Open-source attempt to replicate Gemini-style long-form YouTube understanding: extract MP3 audio with ffmpeg, build timestamped transcripts, detect only meaningful frame changes, and feed the useful video/audio context into an LLM. I found the visual path added little value, so it effectively converged into an audio-first podcast/video understanding pipeline.
