apply to multiple files?

[CU4thSpace]

I love this script, it finally got me using ffmpeg. My only question, is it possible to apply this to a folder of video files? Thank you!

hey you can write a batch script since this is a command line tool!

Hey @CU4thSpace if your issue is not solved, have a look at this
I was going through the same problem and took on the advice by @bryanseah234

After following https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68070092/is-there-a-way-to-wait-in-a-bash-script-for-a-python-program-started-in-a-new

I made a python code which will generate a shell script which will split all the videos located at a directory
https://gist.github.com/tuminzee/70596f47dfb2669111e2313f0bdf7a36

After running this, it will generate a shell script run.sh, run the file and it should split multiple files present in the directory

import os

basepath = 'videos'
i = -1

f = open("run.sh", "x")

f.writelines("#!/bin/bash \n")

for entry in os.listdir(basepath):

    if not entry.startswith('.') and os.path.isfile(os.path.join(basepath, entry)):
        i += 1
        input = f'python3 ffmpeg-split.py -f {basepath}/"{entry}" -s 30 & pid{i}=$! \n'
        f.writelines(input)
        print(f'python3 ffmpeg-split.py -f {basepath}/"{entry}" -s 30 & pid{i}=$!')

f.writelines("wait ")
print('wait', end=' ')

for j in range(i):
    input = f"$pid{j} "
    f.writelines(input)
    print(f'$pid{j}', end=' ')
