• Turn local cleanup on/off with the cleanup value in /src/config/config.ts
• To get signed URLs from bucket storage, use the signedUrls value in /src/config/config.ts
• $ npm run clean

How do I run the app?

On mac

Go to http://localhost:3000 in a browser.

You can encode a video with the default setting by only selecting a video and not changing any of the options on the web form

App Overview

• Entry point of the encoder is in src/control/workflow.ts in the initWorkflow function.
• The workflow is constructed with an array of functions in setWorkflow in workflow.ts
• Encoding processes, file system processes, and storage upload processes are designated to their own respective files in the src/processes directory
• All client code is in the client directory, and is a very rough bootstrap design with a single ajax form.
• Workflow status is polled, and accesses the javascript object in src/control/status.ts
• All workflow specific values are stored in the options, which are passed through the application until completion.
