Watch a folder on the system and broadcast change event in realtime to the spacebro galaxy. The spacebro server serves on http the media which has been: add
, change
, or delete/unlink
Super useful to automatically:
- ๐ผ upload media to a remote service
- ๐ฅ create automated post-production process
- ๐ listen for file uploads on a ftp folder
- ๐ค anything a bot could be good at
It emits a message which looks like this:
{
namespace: String (name-with-dash),
src: String (URI format),
path: String (file path)
}
Since, we remove mediaInfo in favor of ffprobe, you should be able to use the package as is. We use @ffprobe-installer/ffprobe to install ffprobe with the correct binary. If you encounter some difficulies, make sure ffmpeg is installed.
Use npm i
to install dependencies.
The settings follow standard-settings format. You can change them to fit your needs:
{
"server":{
"port": 36400
},
"service": {
"spacebro": {
"host": "spacebro.space",
"port": 3333,
"client": {
"name": "chokibro",
"description": "Tool to watch a folder and send new media added in folder",
"out": {
"outMedia": {
"eventName": "outMedia",
"description": "New media added in folder tracked by chokibro",
"type": "all"
},
"unlinkMedia": {
"eventName": "unlink-media",
"description": "Media removed in folder tracked by chokibro",
"type": "all"
}
}
},
"channelName": "info-stream"
}
},
"folder": "./assets",
"checkIntegrity": false,
}
-
Start spacebro in a terminal window:
spacebro
-
Start chokibro:
npm run start
By default, chokibro is listening for the assets folder and exposes it over a static file server at the ipv4 available address on the 6161
port.
- Drag and drop a file into the assets folder. See how spacebro reports the event.
