Automatically generate thumbnails for MSEM commentary videos.

Currently this tool can only generate thumbnails in the format of my MSEM commentary video thumbnails. Don't know if I'll add more configuration options in the future.

usage: msem_thumb.py [-h] config_json

positional arguments:
  config_json  Path to config json

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -o, --output OUTPUT
                        Name of the output file (no extension)

The config json is used to configure the parameters of the thumbnail. See the config.json in example for an example of the json.

Most properties in the json are optional. If a property for an element is missing, then the script will simply skip generating that element.

This script uses cards.xml to figure out urls from card names. The cardsXmlPath property in the config json is mandatory. See the cardimgdl part of the README for more details about the cards.xml.

cardimgdl.py can be run as a standalone script to download a card image from the command line. No more having to go to instigator and look up the card and then right clicking the image and then looking through your download folder!

usage: cardimgdl.py -c CARDXML [cardnames ...]

positional arguments:
  cardname              Name(s) of the card(s), as they appear on Cockatrice

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -c, --cardxml CARDXML
                        Path to cards.xml

cardimgdl.py needs to know the path to your cards.xml, as it will use that to figure out the image url for the card. You should be able to find cards.xml in your Cockatrice folder. If you have multiple Cockatrice portables installed, make sure you're pointing to the msem one.

You may want to create an alias for cardimgdl that has -c already set.
