cd WalkingFrames
pip install -r requirements.txt
Create a video folder (input) and images folder (output). This can be anywhere on your computer.
Open framesprocessor.py and set the VIDEO_PATH and IMAGE_PATH at the top of the file.
Make sure the EXTENSION matches the extension of the video files.
Paste videos in your video folder and organise the folders like so:
ALL VIDEOS SHOULD HAVE THE SAME NAMING CONVENTION (S0Xe0X) FOR THE PROGRAM TO RUN
- Run framesprocessor.py
- Enter the current season you wish to process
- Wait for output images to appear in the image folder.
- Repeat for every season
Create a .env file in the project folder and set up the constants.
Create a Twitter developer account and open the developer dashboard
In settings make sure you set up user authentication (read and write). This will allow you to post your tweets.
Go to Keys and tokens and generate the tokens required for authentication.
Paste the newly generated values in the .env file. In case you lose these values they can be regenerated at any time through the developer portal.
All you need to do here is change the TITLE constant to the name of the TV Show/movie you wish to post. You can also change the tweet caption on line 67 if you're posting movie frames.
Rename sample_config.txt to config.txt and configure the starting season, episode and frame.
Find a way to schedule your script to run every X minutes. For windows you can use the task scheduler:
For free accounts you can only post 50 tweets/day, or roughly 1 tweet every 30 minutes.
