lacupload.py

A Python script to upload the Linux Audio Conference videos to Internet Archive. With metadata.

Currently supported are Linux Audio Conference from 2010 to 2015.

If you are reading this, it is likely it doesn't need to be used anymore as everything has been uploaded to the Internet Archive

scrape_lac.py is designed to scrape the program page to fetch all the conference program items.

lacupload.py will upload the items from a video page. It is used either as is or from scrape_lac.py.

Both have command line arguments. -n or --dry-run will not upload to the internet archive, but otherwise will download. So running with -n and then without will download first all items, then upload them.

settile.py

A Python script to change the tile page of an Internet Archive text item.

The tile page is the page that shows up in the list as a thumbnail. Usually we want the cover, but the automation on Internet Archive doesn't always think so, and there is no easy way to change this.

So I wrote a tool to do it.

Installation

You need the internetarchive Python module. See:

https://github.com/jjjake/internetarchive https://archive.org/services/docs/api/internetarchive/quickstart.html

Ideally you'd use a venv.

 $ python3 -m venv venv
 $ source ./venv/bin/activate
 $ pip install internetarchive

Then you need to configure it:

 $ ia configure

Will ask for your Internet Archive credentials. These are the one settile will use.

Usage

$ settile.py ID

This will set the tile to page 0 for the item ID.

• ID is either the item ID or the Internet Archive URL.
• Use -n or --dry-run for trying without saving
• Pass -p N to set the tile to page N
