CGI

This example consists of 2 parts:

flix2_sample.py

and

process_sample.py

flix2_sample.py

searches for

uploaded files to encode and allows the user to select one while giving the option to set values for most
of the engine’s functions. The engine options are separated into sections that map to the engine’s include
files.

To use this example navigate to

flix2_sample.py

in your web browser, select a file from the list, set any of

the desired options and click the encode button. The selected options are submitted to

process_sample.py

which runs the encode loop.

Default file locations used by the scripts:

Input

: /var/www/cgi-bin/flixmedia/in ($indir in

flix2_sample.py

)

Overlay

: /var/www/cgi-bin/flixmedia/overlay ($overlaydir in

flix2_sample.py

)

Output

: /var/www/cgi-bin/flixmedia/out ($outdir in

process_sample.py

)
