g_man

A Discord bot for editing videos, useful for simple edits or making memes. It can apply a large variety of filters, modify bitrate, and create glitch art.
Filters are applied using FFMPEG, with some corruption commands using tomato.py (https://github.com/itsKaspar/tomato) or AviGlitch (https://github.com/ucnv/aviglitch).

Features

• Change video and audio bitrate.
• Easily apply various filters such as contrast, blur, volume, etc.
  • For advanced users, there is a !filter command that can apply almost any filter available in FFMPEG.
• Apply premade sequences of filters, such as !tutorial to convert a video into an old-school YouTube tutorial.
• Corrupt videos in various ways, such as datamoshing and modifying random chunks of bytes in the video file.
• Save your videos using a personal bookmark system, and load your bookmarks in any server g_man is in.

You can get this link from within Discord by sending "!help" in a channel

Requirements

• Static build of ffmpeg (version 4.2 or above)
• A MongoDB database
  • The bot looks for a database called gman. It uses a collection called inventory for the bookmark system and videos for keeping track of videos sent.
• AviGlitch, see https://github.com/ucnv/aviglitch for installation instructions. This is needed for the !mosh command.
• All the Python packages in requirements.txt

You can install the Python packages, preferably in a virtual environment, by running

pip install -r requirements.txt

Tip: If you using Mac or Linux, you may have Python 2/Pip 2 preinstalled. You should run:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Installation

• Download/install all requirements.
• Set up these folders with the following contents (if a folder doesn't exist, create it):
  • ffmpeg-static
    • Add the static build of ffmpeg to this folder (the executable ffmpeg file should be in this folder).
  • vids
    • Keep this folder empty as its contents are often deleted. It's used by g_man for processing videos.
  • fonts
    • Add .ttf files for the Arial and Impact fonts (called arial.ttf and impact.ttf) to this folder. Arial is required for the !tutorial command and Impact for !text.
    • (Optional) Upload any additional .ttf you want to use (useful if you use the !filter command).
  • tutorial/songs
    • Add any .mp3 background music you want for the !tutorial command. Some fitting songs are:
      • Trance - 009 Sound System Dreamscape
      • Evanescence - Bring Me to Life
      • Papa Roach - Last Resort
      • Any other songs used in YouTube tutorial videos during the late 2000's.
  • clips
    • Add the following .mp3 files if you wish to use the commands associated with them:
      • americ.mp3 (The song "Never Meant" by American Football, used with the !americ command).
      • mahna.mp3 (The song "Mah Na Mah Na" from the Muppets soundtrack, used with the !mahna command).
      • tetris.mp3 (The Tetris beatbox song by Verbalase, used with the !tetris command).
• Create a copy of bot_info_template.json and rename it to bot_info.json. Fill it in with the appropriate information (keep the quotes).
