• Updated regular expressions in ShellCommand.shellquote() to catch the weirder edge cases (closes #26).

Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/nstanger/process_podcast

• Added --preview option (closes #17).

• Now checks whether a filename already starts with the input prefix before adding it (closes #25).

• Ignored .pyc files.

• Minor formatting change.

• Added basic README file.

• Added example of inserting an annotated PDF slide into the video stream.

• Deleted leftover development debugging output. ...

• Added code to resize frame inputs to the size of the smallest video segment where applicable (closes #23). Still need to add resizing for differently sized video inputs.

• Redesigned FFprobeCommand to retrieve media file entries in JSON format for easier extraction and processing. ...

• Changed default of --input-prefix to “.”.
• Added check that the input prefix actually exists.
• Ensured that the segments list variable actually exists when cleanup happens.

• Ensured that prefix isn’t added if input filename is “^”. ...

• Rearranged display of frame processing progress bar.
• Better handling of frame segment processing errors:
    – Added SegmentException.
    – Checked all subprocess exit status values.
• Moved cleanup() call into finally clause.
• Added Segment._temp_files_list to make deletion of temporary files more predictable, and eliminate inadvertent deletion of original source files for PDF frame inputs.
• Refactored segment temporary file generation (closes #22).

• Ensured progress bar is silent when maximum value is zero.

• Added debug code to output number of frame segments.

• Rewrote get_configuration() to fix a crasher when processing frame inputs. Also refactored to eliminate duplicate code. ...

• Defaulted args.prefix to "".
• Renamed some variables.
• Added some documentation and debugging calls.

• Added --input-prefix option (closes #13). ...

• Fixed an undiscovered bug in process_timestamp_pair() that would have caused a crash when there was an odd number of timestamps (failed to check whether second timestamp is defined).

Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/Otago-InfoSci-Database/Tools

• Added progress bars for all long-running operations (closes #18). ...

• Added new ProgressBar class.
• Switched from subprocess to pexpect for running shell commands.
• Added general shell quoting for debugging output of commands.
• Rewrote the way command strings and argument lists are generated.
• Removed “-loglevel error” from ffmpeg commands to enable capturing progress information (pexpect doesn’t echo the output anyway).

• Updated print_progress(): ...

– Added optional width argument.
    – Moved newline character to the start of the line rather than the end to stop the cursor overprinting the start of the progress bar.

• Removed [] indicating optional components, as the input specification syntax uses them as delimiters.

• Updated to reflect more flexible time specifications added in 9fd933f.

• Fixed parsing bug that produced incorrectly structured timestamp lists when using a duration file (introduced by restructuring of grammar).

• Added config5.txt to test files. ...

• Initial work on improving error reporting (catching parser exceptions).
• Some refactoring and rationalisation of the grammar.

• Reconfigured grammar to handle missing components in timestamps (closes #16). ...

• Refactored defaults setting so that it can be easily generalised to new cases.

• Changed “segment specification” to “time specification”, and “stream specification” to “segment specification”. This makes more sense, and is consistent with the configuration parser.

• Removed unused literals hyphen and comment_char.

• Added print_progress() function and implemented progress bar for frame processing (partial progress—hah!—towards #18).

• Ensured that audio/video output options and filters are only included when there actually is an audio/video stream (closes #19). ...

• Rearranged exception handling on main() so that a KeyboardInterrupt is caught no matter where you are in the process.

• Removed some leftovers from the deleted --config-help option.

• Removed the --config-help option as there appears to be no easy way to create additional standalone help-style options with argparse (it complains that there aren’t enough arguments because the positional argument is missing). The help text has been put into a separate Markdown file instead. (closes #12)
