Add 'Tetris Metadata Subtitles Extractor', modules, & CLI menu.

Open r002 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

In the spirit of implementing dubious features that no one specifically requested but I personally find interesting 😅, here's a PR that implements #8, begins adding modules (single monolithic generate.py function, be gone!! 👋), and also adds a basic CLI menu for easier navigation.

In Summary:

Notes:

  • To run: Navigate to your root and run python -m main.runner.
  • All files you're interested in processing need to posses the .mp4 extension and be housed in .\input\.
  • All generated .srt files will be placed in .\output\
  • If you're processing a large file and want to exit early, hitting ctrl-c on your keyboard will exit the main processing loop but not the app.
  • Still need to do a ton of stuff like handle bad CLI menu inputs, etc. It's on the docket. Currently, the app works fine if you behave... 😄

Pictures:

So, for example-- put your input video (*.mp4) files here that you wish to process:

And after running the subtitles generator, your .srt will appear here:

Your generated .srt should look like this:

Using an app like VLC, add the subtitle; it should look like this:

I was just gonna do something similar but saw this PR which is anyway way better than I could've done

Hi @JupeOwl ! Welcome! 👋😄 So great to see a new face here in Yobi World! 😀

Haha, thanks for the kind words! I know some Python, but tbh, there's probably 90% of the standard library that I don't know. Python is so incredibly powerful and can do so much! I'd chatted with Yobi about a month ago in his Discord and in the end we didn't pursue a CLI menu (for good reasons!) but this was still a fun side-project that I'd enjoyed hacking together. I didn't go farther with this at the time, but my thinking was that:

  • Since many newbies might be using the tool, it'd be cool to offer two modes:
    • A CLI menu version for total beginners who are just interested in the Tetris-side (extracting stats, etc).
    • A command line version for old-school, advanced users who are interested in embedding Yobi's tool in their own scripts.
  • My thinking was that once you extracted stats in a plaintext format out of a video, then you could process that metadata in Excel/Sheets/pandas/a Jupytr notebook to do Nate Silver-style/538 analysis. The potential is endless!! 😁

(Btw, if you're curious: I actually ended up writing about my PR/'ideas-for-next-steps' here: https://community.codenewbie.org/r002/2-python-opencv-classic-tetris-monthly-summary-tool-mar-12-2021-nep)

In general, please contribute and make a PR though! Yobi is awesome and Yobi's CTM Summary Tool is awesome! 🎉🌟✨ Seriously though, the world needs more open-source! Open-source is the way! 🚀🚀🚀
