Python Movie Barcode Creator
=============================
This is a simple script to create "barcodes" from frames of a movie. This works by using ffmpeg to create images from the frames of the video. Then uses [Pillow](https://github.com/python-pillow/Pillow) to extract the dominant color from each frame and then string them together into a "barcode."
Installation:
-------------
Before you install moviebarcode creator, you will need to install ffmpeg. FFmpeg can be downloaded [here](https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html). Or you can install it with your favorite package manager:
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg
brew install ffmpeg
*Note: If you are having troubles getting it to run on Windows because of FFMpeg install issues [see this wiki page](https://github.com/TheNickHurst/MovieBarcodeCreator/wiki/Windows-FFMpeg-Install) for a guide to setting it up*
This script can be installed via pip (either python2 or 3):
pip install moviebarcodecreator
This will also install all dependencies. Or you can install it manually via:
python setup.py install
Usage:
------
From the command line, go to the directory the video file is in and type:
moviebarcode VideoFileName.mpg
And a barcode.png file will be generated, as well as a frame_colors.txt file for faster barcode generation if you ever want to change the size in the future.
###Options:
#####-o, --outfile OUTFILENAME
Name of the generated barcode png. Default is barcode.
####-h, --help
Display the help information.
####-im, -images
Use this command if you want it to make a barcode from the frames themselves instead of the colors.
####-fc, --framecolors
Use this if your already have a frame_colors.txt generated to skip frame and color generation. (Can't be used at the same time as -nf).
####-nf, --noframes
Use this if you already have the movie frames inside a frames directory inside the video directory. This will skip the frame generation process. (Can't be used at the same time as -fc).
*Note: With both -fc and -nf you do not have to specify a video file name if either are used.*
####-nd, --nodelete
The default behavior for the script is to delete all the frames it generates when it's done. Add this -nd flag and the frames directory and all the frames won't be deleted.
####-ht, --height HEIGHT
Set the image height in pixels. Default is 1200px.
####-bw, --barwidth BARWIDTH
Set the width of each bar, before the image get's resized to its final width. Default is 5px.
####-w, --width WIDTH
Set the final width of the barcode in pixels. Default is 1920px.
####-fr, --framerate FRAMERATE
You can set FFMPEG's frame rate with this. Default is 1/24 (1 frame every 24 seconds). Keep in mind, the higher you set the framerate (e.g. setting it to 24 will capture 24 frames per second the average fps for a movie), the more frames are going to be generated and the longer the process will take.
####-ss, --start START
You can set the point you want ffmpeg to start cutting the video into frames.
Format: 01:08:45.000 or 109 (seconds).
####-d, --duration DURATION
You can set how long you want ffmpeg to cut the video into frames.
Format: 01:08:45.000 or 109 (seconds).
####-en, --end END
You can set the point you want ffmpeg to stop cutting the video into frames.
Format: 01:08:45.000 or 109 (seconds).
####-t, --threads THREADS
You can set the amount of threads python will use when generating the colors for the barcode. Default is 8.
------------------------------
####Generate a barcode for a video that is 500x500 without deleting the frames:
moviebarcode VideoFileName.avi -ht 500 -w 500 -nd
####Generate a barcode from previously generated frames and name the barcode test.png:
moviebarcode -nf -o test.png
####Generate a barcode from previously generated frame colors:
moviebarcode -fc
####Generate a barcode with a higher framerate and more threads:
moviebarcode VideoFileName.mkv -fr 1/2 -t 16
####Start the video at 1 hour and 28 minutes and stop after 30 minutes
moviebarcode VideoFileName.mp4 -ss 01:28:00.00 -d 00:30:00.00
####End the video at the 45 minute mark
moviebarcode VideoFileName.mp4 -en 2700
####Make a barcode from the images of the frames, instead of the colors
moviebarcode VideoFileName.mpg -im
Examples:
---------
These examples were generated with (unless noted otherwise):
moviebarcode VideoFile -ht 500 -w 2000
####Interstellar
####500 Days of Summer
####Mad Max: Fury Road
####A Goofy Movie
*Default framerate*
####A Goofy Movie
*higher framerate (1/2)*
####Rick and Morty: The Wedding Squanchers
`moviebarcode VideoName -im -fr 1 -w 8000 -bw 640 -ht 2000`
