install_comfyui.sh becomes install_backend.sh and now builds everything the app
needs, not just the speech half:
- Step 7 runs normalizer/setup.sh --model, which fetches both models: the open
inflection model first, so the install gets as far as it can before anything
can ask for credentials, then the gated fine-tune.
- A missing Hugging Face account is no longer fatal. Accepting a licence is the
one thing an installer cannot do, so the rest installs, the verification
reports "fallback only (gated model missing)", and the summary prints the
three commands that finish it.
- --skip-normalizer, disk requirement 35 -> 55 GB, removal instructions and the
step list updated to match.
Queue logging — queue.log in the first queued video's job folder, which for a
single-video run is its own:
- Records what went wrong rather than what happened: warnings, tracebacks,
ffmpeg errors, guard rejections, clips cut off mid-word or that crashed the
backend, and the --regen line carrying their numbers.
- ComfyUI failures *and* restarts, so the log shows the recovery rather than
reading as though the run simply stopped. GUI-initiated backend actions go in
too; they never pass through a job's pipe.
- A failure also dumps the job's last 15 lines. Keyword matching alone is not
enough — ffmpeg says "Invalid data found when processing input" and nothing
that looks like an error.
UI:
- The output pane follows new output only while already at the bottom. Scroll up
and it stays there; scroll back down and it resumes. Reading an earlier
warning during a run was impossible while every ffmpeg progress frame yanked
the view to the end.
- The ComfyUI button's status dot is drawn as its own canvas item, so it can be
green (answering) or amber (holds the port, does not answer). A "." inside the
label could only ever be the same grey as the words.
comfyui.log is capped at 120,000 lines, trimmed on backend start and every five
minutes. Rewritten in place, never replaced: tee holds it open in append mode,
so swapping the inode would leave the backend writing to an unlinked file.

Converts SRT subtitles into a Polish lektor-style voiceover using a local
ComfyUI instance running Higgs Audio V3, then muxes the result back into the
source video as a second audio track. Video and original audio are always
stream-copied; only the new voiceover track is encoded.
Contents:
lektor_ai_comfy.py main pipeline (standard library only, needs ffmpeg)
lektor_ai_comfy_v2.py batched-context experiment (timing unresolved)
lektor_ai.py earlier version using the hosted Boson AI API
install_comfyui.sh reproduces the ComfyUI environment, versions pinned
docs/ requirements, installation, usage, architecture,
troubleshooting
gudowski/ voice references (.wav) with their transcripts (.txt)
Source media and generated video are gitignored.
