Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

will-it-play

v1.0.1

Published

I was tired of having local home video files not play on my **Playstation 4**. Now at least I'll know that's the case before I get all the way to the console w/ a flash drive. This is also compatible with **Playstation 5**.

will-it-play (on a PS5/4)

I was tired of having local home video files not play on my Playstation 4. Now at least I'll know that's the case before I get all the way to the console w/ a flash drive. This is also compatible with Playstation 5.

npm

Installation

yarn global add will-it-play

or using your JS package manager of choice.

You must also have ffmpeg available. Follow these instructions to download it and these to ensure the ffmpeg binary is available at runtime.

Usage

This is best used as a CLI tool:

% will-it-play ~/Desktop/raindrops.mp4
raindrops.mp4: ✅

% will-it-play ~/Desktop/raindrops-bad-video.ogv
raindrops-bad-video.ogv: ❌

There's also detailed mode, which tells you why a video will or won't play:

% will-it-play ~/Desktop/raindrops-bad-video.ogv -d
raindrops-bad-video.ogv: ❌
┌───────────┬────────┬────────┐
│ Factor    │ Value  │ Valid? │
├───────────┼────────┼────────┤
│ video     │ theora │ ⚠️     │
├───────────┼────────┼────────┤
│ audio     │ vorbis │ ⚠️     │
├───────────┼────────┼────────┤
│ extension │ .ogv   │ ❌     │
└───────────┴────────┴────────┘

It can also be used by its' JS/TS API:

import { willItPlay } from 'will-it-play'

willItPlay('~/Desktop/raindrops.mp4').then((result) => {
  if (result.videoWillPlay) {
    console.log('Yes!')
  } else if (result.videoWillPlay === false) {
    console.log('No.')
  } else {
    console.log('Maybe?')
  }
  // detailed info is found at `result.info`
})

See the CLI source for a more complete example of the code usage.

Improvements

There are probably a lot of audio and video codecs you might have files in. If you see a lot of "⚠️" when using this tool and know for sure if the file does or doesn't play, kindly file an issue with that information.
