QUESTION
I have Plex installed on my PC, which relies on Python to run. I know nothing about Python, but I can see that it is running in Windows Task Manager. Now, I've got some other unrelated Python scripts that I need to run, but I have no idea how to find where Python is located on my system or how to access it.
According to How can I find where Python is installed on Windows?, I'm supposed to go to my Python interpreter to find out, but I have no idea what or where that is.
This is completely new to me. Could someone hold my hand and walk me through how I can run .py files?

If yes then you can move to the directory, where your py files are located and just type the name of the py file in your terminal, to run it.
If you still cant find the directory, you can use a python interpreter and write:

QUESTION
I'm currently working on a media streaming server using ASP.net Core REST Server. I'm currently using .net 5.0 and ASP.net Core MVC
What I needI need to be able to dynamically down-res the original video file. from 1080p to 720p for example. Also I need to be able to make the media file able to be transcoded to a different encoding based on client capabilities.
What I've TriedI've been looking for a library that can manage this feat, but I can't seem to find one. I thought FFMpeg would be able to do this. I know this is possible because applications like plex and emby seem to manage this.
What I've Done ...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Apr-18 at 15:52Given that you need this to work cross platform, as @Andy said the best solution is ffmpeg. You have two choices:
- Invoke the ffmpeg command line utility from your web process; or
- Compile the libav library suite (which underlies ffmpeg) to each native platform your code might be run on - Windows, Linux, etc. - make a native DLL wrapper, and use P/Invoke in your ASP.NET project to access it.
Command Line Utility
The command line utility is very easy to use and well documented. Documentation is here. Your basic approach would be to include ffmpeg.exe in your web project (make sure you have a version for each platform), and use Process.Start
to invoke it, using the command line arguments to point it to your video file and configure the output. Once the output is finished, you can serve it by returning with File
like in your example. There are also some open source .NET wrappers like this one that could save you some of the work. Unfortunately the command line utility doesn't offer much (any) control once started, or a programmatic way of determining progress. However, these issues should not be a problem if you follow my recommendation at the end.
Libav
If you do need or want total control, however - including frame by frame transcoding, progress reporting, etc. - then you would need to use libav. Before going further, note that you need to use at least some C/C++ to use libav. That means your server code is going to have to run with full trust, and you WILL be susceptible to the security risks of running native code. (Though the same would be true if you used ffmpeg.exe, but at least in that case you don't run the risk of introducing NEW security risks through your own code).
Also know that you can't just find nice clean, always up-to-date downloadable binaries for every platform (at least one reason for which is fear of patent lawsuits). Instead you have to build it yourself for every platform your code might run on. Find your platform(s) on here and then follow the instructions to the letter. If you make a single deviation no matter how small, you won't be able to build it, and you will pull your hair out figuring out why.
Once you have the builds, then your next major task is to expose the APIs you need to your C# code. The documentation for the libav APIs is not a model of clarity. They more or less assume you will look at the code for the ffmpeg command line utility to figure out how to use libav, and that's what you should do. But if you invest the time (days if not weeks) to construct the builds and learn the APIs, you will become a Master of Media. There is virtually nothing imaginable that you can't do using libav.
Now you're finally ready to integrate this into your app. Again you can take two approaches. If you're quite comfortable with C/C++, you should make a new C/C++ DLL project, link the libav DLLs to it, and do most of the heavy lifting there and just export couple of entrypoint functions that you can invoke from C#. Alternatively, you can P/Invoke directly to the libav DLLs, but you will need to do a ton of scaffolding of data structures and functions in C#. Unless you're extremely comfortable with marshalling, I would not attempt this.
In fact, I'm going to recommend going the command line utility route, because -
You Shouldn't Try to Transcode On The Fly Anyway
With all that out of the way, let's talk about your actual gameplan. You said you need to "dynamically" convert the video based on what the client wants/can receive. No one does this. What they do do is create multiple versions of the videos in advance and save each one on the server e.g., a 1080p, 720p, 480p, and maybe even 240p version. Then, the client application monitors the connection quality and, also considering the user's preference, directs the media player to the desired version. The server always serves the version requested and doesn't convert on the fly. Unless you're talking about streaming live events - and if so then that's beyond the scope of my expertise - this is what you should do.
So, what I would advise is use the ffmpeg utility to create different versions of the videos in advance - as part of an import or upload process for example. Track the videos in a database including what versions are available for each. Give the client a way to obtain this information. Then when it comes time to serve the videos, you just serve the one the client requests in a query parameter. Put the logic for determining the desired version on the client - either connection speed and/or user preference.
And Don't Forget to Support Content-Range Requests
Finally, you probably don't want to just use File
to serve the media unless the users are just going to download the files for offline viewing. Assuming people are going to play videos in a browser, you need your API to accept content-range
request headers. Here's a pretty good example of how to do that. Provided you implement it correctly, web browser media players will be able to play, seek, etc., transparently. If for whatever reason the format needs to change, just redirect the URL of the media player to the appropriate version, keep the position the same, and resume playing, and the user will barely notice a skip.
Hope at least some of this helps!
QUESTION
I use youtube-dl to archive specific blogs. I use a custom bash script (called tvify) to help me organize my content into Plex-ready filenames for later replay via my home Plex server.
Archiving the content works fine, unless a blogger posts more than one video on the same date - if that happens my script creates more than one file for a given month/date and plex sees a duplicate episode. In the plex app, it stuffs them together as distinct 'versions' of the same episode. The result is that the description of the video no longer matches its contents, and only one 'version' appears unless I access an additional sub menu.
The videos get downloaded by you tube-dl kicked off from a cron-job, and that downloader script runs the following to help format their filenames and stuff them into appropriate folders for 'seasons'.
The season is the year when the video was released, and the episode is the combination of the month and date in MMDD format.
Below is my 'tvify' script, which helps perform the filename manipulation and stuffs the file into the proper folder for the season.

QUESTION
I'm new to Kubernetes and am setting up a raspberry pi cluster at home and I want to put Kubernetes on it. I have 4 new raspberry pi 4s with 8gb each and one old raspberry pi 2+. There are several hardware differences between the two models but I think technically I can make the old pi2 the master node to manage the pi4s. I'm wondering if this is a good idea. I don't really understand what the consequences of this would be. For instance if I was to expand my little cluster to 8 or 16 pi4s in the future, would my one pi2 be overloaded in managing the workers? I'm really trying to understand the consequences of putting lower grade hardware in control of higher grade hardware in the master/worker node relationship in Kubernetes.
There are three main goals that I have for this hardware. I want to recreate an entire development environment, so some VMs that would host a testing environment, a staging environment, a dev environment, and then a small production environment for hosting some toy website, and then I want to be able to host some services for myself in Kubernetes like a nas storage service, a local github repo, an externally facing plex media server, stuff like that. I think I can use k8s to containerize all of this, but how will having a pi2 as master limit me? Thanks in advance.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Mar-20 at 10:55Normally, kubernetes masters use more resources because they run a lot of things and checks by default. Mainly because etcd and apiserver. Etcd is the database that stores everything that happens in Kubernetes, and apiserver receives all api requests from inside and outside the cluster, check permissions, certificates and so on.
But this is not always truth, sometimes you can have node with a lot of heavy applications, consuming much more resources than masters.
There are always the recommend specs, the specific specs for our business logic and enterprise applications, and the "what we have" specs.
Because you can move pods between different machines, you can remove some weight from your master, no problem.

Install plex
You can use plex like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
