I have written a little Ruby script to restore information on video/ audio files in a Miro dir structure to a Miro database - the main thing I can't do is to find the feed for particluar directories eg the dir:
but you can't find out what this will be from the stored videos. One of the Miro developers has suggested:
"You could probably write a Python command line script that does what you need it to do by using Miro as a library. Then your Ruby script could invoke your Python script to get the name of the feed."
Are there any examples around of Ruby communicating with Python?
Anyone got a simple example that would get me started?
You can get the output of a python script (or any command line
program) from ruby like this:
output = `script.py`
(or, to specifically call the interpreter)
output = `python script.py`
This will put anything script.py sends to stdout in the 'output' variable.
