Search across subtitle files to find relevant screenshots

Requirements

• Node
• vagrant
• ffmpeg
• mkvtoolnix
• Python (or any simple HTTP server) for serving images

Usage

• Clone this repo with --recursive and run npm install

• Place .srt files into ./subs

• Run node srt.js to write subtitles as JSON into ./json

• Start the Elasticsearch vagrant box in ./elasticsearch with vagrant up

• From the ./json folder, post the converted subtitles to Elasticsearch using find . -not -name .gitignore -exec curl -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/jerryatric/screen/{}' -d @{} \;. While this is running, you can open another terminal and run curl 'localhost:9200/_cat/count?v' to check the document count. If all goes well it should index 1 document for every file in ./json (excluding the .gitignore)

• Create 1 screenshot per second from your video files with something like ffmpeg -i Video.mkv -vf fps=1 %d.png. Each video file should have it's screenshots saved into a separate folder, and serve the root folder with python -m SimpleHTTPServer

• Set up the web application in ./webapp with npm install
