Watchdog and removal of files about codem-transcode HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi, glad you find it useful!

As for monitoring a folder, you would have to write a script yourself to watch a folder for any changes and then create a job for each new file. Then, after the job has completed you can remove the source file. Codem does not provide this functionality by itself, most people want to integrate it in their own workflow where they already have other processes taking care of ingest and/or delivery.

For example, both Ruby and NodeJS provide easy ways to hook into filesystem events so you get notified if anything changes. For Ruby, check out the "listen" gem (https://github.com/guard/listen), for NodeJS, check out fs.watch (http://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_watch_filename_options_listener).

Ok, thanks.

Some other thing: I need to execute a filter-complex action with ffmopeg, which requires 2 files as inputs (.mov and .png). How could I do that with transcodem ?

thanks again

It might, but depends on the kind of command you are using. Can you post the ffmpeg command? I presume you mean to use it as some kind of watermark/overlay?

from codem-transcode.

Sure:

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -i my-overlay.png -filter_complex '[0:v][1]overlay=0:0[outv]' -map [outv] -map 0:a -c:a aac -ab 192k -vcodec libx264 -vb 9000k -strict experimental $file.mp4

I did try a curl command with that, ffmpeg completed the job but the overaly was not apllied: I used:

curl -d '{"source_file": "myfile.mp4","destination_file":"myout.mp4","encoder_options": "-i my-overlay.png -filter_complex '[0:v][1]overlay=0:0[outv]' -map [outv] -map 0:a -c:a aac -ab 192k -vcodec libx264 -vb 9000k -strict experimental"}' http://localhost:8080/job

I do have another two question about the codem-schedule:
1 - When i call jobs from curl, like these one above, it does not show it in the dashboard.
2 - I do create a new job though the we browser and it shows as "scheduled" in the dashboadr bit it never starts.. how do i trigger it ? Already have a working host in it. Is there other documentaion about the schedule ?

many thanks in advance

Hi again..

I did suceed with all 3 tasks..

For the overlay, using the preset without quotes did the trick: -i /media/dados/md.png -filter_complex [0:v][1]overlay=0:0[outv] -map [outv] -map 0:a -acodec libfaac -ab 192k -vcodec libx264 -vb 9000k

for 1: using the codem script documented here I could achieve! http://transcodem.com/documentation/codem.html
for 2 : I did realize how to trigger actions and updates with the curl command in cron ;)
