Mike Lang 3ce8360a1e cutter: Add database manager and connections
One connection each for transcode checker and cutter.
We don't need more than one each since both workers only ever do one thing at once.

Mike Lang fdd245a6d9 cutter: Add lightweight youtube client
Provides basic youtube api calls, and gets passed into both transcode checker and cutter.

The official youtube client library is many orders of magnitude larger and more complicated,
and can't actually do what we want (stream an upload of unknown size).

Mike Lang dfc64481a6 Port existing cutting code from restreamer into common
Note this moves over the 'experimental' cutter and deletes the original cutter
that concatenates entire videos before cutting.
We may eventually want to revive that method if the experimental cutter turns out
to introduce too many issues.

We move most of the code over verbatim, but adjust it such that it acts
as a generic iterator that can be used in a variety of contexts.

Some other changes made during the move include telling ffmpeg to be quieter
(don't output version info and junk, only log if something goes wrong),
and avoiding errors during cleanup.

Mike Lang 3d9ba77745 common: add allow_holes option to get_best_segments() to abort early if holes found
This is a performance optimization, allowing us to fail out early (potentially avoiding a LOT
of work) if we know we're going to reject any result that contains holes.

We add a new exception ContainsHoles that is raised in this condition.

Mike Lang e4b6110fd7 cutter: Add initial outline
The cutter has two jobs:
* To cut videos, taking them through states EDITED -> TRANSCODING
* To monitor TRANSCODING videos for when they're complete

We run these as separate greenlets with their own DB connections,
and if either dies we gracefully shut down the other.

Christopher Usher f43c699e05 updated thrimshim to handle all non-null edit columns 6 years ago
Mike Lang e383613954 database: Add constraints on edit inputs that they must be non-NULL if state != UNEDITED
This should help prevent changing state to EDITED with any of these fields unset,
which would blow up the cutter.

We also fix up upload_location, which was set up as a sheet input (NOT NULL DEFAULT ''),
and add a similar constraint saying any DONE columns must have non-NULL video link.

Mike Lang 292188ad7c database: Remove retry_on_conflict helper and default to autocommit
All our usage was of a single query anyway, so autocommit is easier to handle.
You can still opt into a longer transaction using the transaction() helper.

Mike Lang 73640ed4ab database: Add column video_id for storing upload-location-specific metadata for identifying video
ie. for youtube, the video id.

Mike Lang dc2eb6ed74 Add some common database code
This code manages the database connections, setting their isolation level correctly
and ensuring the idempotent schema is applied before they're used.

Applying the schema on startup means we don't need to deal with the database's state,
setting it up before running, running migrations etc. However, it does put constraints on
the changes we can safely make.

Our use of seralizable isolation means that all transactions can be treated as fully
independent - the server must behave as though they'd been run seperately in some valid order.
This will give us the least surprising results when multiple connections try to modify the same
data, though we'll need to deal with occasional transaction commit failures due to conficts.

Mike Lang cea66a4bbf database: Rename start/end to event_start/end, add channel and quality
* Had to rename `end` as `end` is a reserved word in postgres SQL.
`event_end` is more consistent with `video_end` anyway. Updated `start` to match.

* Added ability to specify channel and stream quality in the editor, which may prove useful
if we have issues with a particular stream quality, or if content needs to be captured from
other channels.

MasterGunner d89458c27d Update DATABASE.md
Changed allow_holes and uploader_whitelist to be edit inputs - there's no need for them to come from the sheet; and we'll have an admin dashboard for modifying them if needed.

Mike Lang 437d38e646 DATABASE.md: Add image_links column
This solves the problem of rows which don't need a full cut video,
but we'd like to link to an image or a short gif or clip of it.
It is a sheet input that is only used in the output sheet, so it doesn't affect the wubloader itself.

Mike Lang f0d9aa82c2 Ignore segments that are marked as ads
* Checks for the SCTE35-OUT/SCTE35-IN marks in the HLS stream that indicate an ad start/end
* Ignores those segments completely
* Doesn't mark the StreamWorker as up until it sees the first non-ad segment

Some other operational notes:
* The main risk this adds is that re-connecting / refreshing master playlist takes longer.
  If all downloaders are doing this at the same time (ie. because the stream only just came up,
  or during a deployment rollout), all downloaders might be waiting for ads to finish and
  you'll miss segments.
* We should run more downloaders to compensate. This also increases the chance at least one of
  them won't get any ads, so we get everything right from stream-up.
* The other mitigation we can do is have geographically diverse downloaders. This decreases the risk
  that they all get served an ad, and at least at time of writing it seems that no in-stream ads
  are served outside of these regions:

Mike Lang ef0a78fce3 Updates to database states and columns
Split UPLOADED into TRANSCODING and DONE, to represent the time after upload
that youtube is transcoding the video and it's not viewable.

Any cutter can poll for the state of a transcoding video and mark it as done.

Add some extra sheet input columns.
