## Installation
You may use pip to install requirements: `pip install -r requirements.txt`
(*note:* requirements are generated via `poetry export -f requirements.txt`)
Otherwise, you can use [poetry](https://python-poetry.org):
```
poetry install # installs the dependency in the current virtualenv,
or creates one specific to the project if no virtualenv is currently active
```
## Configuration
Generate sample files with `python -m prismedia.genconfig`.
Then edit `peertube_secret` and `youtube_secret.json` with your credentials. (see below)
### Peertube
Set your credentials, peertube server URL.
You can get client_id and client_secret by logging in your peertube website and reaching the URL:
https://domain.example/api/v1/oauth-clients/local
You can set ``OAUTHLIB_INSECURE_TRANSPORT`` to 1 if you do not use https (not recommended)
### Youtube
Youtube uses combination of oauth and API access to identify.
**Credentials**
The first time you connect, prismedia will open your browser to as you to authenticate to
Youtube and allow the app to use your Youtube channel.
**It is here you choose which channel you will upload to**.
Once authenticated, the token is stored inside the file ``.youtube_credentials.json``.
Prismedia will try to use this file at each launch, and re-ask for authentication if it does not exist.
**Oauth**:
The default youtube_secret.json should allow you to upload some videos.
If you plan an larger usage, please consider creating your own youtube_secret file:
- Go to the [Google console](https://console.developers.google.com/).
- Create project.
- Side menu: APIs & auth -> APIs
- Top menu: Enabled API(s): Enable all Youtube APIs.
- Side menu: APIs & auth -> Credentials.
- Create a Client ID: Add credentials -> OAuth 2.0 Client ID -> Other -> Name: prismedia1 -> Create -> OK
- Download JSON: Under the section "OAuth 2.0 client IDs". Save the file to your local system.
- Save this JSON as your youtube_secret.json file.
## Usage
Support only mp4 for cross compatibility between Youtube and Peertube
Upload a video:
```
python -m prismedia --file="yourvideo.mp4"
```
Specify description and tags:
```
python -m prismedia --file="yourvideo.mp4" -d "My supa description" -t "tag1,tag2,foo"
```
Provide a thumbnail:
```
python -m prismedia --file="yourvideo.mp4" -d "Video with thumbnail" --thumbnail="/path/to/your/thumbnail.jpg"
```
Use a NFO file to specify your video options:
(See nfo_example.txt for more precise example)
```
python -m prismedia --file="yourvideo.mp4" --nfo /path/to/your/nfo.txt
```
Use --help to get all available options:
```
Options:
-f, --file=STRING Path to the video file to upload in mp4
--name=NAME Name of the video to upload. (default to video filename)
--debug Trigger some debug information like options used (default: no)
-d, --description=STRING Description of the video. (default: default description)
-t, --tags=STRING Tags for the video. comma separated.
WARN: tags with punctuation (!, ', ", ?, ...)

--nsfw Set the video as No Safe For Work (Peertube only as YT API does not support) (default: video is safe)
--nfo=STRING Configure a specific nfo file to set options for the video.
By default Prismedia search a .txt based on the video name and will
decode the file as UTF-8 (so make sure your nfo file is UTF-8 encoded)
See nfo_example.txt for more details

--peertubeAt=DATE
--youtubeAt=DATE Override publishAt for the corresponding platform. Allow to create preview on specific platform
--thumbnail=STRING Path to a file to use as a thumbnail for the video.
Supported types are jpg and jpeg.
By default, prismedia search for an image based on video name followed by .jpg or .jpeg
--channel=STRING Set the channel to use for the video (Peertube only)
If the channel is not found, spawn an error except if --channelCreate is set.
--channelCreate Create the channel if not exists. (Peertube only, default do not create)

## Enhanced use of NFO
Since Prismedia v0.9.0, the NFO system has been improved to allow hierarchical loading.
First of all, if you already used nfo, either with `--nfo` or by using `videoname.txt`, nothing changes :-)
But you are now able to use a more flexible NFO system, by using priorities.
You'll find a complete set of samples in the [prismedia/samples](prismedia/samples) directory.
Let's take the following directory as an example:
```
$ tree Recipes/
Recipes/
├── cli_nfo.txt
├── nfo.txt
├── samples.txt
├── yourvideo1.mp4
├── yourvideo1.txt
├── yourvideo1.jpg
├── yourvideo2.mp4
└── yourvideo2.txt
```
By using
```
prismedia --file=/path/to/Recipes/yourvideo1.mp4 --nfo=/path/to/Recipes/cli_nfo.txt --cca
```
Prismedia will:
- look for options in `nfo.txt`
- look for options in `samples.txt` (from directory name) and erase any previous conflicting options
- look for options in `yourvideo1.txt` (from video name) and erase any previous conflicting options
- look for options in `cli_nfo.txt` (from the `--nfo` in command line) and erase any previous conflicting options
- erase any previous option regarding CCA as it's specified in cli with `--cca`
- take `yourvideo1.jpg` as thumbnail if no other files has been specified in previous NFO
In other word, Prismedia will now use nfo.txt, then directory_name.txt, then videoname.txt, then cli_nfo.txt, and finally the option directly passed in cli.
It allows to specify more easily default options for an entire set of video, directory, playlist and so on.
