Are you including all the 7519 columns in your video 😅?

This is the dataframe structure that I have generated of the cumulative sum which is sent to the bar_chart_race function, please confirm me if this is the correct structure that i have generated. let me know if I have made any error

Thank you so much to all, It worked.

How should I proceed?

Hmm, if you're including 7519 columns, it will take time. For now, just add 5 rows and 5 columns, or 10 rows by 10 columns. I think I read in the bar chart documentation that the more rows and columns you have, the longer it takes to render.Since, it generates frame by frame something like that. Also, only play the video after your cell is done running.

Great 🥳

What should I do next? record this as a contribution or send PAWS link to @Ederporto

check this message https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T358412#9628885 by @Ederporto

Hey @Abishek_Das and @all, can someone clarify this statement made by @Ederporto, "You all have to make at least a draft proposal in the Outreachy platform by March 17th, as we will close new applications in the 18th, you can update it later, but your draft needs to be up by then."

Is it just to record a contribution or apply for the project (which comes after you've recorded your contribution).

pls can anyone help me with this error

Can you share the code , what you wrote inside function which you are calling?

Hello everyone, I am also an Outreachy applicant for 2024.

Today, I discovered the message on Phabricator; however, I initially assumed that all discussions were taking place in the Zulip channel. Consequently, I didn't check the Phabricator comments section.

To keep it concise, I'd like to address how to make FFmpeg work on the PAWS Jupyter Notebook for the task "Create a tool for informative infographics from structured information from Wikimedia projects - Task A."

The reason FFmpeg isn't functioning on the PAWS Jupyter Notebook is that we need to download and add FFmpeg Static Builds from (https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/) to the same folder where we have the code.

Here's a step-by-step guide (So, you don't have to go through the trouble of downloading from https://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/):

Note: Before you do the step mentioned in point (a), make sure all the steps, i.e., b, c, d, and e, are done first.

a) I've attached code that you can add to your Jupyter Notebook cell (Same notebook where you have your code to generate the bar chart race). Run this code to resolve the FFmpeg issue.

# Download a static FFmpeg build and add it to PATH.
%run 'util/load-ffmpeg.ipynb'
print('Done!')

b) Prior to running the code mentioned in point (a), add/upload the "util" folder to your PAWS. I've included the folder below.

util.zip864 BDownload

(You, have to unzip it after downloading)

c) The purpose of the "util" folder is to automatically add the FFmpeg Static Build File (which is a folder) to your PAWS when you run the provided code mentioned in point (a).

d) Ensure that the filename in bcr.bar_chart_race() has a ".mp4" extension.

e) After completing these steps, you can run your respective code, which is the code for generating the bar chart race.

Note:

a) You might encounter a warning / Error (Which again doesn't appear when I run my code locally and only sometimes appears on my PAWS Jupyter Notebook), as shown in the attached screenshot. However, this is not an issue, as the video file will be generated in the PAWS folder after running your code. You can then download the bar chart race video and watch the video(as shown the screenshot below).

b) If your code works correctly locally, it should generally (90%-99% of the time) work on the PAWS online Jupyter Notebook.

c) The warning or error screenshot I provided may or may not appear (Which happens to me only on PAWS), so be mindful of that.

d) Ensure that the filename in bcr.bar_chart_race() has a ".mp4" extension, as the ".html" filename won't appear on PAWS. But, Again, the .html works locally.

e) Why the .html doesn't appear on PAWS, I have no idea about it, and I have still not looked for a solution related to .html since the .mp4 file is generated on PAWS without any issue.

f) All the things I have mentioned on how to solve the issue related to FFmpeg were taken from various documentation like Matplotlib 3.8.3 documentation and, of course, my favorite stack overflow (So, thanks to the Devs on Stack Overflow).
