[Plugin] MovieCutCenter

Post by adrianoluis »

MCCMovieCutCenter combines the functions of the following original plugins:

CutListEditor - cut list editing - in three modes: Standard, Extended, Alternative (-> Settings menu page 1)
MovieCut (incl. Mcut) - execute the cut
Reconstuct_Apsc - Creation of the image and sound information file (AP, SC)

Installation:
An existing CutListEditor (regardless of whether it is original or reloaded / alternative) must be deinstalled.
Save the IPK file in a directory (recommended: temp) of the box and in the VTI menu (VTI - VTI Panel - Manual installation of packages -
Select Install IPK packages) (YELLOW) and then OK (GREEN). Then restart the GUI.

Start:
Same as with the original CutListEditor - in the film overview of EMC or MoviePlayer using the STOP button or MENU button.
Please wait until the initialization (message) has been completed.

Settings menu:
I made a lot of things adjustable via the menu.
The settings menu is under
VTI - VTI Panel - Extensions - MovieCutCenter (Settings)
accessible.
The settings are in the menu itself

Version 1.01

* Fixed translation bug
* Binary files are now included for arm and mipsel processors and are used depending on the VU model (thanks to rdamas for support).
* In the editor menu (MENU) it is prevented that the generation of the AP / SC files can be started while the cut is in progress

Version 1.02

* Cut binary (mcut): Version for UHD cut (from github?) Implemented
* In the settings menu translation of the FB keys (plugin.py)
* Translation into French (attention: machine translation)
* The cutting position is slightly increased in the cuts file (attempt - this should force mcut to always look for the keyframe)
* Adjustable waiting time between saving the cuts file and reading it out by mcut
Oops, there is still a translation missing, I'll do it in the next version
* Selection of target directory adapted for editing (with directory type 'Directory' this prevents a directory name in the flash).
* If the original file has no title, the file name is set as the title, where '_' is replaced by a space.

Version 1.03

Code: Select all

* Use the jump button setting of the original editor (page 1):
The keys 1 to <and 3 to> behave like in the original cutlist editor of the feed.
RED and BLUE (and LEFT / RIGHT) are set to jump one position backwards / forwards (with the original, RED would call up slow motion, but this would not select any keyframes).
The (additional) functions of all other buttons remain as defined in the settings menu.

Differences between the 'Standard' setting and the original CutlistEditor:

In the MMC, the 5 original functions for editing cutting marks are combined in two menu lines (and the associated YELLOW and GREEN buttons).
The function assigned to the keys is determined automatically based on the current position.
The machining can be done from the front to the back or vice versa (the start of the cut can be before or after the end of the cut).

A typical cut with advertising:
GREEN to remove the leader
2 x YELLOW to remove an advertising block (the start of the cut is shown in the cut list and bar)
GREEN to remove the credits
If the current position is in a block that has already been cut away, it is brought back with GREEN (delete cut).

The detour via the menu is only necessary to learn the key assignments.


Bug fixes:

* REWIND and FASTFORWARD activated again
* Translation completed
* Various code optimizations

Other new setting parameters:

* Use addition also for film titles (page 4)
If deactivated, the cut file is presented in the same way as the originals (film title remains unchanged in all cases)

* Change in 'File addition when cutting / splitting into new file (s)' (page 4):
Spaces and '/' are no longer allowed and will be deleted if entered

* Date / time for cut film:
Usually the same as for the original movie is set in the **** file. This can be changed to the current time (page 4)


Other innovations:

* Missing **** file is created when MCC is started
The file name is entered in the title (underscore is replaced by spaces)

* In the editor, the result in the cut file is displayed in the lower left block / 1st line based on the cut marks set
This has already been shown when starting the cut.
The calculated length of the cut film (IN) and its estimated file size (file size of the original film x percent IN) are saved in the **** file immediately after the cut.

* Review of the cut film
The length (including the last frame) is output for each film in the editor in the lower left / 2nd line block.
For a film cut with MCC the following is also displayed:
> +/- deviation of the length of the cut film to the length according to the cut settings
> +/- deviation of the file size from the estimated size in percent (there are always deviations because each image or partial image is different in size)
The line is output according to the traffic light system in green (+ 'ok'), in yellow (+ '!') Or in red (+ '!!').
The limits for yellow (warning) and red (error) can be set in the settings menu (page 6) in 1/10 seconds. The default is 2 and 5 seconds.

* Playback status (play, pause, ...) is displayed in a separate field (next to the film times)

* Changed the display of the film in the editor:
Is now a combination of title and description. If the title is missing, the file name is used instead.

* Skin
The skin parts for MCC are still located in the Skin subdirectory (file skin_MovieCutCenter.xml).
For design changes, this file can be copied and changed in the skin used (in its subdirectory allScreens) (do not forget to activate it in the VTI menu with the yellow button!)
There are also three screen _.... files in the Skin directory. These must NOT be changed. They contain the standard screens for MCC that were previously integrated in the program coding and that are used if the skin parts are missing in the skin.

Version 1.04

Code: Select all

* In the cut film, the title is now taken from the M.E.T.A file of the original film (no longer with the getName function - this does not work correctly when the MCC is called from the standard MoviePlayer)

* With help, the names of the jump buttons are displayed correctly if 'Use jump button setting of the original editor' or 'Swap order of jump buttons' is activated

* The colors for the background, font and frame of the integrated skin can be changed in the settings menu. This means that the appearance of skins that do not allow their own skin parts (e.g. Kraven_FHD) can be adapted to the skin used to some extent.
If no frame is required, simply assign the same color as the background to it.
Changes only take effect after a GUI restart.

Version 1.08

-Update & fixes
After the cut and Reconstruct_apsc, the file permissions are reset. The rights can be defined in the settings menu page 6, default value is 644 (octal).
Reason: the included binary programs for cutting and for the reconstruction of the AP/SC files set - just like the standard programs - access rights that make the recordings on some systems (NAS) not playable.

Version 1.09

Page 4:
* Quit MCC after the start of the cut (can now also be set if the original is not overwritten)
* Display message for cutting errors: Since nonsensical error messages sometimes appear, you can generally suppress the error display here
* The duration of the display for the start and end of the cut can be set (with 99 you can suppress the message completely). If 'Exit after start' is activated, no start message is generally output. This is necessary because very short display times at the start display lead to a crash for an incomprehensible reason.

Page 6:
* Start MCC settings from the movie player menu (additional option to the VTI panel). Is displayed directly after the MovieCutCenter.
* Prefix for sorting the plugins in the movie player menu: Here you can put a text in front of the name of the plugin (MovieCutCenter), so that you can use the plugin e.g. B. can sort at the very beginning. Neither the standard movie player nor EMC support that. If desired, I can send instructions to EMC via communication - it's really easy.
