• Is every instance of subprocess.Popen() its own shell ?

  26 avril 2021, par saa-sof

  Background :
I'm trying to make an application that plays music via a GUI (Tkinter), Youtube_DL and FFmpeg. While the actual application is done it also requires FFmpeg to be an environment variable to work. Now, I'm trying to foolproof the creation of a "personal" FFmpeg environment variable in order to make the application portable (the last step is using pyinstaller to make a .exe file).

  


  Problem :
I'm trying to create the environment variable for FFmpeg by passing SET through subprocess.Popen :

  


  add_ffmpeg = subprocess.Popen(f"IF EXIST {path2set} SET PATH=%PATH%;{path2set}", shell=True)


  


  When I try to echo %PATH% (with Popen) the FFmpeg variable that should be present, is not. I just need to know whether or not I'm wasting my time with SET and should instead be using SETX or perhaps some other solution, I'm open to being told I did this all wrong.

  


  Relevant Code :

  


  # get any sub-directory with ffmpeg in it's name
ffmpeg = glob(f"./*ffmpeg*/")

# proceed if there is a directory
if len(ffmpeg) > 0:
    # double-check directory exists
    ffmpeg_exist = path.isdir(ffmpeg[0])

    if ffmpeg_exist:
        print("FFmpeg: Found -> Setting Up")
        
        # get the absolute path of the directories bin folder ".\ffmpeg-release-essentials.zip\bin"
        path2set = f"{path.abspath(ffmpeg[0])}\\bin\\"
        
        # add path of directory to environment variables
        add_ffmpeg = subprocess.Popen(f"IF EXIST {path2set} SET PATH=%PATH%;{path2set}", shell=True)
        add_ffmpeg.wait()
        
        # print all of the current environment variables
        list_vars = subprocess.Popen("echo %PATH%", shell=True)
        list_vars.wait()

else:
    print("FFmpeg: Missing -> Wait for Download...")
    
    # download the ffmpeg file via direct link
    wget.download("https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ffmpeg-release-essentials.zip")
    
    # unzip the file
    powershell = subprocess.Popen("powershell.exe Expand-Archive -Path './ffmpeg-release-essentials.zip' "
                                  "-DestinationPath './'")
    powershell.wait()

    # remove the file
    remove("./ffmpeg-release-essentials.zip")

    # get any sub-directory with ffmpeg in it's name
    ffmpeg = glob("./*ffmpeg*/")

    # double-check directory exists
    ffmpeg_exist = path.isdir(ffmpeg[0])
    
    # proceed with if it exists
    if ffmpeg_exist:
        print("FFmpeg: Found -> Setting Up")
        
        # get the absolute path of the directories bin folder ".\ffmpeg-release-essentials.zip\bin"
        path2set = f"{path.abspath(ffmpeg[0])}\\bin\\"
        
        # add path of directory to environment variables
        add_ffmpeg = subprocess.Popen(f"IF EXIST {path2set} SET PATH=%PATH%;{path2set}", shell=True)
        add_ffmpeg.wait()

        # print all of the current environment variables
        list_vars = subprocess.Popen("echo %PATH%", shell=True)
        list_vars.wait()
        
    else:
        print("Something unexplained has gone wrong.")
        exit(0)


  


• video hosting with PHP api or PHP script for social network project

  17 avril 2014, par al404IT

  I have a project for a small social network where user can upload their videos, video should not be longer than 1 or 2 minutes but they need to be private and related to user that uploaded.

  Since uploaded video may be in many different format I have two options :

  • upload video and use ffmpeg to process them, can i find any PHP script that does that ? PROS I have my files on my server and I'm not dependent from third party CONS I guess is a real intensive task and I may need a quite good noting plan since the beginning of this project

  • use a video hosting service that provide API to upload and process video, i actually find vzaar.com that may seems to do what I need. PROS Scalable CONS I rely on third party for my contents

  since the project is a small social network it may be interesting this too opusphp.com, but i never user or read about

  can Vimeo PRO suite my needs ? Other suggestions ?
  In future it may be necessary to add a basic video editing function to trim uploaded video setting starting and ending point

• Parlez-Vous Binutils ?

  18 juillet 2010, par Multimedia Mike — General

  I found myself in need of some binutils today. What do you suppose it is about this basic Apache file listing page that makes Google Chrome think it’s in French ?

  
  
  

  Opting to translate doesn’t seem to have any affect, aside from ruining the alignment of the columns.

  That quirk aside, the page translation facility is actually quite nifty.
