Every Frame of xxx Bot

This Python script allows you to post frames from a film (or TV show) to a mastodon account. The script is customizable, allowing you to set the number of frames per second and the time interval between posts.

Prerequisites

• Python 3
• FFmpeg
• A Mastodon account

Setup

1. Install the required Python packages:

pip install Mastodon.py

2. Create a Mastodon account on your desired instance (e.g., mastodon.social) and log in.

3. Visit the "Development" section under your account settings and create a new application. Take note of the generated client_id, client_secret, and access_token.

4. Replace the placeholders in the script with the appropriate values:

• your_client_id: Your Mastodon application's client ID
• your_client_secret: Your Mastodon application's client secret
• your_access_token: Your Mastodon account's access token
• instance_url: The URL of your Mastodon instance (e.g., 'https://mastodon.social')
• path/to/your/video/file: The path to your video file
• path/to/your/subtitle/file: The path to your subtitle file

5. Customize the following variables as desired:

• frames_per_second: The number of frames to extract from each second of the video
• frame_interval: The time interval (in minutes) between each post
• film_name: The name of the film being processed

Running the Script

Run the script using Python:

python frames_bot.py

The script will start posting frames to your Mastodon account according to the specified settings. To stop the script, press Ctrl + C in the terminal. I have this on a server running continuously but I know another way is to make the code post one frame and task schedule it to run every x minutes
