Chevir

a simple video encoder written in python

Chevir is a program that listens to a RabbitMQ queue and converts the incoming video file paths with the given ffmpeg command arguments.

Installing / Getting started

You can install and start using Chevir as follows:

git clone https://github.com/zafergurel/chevir.git
cd chevir/
mkdir log # default log folder in config.yaml
pip install -r requirements.txt # installs requirements

./main.py start # start listening to rabbitmq for new tasks

# In Windows: 
# py -3 main.py test <video file path>
