πŸ™‰ What is this exactly?

Vidmerger is a command-line-tool which uses ffmpeg to merge multiple video-files with the same file-extension together into one file called output.FORMAT. It also includes a usage help πŸ€—

USAGE:
    vidmerger [OPTIONS] <DIR>

ARGS:
    <DIR>    Sets the directory to use

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -p, --preview    Prints previews of the merge-orders without merging them
    -V, --version    Prints version information

OPTIONS:
    -f, --format <format>   Specifies which formats should be merged individually,
                            the default is πŸ‘‰ avchd,avi,flv,mkv,mov,mp4,webm,wmv
    -s, --scale <scale>      Scales all videos up before merging, a valid value would be "320:240"

✨ Installing / Getting started

You can install it on all the three major operating systems πŸ€—

Homebrew 🍺 on MacOS 🍏

brew install ffmpeg # prerequisite
brew tap tgotwig/vidmerger
brew install vidmerger

Homebrew 🍺 on Linux 🐧

sudo snap install ffmpeg --edge # prerequisite
brew tap tgotwig/linux-vidmerger
brew install vidmerger

Chocolatey 🍫 on Windows πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ

choco install ffmpeg # prerequisite
choco install vidmerger

⭐️ Using Vidmerger ⭐️

First of all lets see what we have:

β†ͺ exa -lh | awk '{print $2,$7}'
Size
328k 1.mp4
328k 2.mp4

now just run the following line:

β†ͺ vidmerger .

Order of merging πŸ‘‡

file '1.mp4'
file '2.mp4'

Calling: 'ffmpeg -y -f concat -i data/list.txt -c copy data/output.mp4' πŸš€

...

Successfully generated 'output.mp4'! πŸ˜†πŸŽž

per default it goes through the filename extensions avchd,avi,flv,mkv,mov,mp4,webm,wmv and tries to merge all mp4 files to out.mp4, all webm files to out.webm, and so on 😊 When everything went smooth, it should look like this:

β†ͺ exa -lh | awk '{print $2,$7}'
Size
328k 1.mp4
328k 2.mp4
664k output.mp4

There it is! πŸŽ‰ 🎊 πŸ₯³ πŸ“Ί 🍿

🐳 Run it without installing

You can also use Docker to run vidmerger without installing anything except Docker, hosted on Dockerhub.

docker container run -v <ABSOLUTE-PATH-TO-YOUR-VIDEOS>:/data tgotwig/vidmerger

Example with Bash:

docker container run -v `pwd`/data:/data tgotwig/vidmerger

βš™οΈ Developing

Built With

Rust and some listed Crates inside of Cargo.toml under dependencies.

Prerequisites

Setting up Dev

Once you are done with installing the prerequisites, you should run make to see if everything runs smooth:

git clone [email protected]:TGotwig/vidmerger.git
cd vidmerger
make

Also click on fork from the top right corner of this repository and run:

git remote add <your-github-name> [email protected]:<your-github-name>/vidmerger.git

Here is a little tutorial about working with forks along with GitKraken πŸ™

Building

Run make build to build for Mac, Linux and Windows. You can find the compressed Mac & Linux .tar.gz-archives for Github under target/tars, the .exe file for Windows under tools.

Deploying / Publishing

The best is to increase all versions by find and replace, then after make build:

  • Homebrew (MacOS): Edit the version and the hash there.
  • Homebrew (Linux): Edit the version and the hash there.
  • Chocolatey (Windows): Edit the hash inside of tools/VERIFICATION.txt and run make publish-choco.
  • Dockerhub: Run make publish-dockerhub.

πŸ“¦ Versioning

We use SemVer for versioning.

πŸ§ͺ Tests

There are some shell- and cargo-tests, which can be run by make test, requires youtube-dl and ffmpeg installed.

🌟 Style guide

We are using rust-clippy and rls-vscode.

  • Make Build fails on Ubuntu

    Make Build fails on Ubuntu

    Im pretty clueless with things if they don't come in an exe format or sudo apt get so please bear with me. I have ffmpeg installed, I downloaded the zip and extracted it to my desktop. Next the readme says "Run make build to build for Mac, Linux and Windows."

    When I run make build it automatically tries to build it for MacOS and not linux. Which results in a fail. error code 2, Could someone enlighten me on what im doing wrong?
