Video recording conferences and user groups using Python
summary
Automated conference video pipeline that replaces slow SD‑card editing with live mixing, automated encoding and YouTube uploads; handles a four‑stream, three‑day event with about 199 talks (~45 hours) and turns raw captures into viewable videos within minutes. Built open hardware HDMI USB capture boxes with custom firmware (avoids flaky vendor drivers), a simple live UI (vato mix), MLT/ffmpeg jobs, systemd/ansible deployment, a Django/worker workflow and YouTube API integration; the system runs during events and reliably produces publishable videos.
