## About

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.

### Interface

The main HTML page, and interface to users:

![Form](https://raw.github.com/DavidCain/film_server/master/interface.png)

## Installation

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).

### Dependencies

- 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.
