Features

Processing whole directories with ffmpeg.
Recreating directories with identical foldernames/filenames on the output.
Skipping Files that have alredy been processed.
Deleting half processed files, to keep output directory clean.
Ignoring non media files.

Getting Started

FFenmass is an ffmpeg wrapper, adding the ability to process media files in directories and recreate them recursively.

Prerequisites

ffmpeg
ffpb - Yeah I cant be bothered to make a ffmpeg loading bar, this works fine.
tqdm
rich

Installation

Recommended way is using pip, as building from git can be unstable.

pip3 install ffenmass

Usage

FFenmass is transparent above ffmpeg, this means most ffmpeg syntax can be used with ffenmass as is to encode directories.

Differences to FFmpeg Syntax

• -i - This needs to be a directory created beforehand, instead of a file.

• output - This needs to be a directory, instead of a file.If the directory does not exist it will be created. The output must be the last argument as per standard ffmpeg syntax.

• -ext - This is a custom argument, specific to ffenmass, here you will provide the extension you want for your files, examples mp4,mkv,opus,mp3 , you only provide the extension and with no ., for further clarification, look at the command comparison below.

!! Directories are required to have a trailing slash / !!

The result is, ffenmass will encode all media files detected under the input directory with the provided ffmpeg arguments and output them with the same folder structure and filenames in the output directory.

Example compared to standard ffmpeg syntax

ffmpeg -i input.mkv -vcodec libx265 -preset medium out.mp4


ffenmass -i /path/to/folder/ -vcodec libx265 -preset medium -ext mp4 /output/directory/

Directory Tree visualization of what is going on when you run the command from the example above.

Comments

Resuming Encodes

Redo the queue system, add optional functionality to resume directory encodings based on files present between source and output directories.

Compare source filename's list with output's filename list to see which files are present on the output and skip them

Possible argument names --resume

Issues this may bring?

If a user has a file name myfile.txt in the output directory and a file name myfile.mp4 in the input directory, it will get skipped. As FFenmass is file extension ignorant by design.

Good trade off.

Make media that has not finished encoding reside in /var/tmp/ until encoding is finished, to avoid having corrupted files on the output directory in case of program termination.
