Welcome to Media Master, a tool for managing media files. It is a simple utility that allows performing common tasks on media files in an asynchronous manner, so that you can focus on your work without being interrupted by the heavy lifting.
Media Master accepts commands in the form of the following metadata fields associated with each blob:
command: Stringified list containing the command to be executed as the first element and the arguments to be passed to it.email(optional): Email address of the site admin, so that they can be notified in case a user uploads an invalid file.
The currently supported commands are present in the media_maestro/utils.py file.
For example, the following metadata on an image blob would trigger a compression with 80% quality:
{
"command": "[\"compress_image\", 80]",
"email": "email@example.com"
}To see further usage examples, go to upload.py.
