Negro Mate Songs
================
[Negro Mate](https://negromate.rocks)'s song database library. Not very versatile without two another packages:
* [negromate.web](https://pypi.org/project/negromate.web/): Static html compiler for the web of Negro Mage
* [negromate.karaoke](https://pypi.org/project/negromate.karaoke/): Simple karaoke video browser
Provides the base `negromate` command to interact with a song repository.
negromate config: Write the configuration file
negromate songs: Update song database
negromate thumbnail: Generate cover and thumbnail for a song
Needs the following packages installed:
* imagemagick
* ffmpeg
Karaoke subtitle generation is currently broken, it worked with these
packages on older systems:
* xdotool
* aegisub
* xserver-xephyr
## Song library structure
Each song is a folder containing at least a video file, a subtitles file and a metadata file:
song_name/
├── song_name.ass
├── song_name.mp4
└── metadata.json
Video and subtitles file has to be named like the folder. Supported subtitles:
* ass (prefered)
* src
* vtt
### The metadata json file
{
"name": "Song name",
"original": "Original song, Original author",
"karaoke": true,
"date": "XXXX-XX-XX"
"author": "Author of the karaoke"
}
* `name`: used as the title of the song.
* `original`: for giving credit to original authors.
* `karaoke`: if `true`, the ass subtitles file has karaoke level subtitles (syllable level timing)
and automatik karaoke subtitles can be generated.
* `date`: approx. creation date of this version
* `author`: not required, used for givin credits to the author when it's different from the web authors.
