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)
