enigmamachine

Enigmamachine is a video processor which queues and encodes videos according to target profiles that you define. Videos must be on a locally mounted filesystem. The processor takes the path to the video, and executes multiple ffmpeg commands on the video. There is a handy web interface for defining encoding tasks, and a restful web service which takes encoding commands.

Enigmamachine is written using Sinatra, Thin, and Eventmachine.

Current Status

The basic Sinatra application and the encoding queue work, but the app needs to be packaged up as a gem and all the niceties of running the server need to be made more convenient.

The biggest problem is that it was done on a whim (i.e. without test-first development) since it was just a sketch at first - this needs to be fixed.

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

  • Fork the project.

  • Make your feature addition or bug fix.

  • Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

  • Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

  • Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
