Design

1. Given a schedule file in XML format, and a subevent id
2. This script parses it, and extract all timeslots for this subevent id
3. For each timeslot, generate a Intro video, a QA video and an Exit video.
   1. slides/*-template.html contains html templates for these three slides
   2. This python script renders the templates into still images
      • Render once for each different video frame.
      • The only thing that can change is the clock image (or text). The clock changes every minute.
      • For video < 1min, we only need one frame (no clock updates)
      • For vidoe > 1min, we then need to render the template multiple times, one for each minute.
        • unimplemented
   3. Then the script generates slide videos from the images

Install

MacOS: bash ./setup-macos.h

Ubuntu: bash ./setup-linux.h

Run:

Generate splash videos:

• For all events in all streams: ./gen-events.py
• For one stream: ./gen-events.py --steam=SPLASHI
• For one event: ./gen-events.py --stream=SPLASHI --event=5d1aeb28-75c6-4924-8e7a-5cbbe33cfacd

Generate fillers:

• For all streams: ./gen-fillers.py
• For one stream: ./gen-fillers.py --stream=SPLASHI
• For one break: ./gen-fillers.py --stream=SPLASHI --time=16:30

A means this video is used for the first round of 12-hours streaming.

B means the second round of streaming.

TODO

• Keynotes get filtered out? (because no event_id present)
• Styles
• 12 Background images
• Location name in top right corner
• Display times for 13 different time zones
• Top left corner: current stream
• Better sponsor logos
• Display auther names
• Calculate time for qa-transition videos
• Potential corner cases?
• Output naming convention
• Missing recorded_duration for some pre-recorded videos

Low Priority:

• Fade-in animation for outro videos
• High-resolution images
