GUI

[dobrosketchkun]

Okay, folks, I manage to make a very rudimentary GUI for this #21 version of fvid

import PySimpleGUI as sg
import os
import sys

class MissingArgument(Exception):
    pass


layout = [
    [sg.Button('Password', key='popup_pass', size=(20, 1))],
    [sg.Button('File to de/encode', key='popup_file', size=(20, 1))],
    [sg.Radio('Encoding', 1, enable_events=True, default=True, key='R1'), sg.Radio('Decoding',1, enable_events=True, key='R2')],
    [sg.Button('Start', key='start', size=(20, 1))],
]
window = sg.Window('Simple fvid GUI', layout, font='a 16')

password = None
line = None 

while True:  # Event Loop
    event, values = window.Read()

    if event in [None ,'Exit']:
            break

    if event == 'popup_pass':
        password = sg.popup_get_text('Password', password_char='*') 

    if event == 'popup_file':
        fname = sg.popup_get_file('File to open')
        try:
            fname2 = os.path.basename(fname)
        except:
            pass

    if event == 'start':
        try:
            fname = fname + ' '
        except:
            raise MissingArgument('You need a file to en/decrypt.')
        if password:
            pwd = '-p ' + password
        else:
            pwd = ''
            
        part1 = 'python -m fvid -i ' + fname

        if values['R1'] == True:
            part2 = '-e ' + pwd + ' -o ' + fname2 + '_encoded.mp4'
        else:
            part2 = '-d ' + pwd 


        line = part1 + part2

        break

if line:
    # if sys.platform == 'win32':
        # os.system('cls')
    # else:
        # os.system('clear')
    print('Command:', line)
    os.system(line)


window.Close()

For the while True loop, I'd suggest adding a time.sleep(0.1) at the bottom, or some other blocking call, so it doesn't run over and over and use 100% CPU while it's at it. Does window.Read() block until something happens to the screen?

[dobrosketchkun]

and use 100% CPU

I don't have any issues:

[Theelx]

@dobrosketchkun Ok, then I guess window.Read is blocking. Can you add an option for framerate to the GUI?

[dobrosketchkun]

Yeah, right, I forgot about it since I never use it.

Looks good to me! Thoughts @AlfredoSequeida?

[AlfredoSequeida]

@dobrosketchkun At a quick glance that looks awesome! I am curious if you guys think this should be added to a new repo for people interested that are not interested in a GUI. I am personally primarily a Linux user and don't use GUI's very often with the exception of browsers (or places where I really need to). Maybe we can add something to the setup file to let a user select the option of having a GUI or something similar?

[Theelx]

As far as I can tell, the user would have to select whether they want the GUI after the entire package has already been downloaded, because I don't think pip install allows a package to accept custom args (like --no-gui). It could be best to place this GUI code within its own file that's only called if a user runs something like fvid gui.py from the command line/prompt and just leave it be when a user doesn't want to actively use it.

[dobrosketchkun]

Yeah, I thought about approach like @Theelgirl just mentioned. For instance, if you want a GUI, you just use py -m fvid without any args and if you don't, just use CLI as intented.

[Theelx]

@dobrosketchkun If you have time, you can make a PR with that py -m fvid GUI approach you mentioned, and I think Alfredo and/or I would be happy to test it

[dobrosketchkun]

Yeah, I will sooner or later.

Little upgrade about #26

Another addition - use of youtube-dl if it's in your system:

import PySimpleGUI as sg
import os
import sys

class MissingArgument(Exception):
    pass

    [sg.Button('Password', key='popup_pass', size=(20, 1))],

    [sg.Text('Framerate:  '), sg.InputText(default_text=FRAMERATE, key='framerate', size=(9, 1))],
    [sg.Text('If you don\'t know what you are doing, use a default value', size=(40, 1), font=("Arial", 7))],
    [sg.Text('Youtube link'), sg.InputText(key='y_dl', size=(9, 1))],
    [sg.Text('Use only if you have youtube-dl in your system', size=(40, 1), font=("Arial", 7))],
    [sg.Button('Start', key='start', size=(20, 1))],
]
window = sg.Window('Simple fvid GUI', layout, font='a 16')

password = None
line = None 

while True:  # Event Loop
    event, values = window.Read()
    y_dl = values['y_dl']
    framerate = values['framerate']
    #print('event', event, 'values', values)
    if event in [None ,'Exit']:
            break

    if event == 'popup_pass':

        try:

        except:
            pass

    if event == 'start':
        try:

            os.system('youtube-dl -o ' + fname + ' -f  "bestvideo[height=1080]" ' + y_dl)

Looks good! Would you like to submit that for a PR? If so, make sure to either put it in its own file, or make it run only if fvid is run without args.

[dobrosketchkun]

I will soon, yeah.

[Theelx]

@dobrosketchkun Do you have time to make this into a PR soon?
