Introduction

COMP2811 User Interfaces Coursework 3 - The Process. This project invloved creating a prototype for a fictional app called "Tomeo".

How to Run

1. Download Qt 5.13.2 (must be 5.13.2) and Qt Creator from https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer
2. Clone the repository using git clone https://github.com/omariosc/comp2811-cwk3.git
3. Create a folder of video files called videos and place it in the repository folder (see Notes regarding video folder)
4. Open the.pro in Qt Creator and configure the project
5. Add the command line argument (to the run tab in Qt Creator) "path/to/videos"
6. To add video metadata, create a file for the video called videoname.metadata where videoname is the exact name of the video in the videos directory containing the metadata
7. The metadata should be in the following format: Date,Length,City,CountryCode. Where date is in the format dd/MM/yyyy, length in seconds, city in caps and country code in caps as a 2 letter code. For example: 15/12/2021,15,SNOWDON,UK
8. Run the project
9. To run different iterations, open the folder in terminal and run git checkout iteration-n. Reload the project in QtCreator and run

Notes

• When running on Linux, you need to ensure that all media codecs are installed (including Ubuntu Restricted Extras on Ubuntu)
• The map feature will not work unless you have OpenSSL installed
• OpenSSL (Windows Installation) through https://www.openssl.org/
• OpenSSL (Linux Installation) using the following command sudo apt-get openssl. You can check if you have OpenSSL installed using openssl version
• OpenSSL can also be installed through the QtCreator Maintenance Tool under Select Components > Qt > Developer and Designer Tools > OpenSSL 1.1.1j Toolkit
• We have supplied a sample video folder containing some sample videos, video thumbnails and video metadata files. Feel free to remove videos, however, the app requires at least 4 videos to function to properly. Even if you use this folder you must still pass the location for step 5
