# Show Processing

We receive random files from random people on the Internet, so they are treated with extreme care.

The HPR Database is used to track the `status` of each show as it is been processed, using a normally hidden table `reservations`. It is not publicly available as it contains the IP address of the host uploading the show as a security measure. Once the show is processed the IP address is removed from the table. 

Information about the show process is available to the Janitors via [stats.php](https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr_hub/src/branch/main/cms/stats.php).

A cron job `*/15 * * * * /home/hpr/bin/update-stats.bash > /dev/null 2>&1` runs every 15 minutes and saves the file to [https://hub.hackerpublicradio.org/stats.json](https://hub.hackerpublicradio.org/stats.json) for anyone to use.

## Input Directory Structure

The files are never processed by the front end HPR servers, and so all processing is done offline.

The files are downloaded by trusted Janitors that have the ability to `scp`/`rsync` the files from the HPR to a local machine for processing.

The directory structure is based on a combination of fields separated by the underscore (`_`) delimiter.

- Upload date and time `UTC_TIMESTAMP()` at reservation time.
- The requested `episode number` or `9999` if the reserve pool is to be used.
- The requested `epidode date` or `1970-01-01` if the reserve pool is to be used.
- The random unique key for this request.

```

```

The upload will produce at a minimum a `shownote.json` file. It may also include a host photo, and usually a media file for the episode. If the media file is not provided, then the Janitors will attempt to download it from the provided `url`. If that is not possible, then the host will be contacted to provide the show, and if they do not or if it will cause a delay, the show slot is freed up for another contributor.

Addition files and images may be provided by the host, eg: images, scripts, pdf documents etc.

Shows destined for the reserve pool are moved from the upload directory and placed in the reserve directory using the script [rename-reserve.bash](https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr-tools/src/branch/main/workflow/rename-reserve.bash). 

This is run manually by the Janitors as it checks to see if a url to the show was provided, and attempts to download the linked file. When new hosts submit a show directly to the reserve pool, the Janitors will resubmit it to the first available slot in the normal queue. This is because new hosts need to have an entry created in the `hosts` table, but also because it gives the community an opportunity to welcome the new host.

It renames the directory structure based on a combination of fields separated by the underscore (`_`) delimiter.

- Upload date and time `UTC_TIMESTAMP()` at reservation time.
- The `hosts.hostid` of the host. 
- The random unique key for this request.
- The host name `hosts.host` of the host.
- The spaces replaced with underscore title of the episode.

```
Reserve shows are downloaded and submitted by the Janitors on behalf of the host. This follows the normal posting process where the host and Janitors are cc'd on the notification emails. The only difference is that the audio is edited to include a notification that the show is from the reserve pool, and that it is the Janitors that upload the show via the supplied link.

## Adding the host to the `hosts` table

This is currently added manually by the Janitors, as the text to speech tools often requires manipulation to get it sounding correct.

Host Images/Avatars, can either be:

<strong>Local Images</strong> uploaded when the host submits or <s><a href="https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr_hub/issues/66">edits</a></s> their profile. 

<strong><a href="https://gravatar.com/">Gravatar</a></strong> Images downloaded periodically by the Janitors.

<strong>[Default Images](https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr_generator/src/branch/main/public_html/images/hpr_logo.png)</strong> added by [hpr_generator](https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr_generator/src/branch/main/templates/shared-avatar.tpl.html) when the host has no other image.

All the images are [currently](https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr_generator/issues/234) stored in the [hpr_generator](https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr_generator/src/branch/main/public_html/images/hosts) repository, and get transferred to the server using [hpr-publish.bash](https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr-tools/src/branch/main/workflow/hpr-publish.bash).

### Adding the episode to the `eps` table

The script [postshow.bash](https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr-tools/src/branch/main/workflow/postshow.bash) is run locally on the Janitors computer.
It calls the HPR CMS script [status.php](https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr_hub/src/branch/main/cms/status.php) to return a tab separated list of the shows in the queue.

```
timestamp_epoc	ep_num	ep_date	key	status	email
2339594445	9278	2044-02-24	aeb0579fcac318005d7550a60fd60403676c24d94148b	SHOW_SUBMITTED	joe.blogg.nospam@nospam.example.com
2339680845	9999	1970-01-01	4bd713699e5bc0978d5fef85a60f09bc7f70ef3488624	RESERVE_SHOW_SUBMITTED	Emperor.Ming.nospam@nospam.example.com
```
It selects the first show with a status of `SHOW_SUBMITTED` and uses `rsync` to clone the directory locally. It then parses the `shownotes.json` file and extracts the shownotes object to a new file `shownotes.html`.

All embedded images are saved as local image files, with the format `hpr${ep_num}_${image_count}` based on "episode number", a underscore as delimiter, and then a sequential number of the image in the notes. eg `hpr9876_1.jpg`. 

Where they are images larger than 400 pixels wide, a thumbnail is created with the same image name but suffixed with `_tn`. eg `hpr9876_1_tn.jpg`. 

The Janitors then review the shownotes for issues. 

The duration will be extracted from the media, and the other metadata from the `shownotes.json` file. After some checks it will be [URL encoded](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding). 

The script allows overwriting of any value in the json file from the command line, and also prevents posting from a new host that has not yet been assigned a entry in the `hosts` table.

Once all the checks are done the script will `rsync` the following files back to the upload directory.

- `shownotes_origional.json` the original json file for reference.
- `shownotes.json` the human readable formatted json file.
- `shownotes.html` the extracted and edited show notes.
- `post_show.json` the json file used to create the `eps` table entry.
- Any additional images in the format `hpr${ep_num}_${image_count}.${ext}` and if greater than 400 pixels, then the thumbnail in the format `hpr${ep_num}_${image_count}_tn.${ext}`.
- Any supporting files.

Then it will use the `curl` command to POST the show to [add_show_json.php](https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr_hub/src/branch/main/cms/add_show_json.php).

---

The HPR CMS script [add_show_json.php](https://repo.anhonesthost.net/HPR/hpr_hub/src/branch/main/cms/add_show_json.php) will validate the input, and add an entry into the `eps` table of the database.

## Output Directory Structure

It should be possible to ship the entire backlog on physical media to someone, and have them plug it in and for any media player be able to play it. Each episode has it's own "album" which corresponds to a directory. The directory structure is kept as flat as possible with everything related to show eg: 9278 in a single directory `hpr9278`. This is the least common denominator, and in no way precludes web services, or other applications.

We do however need to support other functionality so the _Episodes_ are kept inside of the `eps` directory, the _Hosts_ are in `hosts/`, and _Series_ are in `series/`.

# Layers

We get files from different locations. The source files are delivered by the hosts, some are generated by processing, and others are added by the Janitors that cleanup the show notes.

All these are combined and end up as a complete entity, on one of the HPR [Origin servers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upstream_server). 

From there is delivered made available via RSS, etc.

In our worked example a host uploads a show recorded in an audio file in [flac](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FLAC) format.

They describe the show in show notes, and include an image of the output.
