My little script to download gifs, convert them to movies, loop them, and then send them to noisebridge's flaschen taschen.

gif_url_to_ft.py

import os
import sys

url = sys.argv[2]

#Gnarly system calls.
os.system("curl " + url + " > ~/gifs/temp.gif")
os.system("ffmpeg -y -f gif -i ~/gifs/temp.gif ~/gifs/temp.mp4")
os.system("ffmpeg -y -f concat -i ~/gifs/list.txt -c copy ~/gifs/looptemp.mp4")
os.system("~/git/noisebrdige/ft-demos/black -l14 -t3600 & ~/git/noisebrdige/ft-demos/ft/client/send-video -l15 ~/gifs/looptemp.mp4")
