$ python2.6 setup.py install

Warnings:

• you must have installed setuptools>=0.6c11 in this python.

Install LibreOffice or OpenOffice.org.

• http://www.libreoffice.org/download/
• http://download.openoffice.org/

The configuration file is used to start the application using paster.

$ cp ./cloudooo/sample/sample.conf . # Copy to current folder

The next step is define some attributes in cloudooo.conf:

• working_path - folder to run the application. This folder need be created.
• uno_path - folder where UNO library is installed (ex. /opt/libreoffice/basis-link/program/)
• soffice_binary_path - folder where soffice.bin is installed (ex. /opt/libreoffice/program/)

$ paster serve ./cloudooo.conf

or run as a daemon:

$ paster serve ./cloudoo.conf --daemon

$ kill -1 PASTER_PID

Warning: always use SIGHUP because only with this signal all processes are stopped correctly.

• XMLRPC + WSGI will be one bridge for easy access to LibreOffice / OpenOffice.org. This will implement one XMLRPC server into WSGI (Paster).
• PyUno is used to connect to LibreOffice / OpenOffice.org stated with open socket. The features will be handled all by pyuno.
• Only a process will have access to LibreOffice / OpenOffice.org by time.
• All clients receive the same object(proxy) when connects with XMLRPC Server.

Managing LibreOffice / OpenOffice.org process

• start 'soffice.bin':
  • Pyuno start 'soffice.bin' processes and the communication is through sockets
  • 'soffice.bin' processes run in brackground;
• control 'soffice.bin':
  • If the socket lose the connection, cloudooo kills the process, restarts processes and submit again the file;

• Send document to 'soffice.bin' and return the document converted with metadata
  • XMLRPC receives a file and connects to 'soffice.bin' process by pyuno;
  • The pyuno opens a new document, write, add metadata and returns the document edited or converted to xmlrpc and it return the document to the user;
  • When finalize the use of 'soffice.bin', should make sure that it was finalized;
• Export to another format;
• Invite document and return metadata only;
• Edit metadata of the document;
• Problems and possible solutions
  • 'soffice.bin' is stalled;
    • finalize the process, start 'soffice.bin' and submit the document again (without restart the cloudooo);
  • 'soffice.bin' is crashed;
    • finalize the process, verify if all the process was killed, start 'soffice.bin' and submit the document again(without restart the cloudooo)
  • 'soffice.bin' received the document and stalled;
    • if 'soffice.bin' isn't responding, kill the process and start
  • The document that was sent is corrupted;
    • write in log the error and verify that the process aren't in memory

FFMPEGHandler is a handler of cloudooo for developing GUI convertion applications using FFmpeg cross-platform.

Introduction The FFMPEGHandler package defines a single class, Handler, which is interface to audio and video convertion into cloudooo.

FFMPEGHandler has been developed with python 2.6 and ffmpeg 0.6.1.

Example

Converting file:

>>> from cloudooo.handler.ffmpeg import Handler >>> handler = Handler('my_path_data', open(test.ogv).read(), 'ogv') >>> converted_data = handler.convert('mpeg')

Getting information of file:

>>> from cloudooo.handler.ffmpeg import Handler >>> handler = Handler('my_path_data', open(test.ogv).read(), 'ogv') >>> metadata = handler.getMetadata() >>> metadata { 'ENCODER': 'Lavf52.64.2'}

NOTE

In case of importing FFMPEGHandler library is needed to import its used libraries as well and set its enviroment for handler.

Example

>>> from cloudooo.handler.ffmpeg import Handler >>> self.kw = dict(env=dict(PATH="../software/parts/ffmpeg/bin")) >>> handler = Handler('my_path_data', open(test.ogv).read(), 'ogv', **self.kw) >>> converted_data = handler.convert('mpeg')
