v feature-length films
in /srv/ftp/ (this path can be changed in the cgi script). If video
clips are desired, system calls are made to ffmpeg (tested on v.
0.8.3-4).
- Python 2.7
- Apache 2 (with Python support)
- ffmpeg (for video clips only)
Files in www belong in /var/www/, or anywhere Apache serves pages.
playlist.py should be stored in /usr/lib/cgi-bin/, or wherever
cgi-bin scripts are configured to reside.
