Your Japanese Name for iOS, part 8

I suppose as some sort of balance to yesterday's activity, today I feel burned out. Even slow progress is some progress, so I should attempt to get at least some small thing done. So I'll attempt to get all the last frames of the movie files out today. Seems the simplest solution is just to get ALL the frames and discard everything except the last one. Which would be the same as just outputting them one after another overwriting the same file... I/O error. Okay, so get all and discard all but last.

Done. This gets last frame of each m4v file in the "m4v" directory and puts it in the "out" directory.

import os, shutil
TMPDIR = "blahfuck"
OUTDIR = "out"
for fn in os.listdir("m4v"):
 for del_fn in os.listdir(TMPDIR): os.unlink("%s/%s" % (TMPDIR, del_fn))
 os.system(r"ffmpeg -i m4v/" + fn + r" " + TMPDIR + r"/%d.png")
 last = sorted(map(lambda x:int(x.replace(".png", "")), os.listdir(TMPDIR)))[-1]
 outpath = "%s/%s" % (OUTDIR, fn.replace("m4v", "png"))
 shutil.copyfile("%s/%s.png" % (TMPDIR, last), outpath)

Idea of getting the characters through SVG seems like a good one, but I can't start doing that now. So what to do instead? Maybe learn about how to post to Facebook. Nice, this SDK seems very easy to integrate. Comes with a simple demo app that posts to facebook stream. Adding this to my project also got me a neat JSON library. I will enjoy it.

Facebook login almost works, but do I really need it to post to the stream? Can't I just invoke the stream post dialog without this login hassle, I remember seeing it in some other app. But time to sleep now ...
