💖 ser-player — the manual page but make it a group chat 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to ser-player(1), a User Commands situation, and I am so excited to tell you about it. no cap, this one's lowkey iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

ser-player — a video player and processing utility for SER files. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ser-player [ser_to_open]

yes bestie, that's it. one optional little guy in brackets. we love a minimal synopsis. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so, a video player and processing utility for SER files. SER files, for the uninitiated, are what you get when you've got a fast frame rate astronomy camera and you're like "hmm, the AVI file format isn't giving" — so instead of storing that data in AVI, you store it in SER. ✨

and this app? it lets you review those SER files exactly the same way you'd review AVI files with a video player. literally the same energy, just a different container. it's giving "same girl, different outfit". 👑

🔥 OPTIONS 🔥

  • ser_to_open — open a SER file right after start-up. like, immediately. no waiting. main character energy from the jump. 🚀

💀 BUGS 💀

ngl, there is a list of bugs, and it lives on github, and you can find it at:

https://github.com/cgarry/ser-player/issues

go look. or don't. but if you find one, that's where it goes. 🙈

lowkey remember: the SER file format exists so you don't have to use AVI for your fast frame rate astronomy camera data. that's the whole reason this thing exists. no cap.

and that's the tea, bestie 🍓 — this page is from way back in September 2017, it's the ser-player manual, and it's filed under User Commands in section 1. mwah. 😘💖✨
