Some scripts I made for creating a timelapse from an RTSP stream

rtsp-timelapse-scripts's Issues

Python versions?

Having used this successfully and now setting up on another device, having some issues

I'm running:

/home/user/Downloads/rtsp-timelapse-scripts-main/grab-timelapse-frame.py --city Manchester --output-directory /media/timelapse --output-filenames opsbuilding --url 'rtsp://admin:[email protected]:554/Streaming/Channels/101'

But getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/user/Downloads/rtsp-timelapse-scripts-main/grab-timelapse-frame.py", line 116, in <module>
    main()
  File "/home/user/Downloads/rtsp-timelapse-scripts-main/grab-timelapse-frame.py", line 69, in main
    action=argparse.BooleanOptionalAction,
AttributeError: module 'argparse' has no attribute 'BooleanOptionalAction'

Google suggests python 3.9 is required, but trying to get that running on Ubuntu 2.04 has been a nightmare so far.

Just looking for some clarification on versions, before I pursue - many thanks

filter-timelapse-frames.py path to pile parameter

Thank you for posting this, it's almost exactly what I've been looking for: capture a UniFi Protect time lapse on a Synology NAS. I've made a few slight tweaks, and have successfully set up a Docker container on the NAS and I've been able to collect a day's worth of image grabs using grab-timelapse-frames.py. I'm now trying to create a movie, and I'm not getting past the filter frames stage.

pi@camera:~/rtsp-timelapse-scripts $ ./filter-timelapse-frames.py /volume1/timelapse --sample 6 > /tmp/filelist
usage: filter-timelapse-frames.py [-h] [--skip-weekends SKIP_WEEKENDS]
                                  [--sample SAMPLE]
                                  [--supersample_ranges SUPERSAMPLE_RANGES]
filter-timelapse-frames.py: error: unrecognized arguments: /volume1/timelapse

How do we specify where the input files are located? I took a SWAG, and tried running the script from the /volume1/timelapse directory which is where the grab script puts them, and leaving off the directory parameter, but that just caused fileinput.input() to try reading from stdin, which accomplished nothing.

I tried adding a positional argument to the parser list, and passing that value to fileinput.input() so the posted syntax works, but now it simply trows an "IsADirectoryError" exception.

Either something is broken, or I'm too stoooopid to figure it out. The latter is entirely possible: I have almost four decades of professional programming experience, but I only lightly dabble in Python, and I have no experience with the fileinput library.

Help w/ sample argument

Can you please provide some clarification on sample parameter in filter-timelapse-frames.py?

$ ./filter-timelapse-frames.py /path/to/pile --sample 10 > /tmp/filelist

I am running the capture command every minute, and have about 50GB of images saved so far...
