    Your guess is as good as mine. A year ago? Yesterday is far enough back. Don't be reading all of these posts again. Nobody should be subject to that. Especially the SpenkSwamp dumb comments. I wish I could just XXX them.

    Seriously, Spectate, just because the leaves are [i]visually[/i] close to the clouds does not mean they are [i]physically[/i] close to the clouds. Hold your hand out to the clouds and look at it. Just because you see your hand and the clouds at the same time doesn't mean your hand is near the clouds. Now if you move your hand around in front of you, you know that it's not going super fast zooming from cloud to cloud, right? Right?

    Swamp video can quickly show you the First 5 seconds then the last 5 seconds of every video you have non-randomly or randomly Maybe a quick demo of that capability. Simply a "wait=5" on the 1st set of lines created by "golf" option and a "start==-5000" on the 2nd set. A very easy edit with notepad on the freshly created *.txt file output by the golf option.

     

     If you have just 2 videos then you don't need this option.

    I guess actually attempting to use your software and comment honestly on it isn't something you approve of then. Could you explain when honesty is a good thing as opposed to a bad thing then? I get confused between your stance on honesty and openness (record everything, edit nothing etc.) and your view on censorship (remove / ignore / delete things of which you do not approve)

    In one of the previous epic threads, somebody made a one-line shell command to randomly play videos in a particular directory.  I am sure that could be extended to do random first 5 seconds, last 5 seconds as well?  If only I could use SSRR to find that command!  :-P

    SSDS is whatever he decides he wants it to be. This can change on a minute by minute basis....

    It started as a desktop search tool but he then failed to take part in that showdown, much derision followed and he then changed it to be a video player.

    The video player wasn't a big deal but then it became an alien hunting tool, this made no sense either.

    It has also been a photo slide show, a email storage system, note taking device, offered help to the homeless and became a search tool again.

    When it then became a search tool he couldn't explain how to make it search or what any of the results meant so it became a video tool again, the creation of the golf option was a big selling point  and once I managed to copy it trivially he started to promote it as a censorship tool and took to ignoring any and all criticism.

    Anyway, back on topic:  Subjectively to SpectateSwamp, SSDS is indeed the best program ever.  We, being merely figments of SpectateSwamp's imagination are only arguing the point because we are reflections of his own self-doubt.  Or possibly we're aliens or are under alien control and thus are opposed to SSDS merely because it will upset our (or our alien controler's) agenda (taking over the earth in order to get control of all of Earth's supply of pineapple flavored gummy bears).  Or we're government agents fighting the distribution of SSDS because it will once and for all discover through it's awesome search functionality the true secret conspiracy to create an elite golfer assassination squad.

    I followed your instructions, and have produced evidentiary video of a giant alien hand shaped spaceship zooming from cloud to cloud at incredible speed.  The G forces the pilots must endure to perform these stunts would pulverize a human.  A slight modification in the procedure resulted in a strange, pseudo-rocket shaped alien space craft being revealed, and my subsequent arrest for indecent exposure proves the government's involvement in the alien's plans.



  • @Medezark said:

    Is that a squad of elite golfers who are also assassins or a squad of elite assassins who are specialised in killing golfers? I suppose it could be a squad of non-elite assassins who specialise in killing elite golfers as well. In any case I fail to find this plausible as you make no mention of leaves that can be seen doing strange things like "floating" in "the air" on "a breeze".

    On a plus point Spectate does seem to have left us alone now and decided to bother the folks over at DreamInCode.

    Nope MetaData is bad bad bad. The GPS info is automatic. Like date time and size info. No techie action required. GPS Date and Time are OK

    I have just created my DmpMp3_metadata.exe as a test for mp3 files. It uses the output file from the "gf" option for .mp3 files. Once I create a similar DmpMpg_metadata.exe for my .mpg files I'm away. A minor change to add the "long=******** " and "lat=******** " to the existing catalog info and that will be my search key for the "Drive about videos" Only a noodle or 2 and this feature should be the big winner at the Digital Video ShowDown.

     

    Don't worry I'll find the GPS details myself.

    @SpectateSwamp said:

    There is no techie action required to manage metadata for jpegs / mp3s anyway - cameras add this stuff, legally purchased mp3s include it and windows makes editing it a doddle as well. Why is gps and date metadata considered good but all other metadata bad then?

    @SpectateSwamp said:

    I have just created my DmpMp3_metadata.exe as a test for mp3 files.
    But why separate the metadata from the file, that way you have two things to maintain and manage rather than just the original file itself.

    What's really sad is it looks as if it was written by someone else. I think if SpectateSwamp did this himself the numbers would be in random-random order, the indentation would be completely random, and there definitely wouldn't be a comment notifying himself that the following genres are for Winamp. Afterall, if SSDS is THE video/audio/search/golf/alien-hunter/random-random app, then why would he care about Winamp?

    You are way ahead of me. I'll keep all the arcseconds and thirds. Maybe just searching for the "long=1234" higher end digits. I'll make allowances for "from" and "to" long and lats. Just like the old cattle feedlot system I did years back everything evolved around a pen to pen move of cattle. Being able to represent that graphically is powerful. With the complete location info in a transaction text file. I'm sure it won't be too hard for some Swampie to create a utility showing the activity on the screen. A date-time stamp would be added too. "yyyymmddhhmmss"

     

    But first I just want to get this GPS info so I can start testing my Drive About Video capabilities. This will be more fun than testing some dusty old accounting system.

    I'm sure there's a whole lot of us here that have contributed to OSS projects, myself included.  the ones I have contributed to have been either of interest to myself or whoever I was working for at the time. successful open source projects are typically relevant and well-executed and decently organized.  your...thing...  is just sad.  port it to some other language that can execute on osx, linux, windwos vista or windows 7 and maybe i'll contriboot.  till then, it's really just your plaything.



  • I wasn't aware camcorders even had GPS devices in them, unless you're using a modern smartphone to take video. But seeing how you always talk about camcorders and not smartphones...

    If we are talking about being lazy I must point out that you are the one here who never actually responded to a the original showdown,, you were the one too lazy to even set up a sourceforge project so people could actually help, you are the one who has still never managed to explain the search results in the screenshots / videos I posted and it is also you who has never bothered to give an honest opinion between the two videos I did comparing SSRR and WDS when it comes to searching capabilities.

    Yup my Sony HDR-XR200 has the GPS switch. I just turned it on this morning. I am going to post a mini video on archive.org (temporary) to see if anybody can tell where it was shot.

    This is a handy feature for a camcorder. But if you have another GPS device it could easily be used to manually catalog your videos with long-lat info

    Yes, metadata is pretty useful, isn't it?

    Above is a simple but powerful Mp3 audio metadata dump program.

    Dumps like this are the building blocks of any reliable system.

    So before you complain about the code in the bestest program on the planet again. EVER how about re-creating the above 2nd Bestest app in your programming language of choice. And before you are done. Do the same for Mpg MetaData including the GPS stuff (putting out the results to a .txt file). I don't need to create this myself if  just one C#Swampie VBSwampie PerlSwampie or JavaSwampie would rise to the occasion.

    Or can't you match up to SpectateSwamp when it comes to sharing knowledge even if it is the much hated MetaData.
