Automatic edit point bookmarks following crop

The current cropping creates a cropped file with no bookmarks, if your wishing to keep the file for a while before watching its useful to check the edit points haven't messed up the program before you delete the original file, but it can be awkward and time consuming to find those points.

The following automatically calculates the bookmarks for the edit points from the cropping bookmarks, the bookmark is adjusted by 3 secs to ensure its just past the edit point so it can be used if there is excessive sound disturbance over a crucial bit of dialogue.

A save button is added so the new bookmarks can be saved post crop.

Firstly copy the file save.jim from mod/webif/html/browse/bookmarks/ to mod/webif/html/browse/crop/ and ensure the file has execute permission following upload.

Edit:
See post https://hummy.tv/forum/threads/automatic-edit-point-bookmarks-following-crop.9057/#post-128315 for updated code

The above appears to be a solution to my request:

Feature request: when cropping, place a bookmark at the start of each saved section (end of each cropped section). This may have to be an option so as to preserve previous behaviour, but I see no disadvantage in having the bookmarks there.

Section bookmarks would provide a means to skip to "chapters", something sorely lacking compared with DVD playback. If the cropping is the result of ad-detection, the chapters will have been identified by the programme makers deciding where to have the ad breaks. If the cropping is the result of the user picking out highlights, again the chapter markers will be appropriate.

Unified Diff Format

This is a standard representation, and commonly used on this forum for discussing code changes. If you are going to get into hand-modifying the CF files, you need to become familiar it.

The content is auto-generated by comparing a backup of the original file with the updated file, on the Linux command line

diff -u <original> <updated>​

(the -u switch stands for "unified"; without that switch diff defaults to its original, less compact, format).

In the output, lines are prefixed by indicators which specify how to interpret that particular line:

--- : the original file (documented for the record);​
​
+++ : the updated file (documented for the record);​
​
@@ : location and number of lines in each file described by the subsequent text (until the next @@ line), as follows:​
​
@@ -<start line number in original file>,<number of lines> +<start line number in updated file>,<number of lines> @@​
​
<space> : unaltered line, unnecessary but provided for visual context (three lines lead in and three lines lead out typical, including blank lines);​
​
- : a line present in the original file and not present in the updated file (in its identical form);​
​
+ : a line present in the updated file and not present in the original file (in its identical form).​

To implement the code changes described:
  1. Locate the original file in the file system and make a backup copy;
  2. Open the original file in an editor, eg nano on the command line or WebIF >> Diagnostics >> File Editor;
  3. Locate the section of the file described by the @@ string, confirm visually using the context lines;
  4. Remove the lines prefixed "-" and replace with lines prefixed "+" (often this involves a small edit rather than complete replacement;
  5. Repeat from 3 until all the @@ sections have been done;
  6. Save the file;
  7. (Optional) confirm the changes have been implemented correctly by running diff -u on the backup and your new file, and compare the output with the recipe.
For more information, google "unified diff format".


Applying the Diff Automatically (Linux command patch)

Please see below before implementing

Create a file containing the Unified Diff Format description of the changes required (or obtain a ready-made one). Apply the changes on the command line (Telnet, or WebIF >> Diagnostics >> Command Line):

patch -b < <changes file>​

The "-b" switch creates a backup of the original file. The file to be edited does not need to be specified, as this is already defined in the changes file.

I will also verify whether the changes file can contain all the diffs in one, or if they need a separate patch operation for each file to be modified.

Yes, it is possible to concatenate all the diffs into one file, but (1) the Busybox version of patch (as installed in the CF) doesn't seem to accept the -b flag, and (2) won't act on its own output!

The version of patch in Busybox is old and stupid. It doesn't complain about things it should complain about. If you copy the diffs as posted on to a sane system and attempt it, then it tells you they are all garbage.

Similar code could be added to detectads to set bookmarks in the cropped output file when autocropping

Also in Join to preserve bookmarks when joining files together

I should have added, if you don't copy the save file it won't break anything, the save function simply won't work, but you can still copy the displayed new bookmarks (eg 0 647 1391) and then paste those into the bookmaks bar in 'bookmarks' for the file.

In case it helps, the patch utility is included in the busybox CF package from the repository but not in the version of busybox built into CF 3.13.

The package version appears as /mod/bin/busybox/busybox while the CF version is /bin/busybox. The difference in available utilities is especially relevant for scripts that have to run when /mod may not be mounted, eg maintenance mode. For instance. instead of tr or awk, you have to work up an equivalent script for sed (which is in the CF).

This is the current situation (CF bb1.20 vs repo bb1.20-1). But, utilities in the Both column may not be quite the same build (eg ash).

The following shell function parses the output of the busybox command:
Code: 
bbfn() {
if [ "$1" = "--help" ]; then
    printf "Usage: bbfn [command_name]\nList supported Busybox commands, or search (regexp) for specified command.\n"
    return
fi
(while read line; do
    if [ "$line" = "Currently defined functions:" ]; then
        xargs -r -n 1 echo | tr -d ',' | if [ -n "$1" ]; then grep -E "$1"; else cat; fi;
        return $?
    fi
    done;
}
Eg:
Code: 
humax# busybox | bbfn
[
[[
...
yes
zcat
humax# busybox | bbfn zcat
bzcat
lzcat
xzcat
zcat
humax# busybox | bbfn "^zcat$"
zcat
humax#

Having used this mod for a while I find I keep forgetting to click the 'save new bookmarks' button, so this is a minor change adding a tickbox option so new bookmarks are auto saved following crop.

I've just tried to implement this, and found the alterations to execute.jim failed:

I also found patch -b doesn't work (BusyBox v1.20.2).

I don't know what to do now, I presume execute.jim has been updated since the patches were published. I have reverted the files.

Any chance we can have these mods built into the standard CF files?

It hasn't, but it's easy enough to do manually - just 3 lines to add.
For the record, it's just a spacing thing in the diff, possibly caused by the forum editor:

Post #8 applies.

You could just link it if you use the command line, and then the permissions come free.
Code: 
ln /mod/webif/html/browse/bookmarks/save.jim /mod/webif/html/browse/crop/

But really someone ought to offer these changes to the Webif codebase as a pull request. In that case it might be better not to duplicate save.jim. I think a /mod/webif/html/browse/crop/save.jim something like this should do:
Code: 
#!/mod/bin/jimsh
source /mod/webif/html/browse/bookmarks/save.jim
 
I don't know why, but having made the mods and used it once, the "save new bookmarks" button no longer appears after a crop. Any guesses?
 
Does the 'New Bookmarks' entry show?

The button is shown by the script, if something is causing a script error that would prevent it working.

Have you tried with different files? (maybe file-name issue)
 
Nothing special about the filename (Strictly - same structure as the example which worked). Anything I can do to diagnose?
 
Does the New Bookmarks entry show?

Which browser, have you cleared the cache.

Does the progress bar disappear on completion?

If your browser has an inspect option click on inspect over the back button, is <button id="back" class="ui-button ui-corner-all ui-widget" style="display: inline-block;">Back to media list</button> followed by: <button id="save" class="hidden ui-button ui-corner-all ui-widget" style="display: inline-block;"><span class="ui-button-icon ui-icon ui-icon-disk"></span><span class="ui-button-icon-space"> </span>Save New Bookmarks</button>

PS I have been using the last posted version without issue ever since it was posted.
