Biggest change is the ability for it to scan all subfolders and create the merged video files, and by having it monitor for the USB (or SD) card to be inserted and then automatically start processing.
This means that it could be setup to have it just run continuously, and anytime the Tesla DashCam USB (or SD) is inserted it will start creating the merged video files, and upon completion provide a notification.
This version will now also check for new releases, and inform if a new release is available.
List of changes:
- Added scanning of sub-folders clip files. Each folder will be processed and resulting movie file created. This can be disabled through parameter --exclude_subdirs
- Added option to merge the video files from multiple sub-folders into 1 movie file. Use parameter --merge to enable.
- Added option to monitor if the USB drive (or SD card) is inserted in the PC and then automatically start processing the files. Use parameter --monitor to enable.
Parameter --monitor_once will stop monitoring and exit after 1st time drive was inserted.
Parameter --delete_source will delete the source files and folder once the movie file for that folder has been created. - Added update checker to determine if there is a newer version, additional arguments to just perform check (--check_for_update), include test releases (--include_test), or disable always checking for updates (--no-check_for_update)
- Formatted output to easily show progress
- Time it took to create the video files will now be provided upon completion of processing.
- Will now handle it much better if a video file from a camera is corrupt (i.e. zero-byte file).
- ffmpeg is part of the tesla_dashcam executable
- Desktop notification when processing starts (when using monitor) and when it completes.
- DockerFile added making it easy to run tesla_dashcam within Docker (jeanfabrice)
- Fixed: combining clips to movie would not use GPU or provided encoding.
- Added additional check that video file exist before merging into movie.
