Toolchain to process a zoneminder Export.zip into organized .webm files for website.

zm_web_proc

zm_web_proc is a Rust-based tool that automates the processing of ZoneMinder export files. The tool extracts a ZIP file, processes video files using zm_vidsort and mp4_to_webm, and moves the converted .webm files to a videos directory.

Features

• ZIP Extraction: Unzips the specified ZoneMinder export file.
• Video Sorting: Uses zm_vidsort to organize video files.
• Video Conversion: Converts .mp4 files to .webm format using the mp4_to_webm tool.
• File Management: Moves .webm files to a videos directory.

Requirements

• zm_vidsort: The program uses the zm_vidsort tool for organizing video files.
  • GitHub repo: zm_vidsort
• mp4_to_webm: The program uses mp4_to_webm to convert .mp4 files to .webm format.
  • GitHub repo: mp4_to_webm
• unzip: The tool uses unzip to extract ZIP files.
• Rust toolchain: You need Rust installed to compile and run the program.

Make sure both zm_vidsort and mp4_to_webm are installed and available in your system path.

git clone https://github.com/nestorwheelock/zm_web_proc.git
cd zm_web_proc

Step 2: Build the Project

cargo build --release

Usage

To use zm_web_proc, specify a ZoneMinder export ZIP file as an argument. The tool will unzip the file, process the video files, and move the converted .webm files to a videos directory.

Command

./target/release/zm_web_proc <zm_export_zip_file>

Example

./target/release/zm_web_proc zm_export_12345.zip

This will:

1. Unzip the zm_export_12345.zip file.
2. Organize video files using zm_vidsort.
3. Convert .mp4 files to .webm.
4. Move the .webm files to the videos directory in the current working directory.
