.mov to .mp4 Converter

This is a simple Electron app that converts .mov files to .mp4 using ffmpeg.

Install

Check the installation docs for installation instructions.

Development

To get started and launch the app, run:

$ npm install
$ npm start

electron-debug is installed, so you can hit F12 to open the developer tools. When you change files, you can reload the app with cmd-R.

Deployment

To publish the app to GitHub as a new release, you need to do a few things:

  1. Create a 'Mac Developer' code signing identity by following the 'Creating Signing Identities' instructions here: https://goo.gl/9huSjR

  2. Set the GH_TOKEN environment variable to a GitHub access token that has the repo scope. If you need to generate a new access token, you can do so here.

    1. You can put this in a file called .env like so:
    GH_TOKEN=XXXXX
    
    1. Or you can export it on the command line:
    $ export GH_TOKEN=XXXXX
  3. Run:

$ npm run publish
  1. Go to the releases page and publish the drafted release
