Random Video Clip Generator (Docker - Windows host - Git Bash)

Plays random sections of videos for background visual noise. Great for parties.

You will need:

• Docker desktop (for Windows 10+).
• VLC.
• Git Bash.
• The videos have to be locally available.

How to use:

1. Install docker: https://docs.docker.com/desktop/windows/install/
2. Install VLC (video player): https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.wa.html
3. Install git bash: https://git-scm.com/download/win
4. Create a directory here called share and download a couple of music videos there.
5. Start docker desktop and verify it's running:
   docker info
6. Get image and run container (pulls and starts. These ARE the files from Windows, not copies):
   winpty docker run -it --name randomvideoclipgenerator_cont --volume C:\\Random-Video-Clip-Generator-Docker\\share:/root/RandomVideos/share marq4/random-video-clip-generator:latest
7. Inside the container do (and follow those instructions):
   cat Instructions.txt
8. Move the playlist file out of the share directory (in Windows).
9. Double-click the playlist file to open it with VLC.
10. To finish with the container simply:
    exit
11. To log into the container after it has been stopped do:
    docker start randomvideoclipgenerator_cont
winpty docker exec -it randomvideoclipgenerator_cont bash
12. To make new videos available to the container simply move them into share directory in Windows. No need to restart the container.

Why install programs?

Docker image should already have python, ffmpeg, etc pre-installed.

Autosanitize video titles inside container.

A single Python script should automatically sanitize videos from inside the container when executed.
