This pull request fixes transcript handling issues in the youtube-trend-analysis project.

Changes include:

  • Ensures the transcripts directory is created automatically if missing
  • Writes transcript files using UTF-8 encoding to prevent decoding issues
  • Fixes error when formatted_transcript is missing by skipping and removing invalid entries
  • Hides videos that failed transcript extraction from the display
  • Adds stdout validation in get_output() to avoid parsing empty responses
  • Updates config.yaml to switch from file_contents to file_paths as task input

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added automatic extraction and processing of YouTube video transcripts, with error handling for malformed transcripts.
    • Only valid transcripts are included in the analysis, improving result accuracy.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of subprocess output to prevent errors when output is empty or improperly encoded.
  • Documentation

    • Updated configuration text to clarify that transcript analysis is now based on file contents rather than file paths.

Walkthrough

The changes update the YouTube trend analysis workflow to process and validate video transcripts after scraping, saving valid transcripts as text files and excluding erroneous ones. The analysis now uses merged transcript contents instead of file paths. Additional improvements include UTF-8 decoding for subprocess output and updated configuration text to reflect the new content-based processing.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Change Summary
Transcript Processing & Analysis Workflow
Youtube-trend-analysis/app.py
Adds transcript extraction, validation, and error handling post-scraping; saves transcripts as files, merges contents for analysis, and updates display logic.
Subprocess Output Handling
Youtube-trend-analysis/brightdata_scrapper.py
Specifies UTF-8 encoding for subprocess output and ensures non-empty output before parsing, improving robustness.
Configuration Update
Youtube-trend-analysis/config.yaml
Updates analysis instructions to reference transcript contents instead of file paths, aligning with new processing logic.

Poem

In burrows deep, transcripts now bloom,
Sorted and checked in each little room.
UTF-8 whispers, no errors allowed,
Only the best bunnies make it to the crowd.
With merged tales in paw, we analyze anew—
Hopping ahead, our insights grew!

5-5: Remove trailing spaces for consistency.

The configuration changes correctly update the parameter references from {file_paths} to {file_contents}, which aligns with the implementation. However, there are trailing spaces on these lines that should be removed.

Apply this diff to remove trailing spaces:

-      Analyze the transcripts of several videos using {file_contents}. 
+      Analyze the transcripts of several videos using {file_contents}.
-      Conduct a fine-grained analysis of the transcripts of several videos using {file_contents}.

136-136: Remove redundant directory creation.

The transcripts directory is already created at line 21. This redundant creation inside the loop is unnecessary.

108-110: Good improvements for robustness!

The addition of UTF-8 encoding and stdout validation effectively addresses potential decoding issues and prevents errors when parsing empty responses. These changes align well with the PR objectives.

Youtube-trend-analysis/app.py (2)

204-211: Well-implemented file content merging!

The implementation correctly reads all transcript files and merges their contents into a single string, which aligns perfectly with the configuration changes. The UTF-8 encoding ensures proper handling of special characters.


129-166: Excellent transcript processing implementation!

The transcript processing logic effectively handles both structured (list) and unstructured transcript formats. The cleanup of erroneous transcript files and tracking of error indices ensures data integrity for downstream analysis.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Add error handling for file operations.

The file writing operations should include error handling to gracefully handle potential issues like permission errors or encoding problems.

Wrap the file operations in a try-except block:

-                with open(file, "w", encoding="utf-8") as f:
-                    transcript = channel_scrapped_output[0][i].get(
-                        "formatted_transcript", []
-                    )
-                    if isinstance(transcript, list):
-                        for entry in transcript:
-                            text = entry.get("text", "")
-                            start = entry.get("start_time", 0.0)
-                            end = entry.get("end_time", 0.0)
-                            line = f"({start:.2f}-{end:.2f}): {text}\n"
-                            f.write(line)
-                    else:
-                        f.write(str(transcript))
-                        error_files.append(i)
-                        del st.session_state.all_files[-1]

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In Youtube-trend-analysis/app.py around lines 141 to 155, the file writing
operations lack error handling, which can cause the program to crash on issues
like permission errors or encoding problems. Wrap the entire file open and write
block in a try-except statement to catch exceptions such as IOError or OSError.
In the except block, log or handle the error appropriately to ensure the program
continues running gracefully without abrupt termination.
