🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

sreview-previews TALKID

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so sreview-previews does these things, in order, no skips, full main character energy:

• Look up the talk with id TALKID in the database. 🔍
• Verify if the codecs in the pre, main, and post videos as produced by sreview-cut are HTML5-compatible. If they are, copy them to a MP4 or WebM container from the Matroska one. 💅
• If they are not, convert them to the vp8_lq profile. 🔥
• Update the database to set the current talk's progress field to done. ✅

---

🎀 CONFIGURATION 🎀

sreview-previews considers the following configuration values:

• dbistring — The DBI string used to connect to the database. 🗄️
• pubdir — The directory in which to find the output of sreview-cut, and in which to write the previews. 📁
