cleanup of all scripts into one: makemovie/makevideo/makedailymovie

[ozett]

my usecase is a little surveillance cam on the raspberry.
and i want to keep a simple and clear archive of daily-happenings.

1. therefore i use the scripts to create a daily movie of the daily motion-recordings
2. a script for making a movie of the daily-timelapse.jpgs
3. an let the scripts clean up the recordings-folder (deletion/archive in daily folder would be nice).

now as there are three scripts for that in the source, it could get confusing between functions and options between all three scripts. my suggestion would be, to make one clear script with options and a single config-file.

what do you think? 😇

Greetings Yes combining and reading settings from a conf file is a good idea. This should be pretty simple with a bash script since you can just specify a source filename to read variables (or code) from another file. Will see if it will override default variable settings already in script.. I will give this a try. Making one large file might affect performance for the auto conversion of h264 to mp4 since it is done as a subprocess, so keeping the size of that might be better (but may be cached by os so may not be an issue. Remember I just wrote this for myself and decided to share, so a lot of what I did was adhoc. It is nice to have another perspective. Will see if I can have one project conf file that will override existing default variables. Claude ...
