# Hobby Web Application for Video Conversion and encoding.
This hobby web application is designed to convert x265 MKV video files to x264 MP4 format using ffmpeg, embed multiple subtitles and audio files into the resulting MP4, and ensure efficient streaming compatibility with browser-supported video on a personal media server. The application uses React for the frontend and Node.js and ffmpeg lib in the backend.
## Features
- Convert x265 MKV video files to x264 MP4 format.
- Embed multiple subtitles and audio files into the resulting MP4.
## Installation
### Prerequisites
- Node.js
- npm (Node Package Manager)
- ffmpeg
- lm-sensors
### Steps
1. **Clone the Repository**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/your-repo-name.git
cd your-repo-name
```
2. **Install Dependencies**
Navigate to the backend directory and install the dependencies:
```bash
cd backend
sudo apt install lm-sensors
npm install
```
Then, navigate to the frontend directory and install the dependencies:
```bash
cd ../frontend
npm install
```
3. **Configure ffmpeg**
Make sure `ffmpeg` is installed and accessible in your system's PATH. You can download it from [ffmpeg.org](https://ffmpeg.org/download.html).
4. **Set Up Environment Variables**
Create a `.env` file in the `backend` directory and add necessary environment variables:
```plaintext
PORT=6001
CPU_CORES=8 #specify the number of cores as per your machine
```
5. **Run the Application**
Start the backend server:
```bash
cd backend
npm start
```
Start the frontend development server:
```bash
cd ../frontend
npm start
```
6. **Access the Application**
Open your browser and go to `http://localhost:3000`.
Enter the admin ==username: admin and password: admin==
## Usage
1. **Store the mkv file to be converted into the media/videos folder**
2. **Configure Subtitles and Audio click on encode video**
3. **Watch the encode status and watch all the completed, waiting, error encodes**
