Owner accepted Sassy the Sasquatch S01 v3.5 YouTube-auto-CC subs as '85 % acceptable, fine, not great' but flagged them for v4 WhisperX rebuild. Adds a single worklist file (STOPGAP-SUBS.md) so every show that ships via the v3.5 path gets logged for the eventual v4 sweep instead of being silently forgotten. Sassy run log gets a STOP-GAP banner at the top pointing to the new worklist. README.md gets a stop-gap-exception note alongside the STYLE.md hard-prereq paragraph. ROADMAP H5 now points at the worklist file as the canonical source of which shows v4 needs to regenerate.

|
||
## Coverage probe — paid + free providers
|
||
|
||
Three parallel research agents (2026-05-10) checked every realistic source
|
||
before falling back to YouTube:
|
||
|
||
| Provider | Hits |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| OpenSubtitles.com REST (`parent_imdb_id=21209936`) | 1 — `SASSY THE SASQUATCH.Web-DL.1080p.en` S01E01, **HI-flagged** |
|
||
| OpenSubtitles.org legacy XML-RPC | 0 (account login 401 anyway) |
|
||
| Addic7ed | 0 |
|
||
| SubDL | 0 (`subtitles_count: 0`) |
|
||
| SubSource (Subscene successor) | 0 |
|
||
| Podnapisi | 0 |
|
||
| OS VIP upgrade | **would not unlock anything** — VIP is download-cap relief, not coverage. Same catalog as free. |
|
||
|
||
Conclusion: nothing exists outside YouTube. Buying VIP would not help; the
|
||
honest path is auto-generated subs.
|
||
|
||
## Outcome
|
||
|
||
| Season | Eps | Subs fetched | Quality | Notes |
|
||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||
| S01 | 5 | 5 / 5 | YT auto-CC stop-gap (lowercase, no punctuation, names mangled) | Cleaned via `lib/yt-clean.py`. v4 WhisperX rebuild planned |
|
||
|
||
Net: **5 / 5 (100 %)** — but at the lowest tier of the USER-G quality bar.
|
||
|
||
## Pipeline used
|
||
|
||
1. `yt-dlp --skip-download --write-auto-subs --sub-langs en-orig` against
|
||
the official Sassy playlist (`PLGMC7oz7XpmDMGrALMQiNXCi9p7aqkWbj`) →
|
||
raw VTT per episode in `/tmp/sassy-research/`.
|
||
2. `lib/yt-clean.py` collapses the rolling-window VTT (each cue carries 2-3
|
||
stale lines plus the freshly-spoken bottom line) into deduplicated SRT.
|
||
3. SSH cat redirect each cleaned `.srt` to nullstone at
|
||
`/home/user/media/tv/Sassy the Sasquatch (2022)/Season 01/<base>.eng.srt`
|
||
with library filename.
|
||
4. Validation-only library refresh; verified all 5 eps show exactly 1
|
||
external eng sub stream.
|
||
|
||
Reusable pipeline now lives at `lib/sub-yt-fetch.sh` (wrapper) +
|
||
`lib/yt-clean.py` (cleaner). Same one-liner handles Donny & Clarence,
|
||
Mike Nolan, Big Lez Saga (all on the same channel).
|
||
|
||
## Quality known issues
|
||
|
||
- **Lowercase, no punctuation** — YT ASR output verbatim
|
||
- **Proper-noun mishears**: "Sassy" → `sasha`, "Big Lez" → `Big Less`
|
||
- **Profanity censored as `[ __ ]`** — passthrough from YT
|
||
- **Sentence segmentation absent** — cues split on word boundaries
|
||
|
||
These violate STYLE.md "best quality" and "clean" rules. Documented as
|
||
explicit stop-gap; v4 WhisperX rebuild restores quality bar.
|
||
|
||
## Mike Nolan special-case (deferred)
|
||
|
||
A YouTube upload titled "MIKE NOLAN SHOW | COMPLETE SEASON | SUBTITLES"
|
||
posted Oct 2025 carries hand-typed CC tracks. When subbing Mike Nolan,
|
||
prefer that single video (rip CC tracks) over the per-episode auto-CC
|
||
playlist path. Note added to v4 roadmap.
|
||
|
||
## Followups
|
||
|
||
- [ ] visually verify one Sassy episode plays in sync (recipe §6) — YT
|
||
auto-cap timing is usually tight but worth a sanity check
|
||
- [ ] when v4 WhisperX lands, regenerate Sassy + Donny & Clarence + Big
|
||
Lez Saga + Mike Nolan in one batch on the 4080 friend node
|
||
- [ ] for Mike Nolan, try the "COMPLETE SEASON | SUBTITLES" YT upload
