# Church Archive Script
### Instructions for archival helpers
Scripts to encode existing Filadelfia recordings while attempting to retain the highest quality and saving what can be saved from the shitty yadif deinterlacing that was being used.
* Download everything
* Extract everything into its own folder
* Go into the church FTP server and grab a few files.
* Remember to put a .txt file or something, indicating you are encoding these.
* Drag and drop the video files over `Encode.bat`
* Upload the resulting `.archive.mkv` and `.web.webm` to the FTP archival folder.
* Contact TheThing and let him know you're done :)
# Instructions for archival helpers
### TL;DR
## 1. Download Filezille or use your favorite FTP client.
Download script, download raw files, drag-and-drop raw files over `Encode.bat` and upload resulting files.
Download filezilla from here: https://filezilla-project.org/download.php?platform=win64
* __Be careful when installing on windows to not install the malware that comes with the installer.__
In filezilla client, click the top-left button "site manager" and add the information you received in DM.

After having saved the information and closed the dialogue, connect to the server by clicking the little downdown icon next to the button above and select the FTP site you just added.
## 2. Grab this script.
Top-right on this site, click the \[...] and in the dropdown, click download zip:

Extract to a folder of your choosing.
## 3. Select a month you wanna encode.
The FTP is organized with two root folders:
* `/Archived`: Stuff that has already been archived or is being archived by people.
* `/Old`: Everything on the filadelfia storage server.
Browse through `/Old/recordings/raw` and select a month you wanna work on.
* __Make sure equivalent month folder does not exist in `/Archived` or that someone else isn't already working on it__
Create a folder in `/Archived` with the selected month and your name to it and proceed to download the folder from `/Old/recordings/raw`
## 4. Encode the stuff
Select all the video files that should be archived.
* Small video files that don't contain sermons or just few minutes of nothing can be safely skipped.
* Already small encodes of sermons (usually in range of few gigabytes) can be safely skipped.
Drag and drop all the video files that need to be archived over `Encode.bat` in the script folder.
## 5. Upload your results and go to step 3
Upload both the finished files as well as any files that were skipped to the `/Archived` on the FTP and go back to step 3.
Repeat until we have everything archived :D
