GalaxieDrake Documentation

Once upon a time, this project was hosted on a ancient platform called GitHub. Then came the Buyer. The Buyer bought GitHub, willing to rule over its community. I was not to sell, so here is the new home of “https://github.com/Tuuux/GalaxieDrakeCLI”.

The Project

GalaxieDrake is semi automatized Text Based Media Center ToolKit under GPL v3 free software license. It use different tool’s in background like mediainfo, mkvmerge; mkvextract, handbrake-cli and is write with Python.

Originally the project have start in 2016 when the author Jérôme.O have start to learn Python.

GalaxieDrake provide Command Line Interface tool and a Python API. if you searching a peace of code you certainly found it , and don’t hesitate to copy it .

The Mission

Provide a Text Based tool for create/maintain a standardized MediaCenter. Unfortunately all commercial solution, want to jail you personal data’s inside cloud or non open or standard format. years after years the mess continue… The humanity need better … we need free solution …

Originally the author have create few script’s to help him to transcode video’s take with him PVR. (Personal Video Recorder) The original source was EU MPEG .ts format, in destination to Matroska container. Later the need of transcoding video from many source like camera, smartphone to many destination like a home multi-display.

Actually the main format target is Matroska container, h.264 profile 4.1, FullHD 1920x1080 it be a good standard and the one use by RasberryPI

All GalaxieDrake tool’s, try to make automation possible, and back to a Open Containt standard format.

The final goal is to provide a Pure Curses Text based and Command line Transcoding tool suite. Why to it ? that because they tool are suppose to run inside a NAS or a Minimal GNU/Linux system over SSH.

Don’t see the GalaxieDrake suite tool as a pirate usage.

During lot of years the main stream was to provide big computer with big GUI Toolkit, unfortunately almost nobody have care about ultra low profile computer and we are now in a situation where no mature ToolKit is ready to use on pen computer. Time’s change then it’s time to change the world …
