Tool for generating OSD for Walksnail DVR

That's easy, drag and drop files into UI, click Generate. Then import generated sequence into and video editing software and adjust framerate to 60fps if needed.

How to run

Windows

Nothing to do, Go to Release page

Linux / MacOS

Disclamer: I've tried my best to make it work on all systems, but it's only tested on Windows. So it might not work as expected on other systems.

Only works with Python 3.10 due to issues with wxPython and python-opencv libs

Install ffmpeg:

For Linux:

sudo apt install ffmpeg 

For MacOs:

brew install ffmpeg

Then clone respotiory and run app

git clone https://github.com/kirek007/ws-osd-py.git
cd ws-osd-py
make run

CLI

Thanks to @odgrace it's now possible to run tool without GUI (which is quite complicated sometimes).

pip install -r requirements-noui.txt
python3 cli.py -h #It will list all required parameters

Common issues for linux:

If there is an issue with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'attrdict' try to install wxPython from wheel.

Get packge link from here https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3

eg. for Ubuntu 20: https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ubuntu-22.04/wxPython-4.2.0-cp310-cp310-linux_x86_64.whl

source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -f <link to package> wxPython
