parselml(1)

NAME
parselml - parse a lml MJPEG file

SYNOPSIS
parselml [-s downscale] [-d diffsfile] [-o ofilename] [-n nframes] [-f fields] [-v] [-F fnum] filename index-file

DESCRIPTION
The utility parselml parses a lml motion-JPEG file and depending on which option is set, creates raw PPM files and/or (tries to) detect scene switches. The used dynamic partition is identified by filename, the used file index file is defined by index-file.

  OPTIONS

-s  If PPM files need to be generated, this option defines the factor by which the original frames are scaled down.

-d  Generate a file that contains total red, green and blue in the frame.

-o  Output file name. The name is extended by a frame number and the extension .ppm.

-n  Total number of frames to process.

-f  Number of fields in input image.

-v  Be verbose.

-F  Starting frame number.

BUGS
None that I know off.

NOTES
Two seperate python scripts find scenes in a diffsfile (detect.py), and generate HTML-pages based on the found scenes (generatehtml.py). To use the web-frontend of the file server, two CGI scripts cgi-bin/clockwise.py and cgi-bin/playdp.py can be used to play LML MJPEG video files across the network, or to access the raw data from a dynamic partition.
