# Pythagoras

Local-run server which acts as a proxy between the moderation server, presentation client and subtitle scripts. This is a single-purpose ugly implementation with its sole purpose being the Richard Stallman lecture at TUL.

## Installation

Clone the repository: 

`git clone git@gordon.zumepro.cz:zumepro/pythagoras.git`

Install the dependencies:

`cd pythagoras`

`python -m venv venv`

`source venv/bin/activate`

`pip install -r requirements.txt`

## Running the app

Simply run the main Python file to start the server:

 `python main.py`

## Usage

To push new subtitles onto the server, use the `/subtitles` endpoint, for example like this:

`
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/subtitles -H "Content-Type: text/plain" -d 'I love pushing subtitles to servers!'
`

To control the server using commands, use the `/control` endpoint, for example like this:

- Poll the peehaitchpea server for the latest message to display:

`
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/control -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"command": "getselectedmessage"}'
`

- Change the state of auto-polling:

`
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/control -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"command": "setautopolling", "state": false}'
`

`
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/control -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"command": "setautopolling", "state": true}'
`

- Set the polling rate to a value (in seconds):

`
curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/control -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"command": "autopollingrate", "rate": 10}'
` 

## TODO

- Create a command for playing a video (the TED talk RMS likes to play at the beginning of his lecture)
