/tests/TESTING.txt

 1Test that an Echo-Nest-Remix-compatible version of ffmpeg is installed.
 2
 3Run the tests like this:
 4    python test_ffmpeg.py
 5    
 6If you want to test that your version of ffmpeg can handle a particular file, 
 7(like if you're planning on analyzing OggVorbis files and want to make sure
 8your ffmpeg can decode them), run like this:
 9    python test_ffmpeg.py my_crazy_audio_file.mp47
10
11If any of these tests fail, chances are you are using a version of ffmpeg
12that doesn't have all the codecs it needs installed. To remedy this, either 
13find and install the missing codecs, or use the version of en-ffmpeg provided
14by The Echo Nest. To use the provided en-ffmpeg, copy the binary appropriate 
15to your OS from external/en-ffmpeg/ to the location where your system keeps
16binaries (on mac this is /usr/local/bin/).
