# Fabric Helpers
|
|
|
|
These are helper tools to work with Fabric. Examples include things like getting transcripts from media files, getting metadata about media, etc.
|
|
|
|
## yt (YouTube)
|
|
|
|
`yt` is a command that uses the YouTube API to pull transcripts, pull user comments, get video duration, and other functions. It's primary function is to get a transcript from a video that can then be stitched (piped) into other Fabric Patterns.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
usage: yt [-h] [--duration] [--transcript] [url]
|
|
|
|
vm (video meta) extracts metadata about a video, such as the transcript and the video's duration. By Daniel Miessler.
|
|
|
|
positional arguments:
|
|
url YouTube video URL
|
|
|
|
options:
|
|
-h, --help Show this help message and exit
|
|
--duration Output only the duration
|
|
--transcript Output only the transcript
|
|
--comments Output only the user comments
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## ts (Audio transcriptions)
|
|
|
|
'ts' is a command that uses the OpenApi Whisper API to transcribe audio files. Due to the context window, this tool uses pydub to split the files into 10 minute segments. for more information on pydub, please refer https://github.com/jiaaro/pydub
|
|
|
|
### installation

|
```bash
|
|
|
|

|
|
brew install ffmpeg
|

|
|
|
|
````bash
|
|
ts -h
|
|
usage: ts [-h] audio_file
|

|
|
````
|
|
## save
|
|
|
|
`save` is a "tee-like" utility to pipeline saving of content, while keeping the output stream intact. Can optionally generate "frontmatter" for PKM utilities like Obsidian via the
|
|
"FABRIC_FRONTMATTER" environment variable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to default variables, set them in `~/.config/fabric/.env`. `FABRIC_OUTPUT_PATH` needs to be set so `save` where to write. `FABRIC_FRONTMATTER_TAGS` is optional, but useful for tracking how tags have entered your PKM, if that's important to you.
|
|
|
|
### usage
|
|
```bash
|
|
usage: save [-h] [-t, TAG] [-n] [-s] [stub]
|
|
|
|
save: a "tee-like" utility to pipeline saving of content, while keeping the output stream intact. Can optionally generate "frontmatter" for PKM utilities like Obsidian via the
|
|
"FABRIC_FRONTMATTER" environment variable
|
|
|
|
positional arguments:
|
|
stub stub to describe your content. Use quotes if you have spaces. Resulting format is YYYY-MM-DD-stub.md by default
|
|
|
|
options:
|
|
-h, --help show this help message and exit
|
|
-t, TAG, --tag TAG add an additional frontmatter tag. Use this argument multiple timesfor multiple tags
|
|
-n, --nofabric don't use the fabric tags, only use tags from --tag
|
|
-s, --silent don't use STDOUT for output, only save to the file
|
|
