danmakuC 0.3.6

Faster conversion for larger Danmaku to Ass format

danmakuC

Faster conversion for larger Danmaku to Ass format. Core conversion part is written in C++ while with user-friendly Python api and cli.

Currently, support types:

• bilibili protobuf
• niconico protobuf since 0.3.1

Why danmakuC?

.ass format can be recognized by your local video player, while Danmaku2ASS and biliass provides a great tool to convert danmaku to ass format, the conversion of large danmaku is incredibly slow since it's a heavy CPU bound task for Python🥲. danmakuC refactor those two repos and provide a much faster C++ implementation to speed up conversion. Let's see how fast it is:

	test_dm.bin (218 comments)	test_dm_large.bin (59,003 comments)
Danmaku2ASS/biliass	0.0105 s	47.0650 s
danmakuC	0.0009 s	0.2077 s

Results are obtained in M1 arm64 chip mac with python3.10 danmakuC v0.1a0, danmaku file is downloaded from bilibili by bilix.

As you can see, over 100 times faster in large conversion. For video with more viewer and comments (like movie and tv play), a fast tool like danmakuC is just what you need✊.

In python, you can use danmakuC like:

from danmakuC.bilibili import proto2ass

    ass_text = proto2ass(f.read(), 1920, 1080)

If you prefer to use cli, you can use danmakuC like:

danmakuC src.bin -o tgt.ass

for more feature, you can check -h

danmakuC -h
