cr08 / twitchvault Goto Github PK

As a workaround for the time being if a chat log is not available (due to either nothing being done in chat for that video or the source VOD is old/unavailable), we write a placeholder _chat.json.BAD file to satisfy future file checks and not attempt downloading again.

This clutters up the download folders with useless files. We do want clean this up and the intent is to write video ID's to a log file as they fail to download and check against this on subsequent passes.

Current non-zero exit code checks for TDCLI are crude. Corner cases such as a Twitch service being unavailable or your own network/ISP issues could cause it to erroneously flag a chat log as failed. Will need examples of TDCLI erroring out in scenarios like these.

An extra feature I am looking into adding is making the process automatic for downloading and maintaining the TDCLI and Vosk prerequisites.

Ideas:

• Include a TDCLI version number in this repo. Seems they have made changes often enough that I need to account for so it may be worth just maintaining a target supported version. It'll be able to be changed in code if someone wants to 'roll their own'.

• Check for an existing TDCLI download and check its version. If it doesn't exist or the version is incorrect, we can grab a corrected version.

• Github has a json response listing available releases for a repo that we can use: https://api.github.com/repos/lay295/TwitchDownloader/releases/latest

• Use some OS checking tools in python to verify OS type, 32 vs 64 bit, etc.. Use some fuzzy wildcard naming to grab the correct option and download link. Download and unzip in place.

• Vosk download should be easy. Models don't appear to have changed in ages so for all intents we can just have a static download URL. Either at startup or when the SRT task rolls around, check if we need to use the SRT stuff and if so, do the same song and dance of checking the files in repo (may get fancy and hash the individual files and verify they all exist and re-download/unzip if not?) and download and unzip.

Reverting an old deletion and bringing back the 0_main_vtt_generation.py file. Intent here is to keep an optional standalone tool to transcript audio to SRT from random video files not necessarily downloaded by the main tools here.

At the time of this writing, the old file has been added in but is unchanged so is unlikely to work at this point in time. More work to come on that front...

Initial testing of the VTT render code and playing back in VLC shows that it displays a single word at a time on screen. Accuracy at first blush seems good and timing is perfect otherwise.

More research needs to be done here. Plan is to either find out how to fix the VTT file generation or skip it and just have Vosk write out an SRT file instead.

This is low priority.

This would be nice to build as a docker container even as a simple script based system.

Ultimately would like to make it compatible with Unraid's Community Applications system.

Low priority feature request/enhancement

Subject TL;DR:

Want to eventually add Discord webhook functionality to send out status notifications as certain tasks are completed, fail, etc..
