NOTE: This project makes no promises on current usability. I am making it open-source as an afterthought, after learning from it what I have.

If you are interested in building or running your own video jukebox, you should feel welcome to talk to me directly about it. I would be happy to speak about it.

FOLDERS

bin:

/home/application/bin is on the path.  Scripts in bin are runnable from any location, so should either use absolute paths or cd into a folder before execution.

Scripts in the bin folder should be camel-cased.

Finalized handlers should be placed in the bin folder before procerizing.


--
iqueue.tv:

iqueue.tv is the flat folder space of http://iqueue.tv


--
lib:

/home/application/lib is on the python path.  Shared libraries should be placed in the lib folder.


--
src:

work in progress, raw and intermediate code, should be placed in the src folder.


--
templates:

html templates can be created as python template strings.  For more information, see docs.python.or/release/2.5.2/lib/node40.html




USEFUL SCRIPTS


interpolate:

Usage: interpolate $file

interpolate takes a python template file as an argument and replaces any variables with their mappings from the environment.  Variables without a corresponding environment variable are not replaced.


--
finalize:

Usage: finalize $file

finalize is the same as interpolate, except that it will throw an exception if all variables are not replaced.


--
procerize:

Usage: procerize $script

procerize will install a script in the procer file hierarchy.  The script will be initialized the next time procer is started.


--
unprocerize:

Usage: unprocerize $script

unprocerize uninstalls a script from the procer file hierarchy and kills the process.


--
recv:

Usage: recv (PULL | SUB) (BIND | CONNECT) $address

recv receives a single zmq message from an address and prints it to stdout


--
monitor:

Usage: watch (PULL | SUB) (BIND | CONNECT) $address

watch loops, receiving all zmq messages from a particular address and printing them to stdout.


--
send:

Usage: send (PUSH | PUB) (BIND | CONNECT) $address $message [$more]?

send takes a message from the command line and delivers it to the given address as a zmq message.


--
talk:

Usage talk (PUSH | PUB) (BIND | CONNECT) $address

talk takes newline-separated messages from stdin and delivers them to the given address as zmq messages.


--
answeringMachine:

Usage: answeringMachine $reqAddr $resAddr $file

answeringMachine acts as a simple Mongrel2 handler, serving a static response file and printing all requests to stdout.


--
editPlayer

Usage: editPlayer

editPlayer opens src/coffeescript/player.coffee in emacs.  On close, it recompiles the player and injects it back into the homepage.
