Videoinfo

Videoinfo is a simple tool for aggregating video metadata and capturing/uploading screenshots.

Installation

First, you'll want to install the prerequisite binaries and make sure they are in your PATH.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'videoinfo'

And then execute:

bundle install

Or install it yourself with:

$ gem install videoinfo

Configuration

There are only a few configuration options:

Videoinfo.mediainfo_binary = '/path/to/mediainfo'  # defaults to 'mediainfo'
Videoinfo.ffmpeg_binary    = '/path/to/ffmpeg'     # defaults to 'ffmpeg'
Videoinfo.image_host       = ImageHosts::Imgur.new # can be any object that responds to upload(File)
Videoinfo.interactive      = true                  # defaults to true when using the command line, false otherwise

In scripts

The simpliest way to analyze a movie is with Videoinfo.analyze_movie():

result = Videoinfo.analyze_movie('hackers', 'Hackers.1995.mkv', 0) # => #<Videoinfo::Results::MovieResult>
result.imdb_id         # => "0113243"
result.title           # => "Hackers"
result.plot_summary    # => "A young boy is arrested..."
result.release_date    # => "15 September 1995 (USA)"
result.rating          # => 6.2
result.rating_over_ten # => "6.2 / 10"
result.genres          # => ["Action", "Crime", "Drama", "Thriller"]
result.director        # => "Iain Softley"
result.writers         # => ["Rafael Moreu"]
result.runtime         # => 107
result.imdb_url        # => "http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113243"
result.wiki_url        # => "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers_(film)"
result.trailer_url     # => "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCobCU9FfzI"
result.screenshot_urls # => ["https://i.imgur.com/SoBhWfQ.png", ...]
result.mediainfo       # => "General..."

Or, you can be more explicit:

movie = Videoinfo::Videos::Movie.new('hackers', 'Hackers.1995.mkv', 5)
movie.populate_result!            # => #<Videoinfo::Results::MovieResult>
movie.result                      # => #<Videoinfo::Results::MovieResult>
movie.search_imdb                 # => [#<Imdb::Movie>, ...]
movie.search_wiki                 # => "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackers_(film)"
movie.search_youtube              # => "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCobCU9FfzI"
movie.read_mediainfo              # => "General..."
movie.capture_screenshots         # => [#<Tempfile:/var/folders/l1/qf5v1rlj6n99n20_rhwrp_5r0000gn/T/ss_20.20140803-67537-ur85vi.png>, ...]
Videoinfo.upload_screenshot(file) # => "https://i.imgur.com/SoBhWfQ.png"
