README

Video Data Extraction and Reporting App

This Python application is designed to extract video data from a directory called video_clips, store the data in a PostgreSQL database, and generate a CSV report. Please follow the instructions provided below to successfully use this application.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x installed on your system
• PostgreSQL installed on your system
• Video files available in the video_clips directory

Installation

1. Clone this repository to your local machine or download the source code.
2. Ensure that all the required Python packages are installed by executing the following command in your terminal:

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Create a copy of the .env-template file and rename it to .env by executing the following command in your terminal:

cp .env-template .env

4. Open the newly created .env file using a text editor and provide the necessary details for the database connection. Update the following placeholders with your database connection information:

HOSTNAME=<your_database_host>
PORT=<your_database_port>
DATABASE=<your_database_name>
USERNAME=<your_database_user>
PASSWORD=<your_database_password>

Usage

1. Place your video files inside the video_clips directory created by the Python application.

2. Run the application by executing the following command in your terminal:

python main.py

3. The application will automatically extract video data from the video_clips directory, store the data in the specified PostgreSQL database, and generate a CSV report.

4. Once the process is complete, you will find the generated CSV report in the report directory with the name video_clips.csv.

Troubleshooting

• If you encounter any issues or errors during the application execution, please ensure that you have provided the correct database connection information in the .env file.

• Make sure the video files are correctly placed inside the video_clips directory and have the required file extensions for video files.
