This repo contains serveral utils that manipulate subtitle files used to display karaoke. Most are useless/outdated/dirty hacks, but some of them may be useful. The "Toyunda" is a software suite used by French student association Epitanime for displaying karaokes during the events they organize.
Some of them only work with Ruby 1.9, some others only work with Ruby 1.8.
- ass2frm.rb
- Generates .frm and .lyr files suitable for use with toyunda-gen.rb from an ASS file with k or kf commands before each syllabe. Tries to imitate the effect of a continuous cursor if there are kf tags.
- continuous.rb
- A plugin to use with toyunda-gen.rb to imitate the effect of a continuously running cursor, like a real karaoke or kf in ASS.
- gen2ass.rb
- Generates an ASS file from the source files for toyunda-gen.rb, or from a file generated by toyunda-gen.rb.
- properties.rb
- Gets the resolution and the framerate of a video file using mplayer.
- webi/
- A quick web interface to some of these tools using the Ruby web framework Ramaze. Not super secure, run at your own discretion.
- mplayer-toyunda-lol/
Converts from an arbitrary Toyunda karaoke file to an ASS file; one subtitle line is generated for every subtitle character, so the resulting file is quite big. It worked at some point but now it doesn't.
The name is because it was intended to be usable as a drop-in replacement from mplayer-toyunda by providing a wrapper that compiled Toyunda files to ASS before launching a vanilla mplayer. The main goal was proving that using ASS for the needs adressed by the Toyunda is completely feasible. I think the "lol" was intended as sarcasm with regards to the "not invented here" syndrome and the general arrogance of the Epitanime staff in the recent years.
- hardsub.rb compile.rb upload.rb
- Nothing really useful. Those scripts are just hacky proto-makefiles I used to upload a lot of hardsubbed karaoke videos to Youtube. Then Youtube deleted my account. They depend on mplayer-toyunda-lol that for some reason doesn't work anymore.
- missing.rb utils.rb
- Useless, why are those even here.
