rplace.space

This scrapper made by ProstoSanja is used to get images of the canvas every 30 seconds. Have a look over there for how to run it.

Then every 5 minutes, this tool is run to merge the four parts of the canvas together. Usage is place <list of images to merge>. The list of images must follow this format: [canvas id]-[timestamp].png. Images from the scrapper are already named in the correct format. Merged images are outputted in the current directory at [timestamp].png.

And then, ffmpeg is used to create a time lapse every 5 minutes:

ffmpeg -y -framerate 60 -pattern_type glob -i "*.png" -s:v 2000x2000 -c:v libx264 -crf 17 -pix_fmt yuv420p video.mp4
