# NOTE: moved to https://github.com/MawKKe/audiobook-split-ffmpeg
# split_ffmpeg.py
#
# Split audio file into multiple files, using ffmpeg, with no loss in quality.
#
# Uses chapter metadata to decide at which timestamps to split the file. Obviously this script
# will only be able to split files with such metadata included. Chapter metadata should be
# visible from 'ffprobe <file>' output. If not, this script will be useless. Example metadata is
# the form:
#
# Chapter #0:0: start 0.000000, end 1079.000000
# Metadata:
# title : Chapter One
# Chapter #0:1: start 1079.000000, end 2040.000000
# Metadata:
# title : Chapter Two
# Chapter #0:2: start 2040.000000, end 2878.000000
# Metadata:
# title : Chapter Three
# Chapter #0:3: start 2878.000000, end 3506.000000
# Metadata:
# title : Chapter Four
# Chapter #0:4: start 3506.000000, end 4696.000000
# Metadata:
# title : Chapter Five
# Chapter #0:5: start 4696.000000, end 5741.000000
# Metadata:
# title : Chapter Six
# Chapter #0:6: start 5741.000000, end 7131.000000
# ...
#
# By default, the chapter files will be written into a temporary directory under /tmp.
# You may specify alternative output directory with '--outdir <path>', which will be created if it
# does not exist. Note that this script will never overwrite files, so you must delete conflicting
# files manually (or specify some other empty/nonexistent directory)
#
# The chapter titles will be included in the filenames if they are available in the chapter metadata.
# You may prevent this behaviour with flag '--no-use-title', in which case the filenames
# will include the input file basename instead (this is useful is your metadata is crappy, for example).
#
# This script will also instruct ffmpeg to write metadata in the resulting chapter files, including:
# - 'track': the chapter number; in the format X/Y, where X = chapter number, Y = total num of chapters.
# - 'title': the chapter title, as-is (if available)
#
# The chapter numbers are included in the output file names, padded with zeroes so that all
# numbers are of equal length. This makes the files much easier to sort by name.
#
# Work is done in parallel with the help of a thread pool. You may specify
# how many parallel jobs you want with command line param '--concurrency'.
# The default concurrency is equal to the number of cores available (although I think this
# might be silly since this kind of processing isn't so much cpu-bound as it is IO-bound).
#
# Dependencies:
#
# - Python 3.5 or newer
# - Obviously you need ffmpeg (and ffprobe) installed. Otherwise python3 stdlib should suffice.

@halekii The current script version should now include the title in the output file metadata (if available in original chapter metadata). The script now also fills the 'track' metadata field with the chapter number

Fantastic, it works perfectly! The addition of the zero-padded chapter numbers to the filenames is also very useful. Thank you very much!
