1. let user input text/label whenever they hit pause, and time is recorded
2. user can enter text which will be saved
3. all input and time will be saved to csv file as logs,
I used this code 5 years ago, I remember it worked well, but now that I want to re-use it, I am not sure why it won't work.
Now the code works only until displaying dialog box asking whether to record or not in show_ui function, but after I click yes, it does not work as it supposed to.
Any input is appreciated. Thanks!
Code: Select all
function descriptor()
return {
title = "Pause to Save",
version = "0.1" ;
capabilities = { "playing-listener" }
}
end
function activate()
input = ""
stringTime = ""
fileCreated = false
local item = vlc.input.item()
if not (item==nil) then
create_file()
end
end
function deactivate()
end
function meta_changed()
end
function playing_changed()
vlc.msg.dbg("[Dummy] Status: " .. vlc.playlist.status())
if vlc.playlist.status()=="playing" then
if not fileCreated then
create_file()
end
end
if vlc.playlist.status()=="paused" then
show_ui()
end
if vlc.playlist.status()=="stopped" then
close_file()
end
end
function show_ui()
d = vlc.dialog("Record?")
d:set_title("Record?")
d:add_button("Yes", log)
d:add_button("No", hide_ui)
d:show()
end
function log()
d:delete()
d = vlc.dialog("Enter Label")
d: set_title("Enter Label: ")
w = d:add_text_input(text)
w1 = d:add_button("Save Label", getText)
end
function getText()
input = w:get_text(text)
--vlc.msg.dbg("Time: " .. input)
write_to_file()
d:delete()
end
function hide_ui()
d:delete()
end
function write_to_file()
if not fileCreated then
create_file()
end
file:write(""..timest .. ":" .. input .. "\n")
--vlc.msg.dbg("Output time = " .. timest)
end
function close_file()
file:write("\n")
file:close()
fileCreated = false
end
function create_file()
vlc.msg.dbg("in createFile")
fileCreated = true
get_time()
file = io.open("C:\\Users\\Users\\Documents\\VideoLogs\\" .. os.date("%m-%d-%Y", time) .. "_log.txt","a+")
file:write("Annotated on: " .. os.date() .. "\n------------------------------------------------\n\n")
end
function get_time()
vid = vlc.input.item()
obj = vlc.object.input()
name = vid:name()
timeList = {month=name:sub(9,10) , day=name:sub(11,12), year=name:sub(5,8), hour=name:sub(14,15), min=name:sub(16,17), sec = name:sub(18,19)}
time = os.time(timeList)
currentTime = time + vlc.var.get(obj, "time")
timestr = os.date("%H:%M:%S", currentTime)
vlc.msg.dbg("Time = " .. timestr)
return timestr
end
