s8n eb71cf6beb processes/subtitles: v3.5 YouTube auto-CC stop-gap + Sassy 5/5 Adds lib/sub-yt-fetch.sh (yt-dlp wrapper) and lib/yt-clean.py (collapses YouTube's rolling-window auto-caption VTT into a flat SRT). For shows distributed YouTube-first that have no community subs anywhere -- verified via three parallel research agents covering OpenSubtitles REST, OS legacy, Addic7ed, SubDL, SubSource, and Podnapisi for the 5 niche shows in the library, plus a price-vs-coverage analysis of OpenSubtitles VIP. Findings: OS VIP would not have helped on the niche shows (it is download-cap relief, not coverage unlock; same catalog as free). All 4 Jarrad Wright shows in the library (Sassy, Big Lez Saga, Donny & Clarence, Mike Nolan) live on the same channel and have only YouTube auto-CC available. v3.5 ships those, explicitly violating STYLE.md 'best quality' as a tracked stop-gap. Sassy the Sasquatch S01 5/5 episodes subbed with cleaned auto-CC. Mike Nolan special-case noted: a 'COMPLETE SEASON \| SUBTITLES' YT upload from Oct 2025 carries hand-typed CCs and should be preferred over per-episode auto-CC when subbing that show. ROADMAP H5 added: v4 WhisperX large-v3 on the friend RTX 4080 node will regenerate the v3.5 stop-gap with proper-noun-prompted transcription (~4-6%% WER vs ~12%% YT auto-CC) and restore the STYLE.md quality bar. H1 OpenSubtitles credentials marked done (was completed 2026-05-09).	2026-05-10 01:05:07 +01:00

Adds lib/sub-yt-fetch.sh (yt-dlp wrapper) and lib/yt-clean.py (collapses
YouTube's rolling-window auto-caption VTT into a flat SRT). For shows
distributed YouTube-first that have no community subs anywhere -- verified
via three parallel research agents covering OpenSubtitles REST, OS legacy,
Addic7ed, SubDL, SubSource, and Podnapisi for the 5 niche shows in the
library, plus a price-vs-coverage analysis of OpenSubtitles VIP.

Findings: OS VIP would not have helped on the niche shows (it is
download-cap relief, not coverage unlock; same catalog as free). All 4
Jarrad Wright shows in the library (Sassy, Big Lez Saga, Donny &
Clarence, Mike Nolan) live on the same channel and have only YouTube
auto-CC available. v3.5 ships those, explicitly violating STYLE.md
'best quality' as a tracked stop-gap.

processes/ — repeatable acquisition workflows

This folder holds the canonical recipes for acquiring external content for the ARRFLIX library: subtitles, artwork, metadata, episode stills, etc. Internal ops (encoding, importing, theming) stay in bin/ and docs/.

Each process is its own sub-folder with three files:

File	Purpose
`README.md`	The canonical recipe. Step-by-step, executable by Claude Code. Always reflects the latest version.
`CHANGELOG.md`	Why the recipe changed, version-by-version. One entry per breakage that forced a revision.
`runs/<show>.md`	Evidence log: what happened when this recipe was applied to a specific show.

Recipes evolve via the iteration model: apply to a show, succeed or break, amend the recipe to handle the new case + every prior case, retry. A recipe that "just works" is one that has survived every show in the library without amendment for a full sweep.

Process	Status	Last touched
