I am trying to figure out which distro this script (scene_splitter.sh) was built for. Everytime I try to use it I get the following error.

x@x-pc:/media/x/WD_2TB_HDD/test$ ./scene_splitter.sh 001.mp4

It seems it was built for using with a distro that allows a folder and a file to have the same exact name, only difference being one a folder and one a file... assuming that distro knows the difference and thus allows it.

Here is the code for scene_splitter.sh

#/bin/bash

start=0; 
count=0; 
in="$1"
bn="$(basename "$in")"
echo "=============================================================================="
echo "FILE START: $bn"
mkdir "./$bn"

echo "Finding Scene... this might take a while..."
ffmpeg -nostdin -i "$in" -filter:v "select='gt(scene,0.1)',showinfo" -f null - 2>"./$bn/ffout.tmp.txt"

echo "Filtering timestamp... this might take a while..."
grep showinfo "./$bn/ffout.tmp.txt" | grep pts_time:[0-9.]* -o | grep '[0-9]*.[0-9]*' -o > "./$bn/timestamps.tmp.txt"

scenes=$(wc -l < "./$bn/timestamps.tmp.txt")
echo "Found $scenes scenes"
sleep 1

while IFS= read -r line; do
 echo "---------------------------------------------------------------------------"
 echo "SCENE START: $count/$scenes ($start,$line)"
 ffmpeg -i "$in" -ss "$start" -to "$line" -nostdin -y -vcodec libx264 -acodec aac -g 120 -s 1280x720 -r 30 "./$bn/$bn.($count of $scenes).mp4"
 echo "SCENE DONE:$count/$scenes ($start,$line)"
 echo "---------------------------------------------------------------------------"
 start=$line
 count=$(($count+1))
 sleep 1

done <"./$bn/timestamps.tmp.txt"
echo "---------------------------------------------------------------------------"
echo "LAST SCENE START:$count/$scenes ($start,end)"
ffmpeg -i "$in" -ss "$start" -nostdin -y -vcodec libx264 -acodec aac -g 120 -s 1280x720 -r 30 "./$bn/$bn.($count of $scenes).mp4"
echo "LAST SCENE DONE:$count/$scenes ($start,end)"
echo "---------------------------------------------------------------------------"

echo "FILE DONE: $bn"
echo "=============================================================================="

Does anyone know how to edit this script so that it doesn't want to create a directory with the exact same name as the file being inputted?

Creating a directory with the same name as a file is not really possible on any Linux or Unix (that I know of, at least.)

But that's not really what the script is trying to do.

If you look carefully, you'll notice it's creating a directory with the same basename of the input file, but on the current directory.

Look at this part:

bn="$(basename "$in")"
# ...
mkdir "./$bn"

So, if given an input file of /path/to/movies/001.mp4 or ../movies/001.mp4, then it will try to create the ./001.mp4 directory, which is different from the input file (assuming your in a directory other than /path/to/movies in the example I used.)

The script is expecting you're running it from the output directory, and that the input files live in a separate directory other than the current one.

For example, this usage should work fine for you:

x@x-pc:/media/x/WD_2TB_HDD/test$ mkdir output
x@x-pc:/media/x/WD_2TB_HDD/test$ cd output
x@x-pc:/media/x/WD_2TB_HDD/test/output$ ../scene_splitter.sh ../001.mp4

UPDATE: If you want to modify the script to avoid the name clash, simply changing how bn is defined should do the job. For instance, adding an out- prefix:

bn="out-$(basename "$in")"
