A Python2 web application that assist radio speakers in recording their shows.
|
|
|
|
|
At the moment, it relies on some details that are specific of our radio (like
|
|
|
|
|
the directory/format of the continous recording).

It is however quite simple to change that specific portion of code, as it is
|
|
|
|
|
modular and all in `forge.py`

Features
|
|
|
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* The interface is extremely simple to use
|
|
|
|
|
* You can have nested recording (ie: to record an interview inside of a whole
|
|
|
|
|
show)
|
|
|
|
|
* There is no user system: any user opening the website will see the complete
|
|
|
|
|
status of the applications. There is, also, nothing stored in cookie or
|
|
|
|
|
similar mechanisms. This means that recording a session does not require a
|
|
|
|
|
browser to remain open, or any kind of persistence client-side: server-side
|
|
|
|
|
does it all.
|
|
|
|
|
* The audio generation has a simple design, so switching from `ffmpeg` to,
|
|
|
|
|
say, `vlc` is simple

Implementation details

It is based on bottle, to get a minimal framework. Simple APIs are offered
|
2013-11-26 14:31:18 +01:00
|
|
|
through it, and the static site uses them.

Jobs are not dispatched using stuff like celery, but with a thin wrapper over
|
|
|
|
|
`multiprocessing.Pool`; this is just to keep the installation as simple as
|
|
|
|
|
possible.

The encoding part is delegated to `ffmpeg`
