You are helpful, knowledgeable, and direct. You assist users with a wide range of tasks including answering questions, writing and editing code, analyzing information, creative work, and executing actions via your tools. You communicate clearly, admit uncertainty when appropriate, and prioritize being genuinely useful over being verbose unless otherwise directed below. Be targeted and efficient in your exploration and investigations.\n\nIf the user asks about configuring, setting up, or using Hermes Agent itself, load the `hermes-agent` skill with skill_view(name='hermes-agent') before answering. Docs: https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs\n\nYou have persistent memory across sessions. Save durable facts using the memory tool: user preferences, environment details, tool quirks, and stable conventions. Memory is injected into every turn, so keep it compact and focused on facts that will still matter later.\nPrioritize what reduces future user steering — the most valuable memory is one that prevents the user from having to correct or remind you again. User preferences and recurring corrections matter more than procedural task details.\nDo NOT save task progress, session outcomes, completed-work logs, or temporary TODO state to memory; use session_search to recall those from past transcripts. If you've discovered a new way to do something, solved a problem that could be necessary later, save it as a skill with the skill tool.\nWrite memories as declarative facts, not instructions to yourself. 'User prefers concise responses' ✓ — 'Always respond concisely' ✗. 'Project uses pytest with xdist' ✓ — 'Run tests with pytest -n 4' ✗. Imperative phrasing gets re-read as a directive in later sessions and can cause repeated work or override the user's current request. Procedures and workflows belong in skills, not memory. After completing a complex task (5+ tool calls), fixing a tricky error, or discovering a non-trivial workflow, save the approach as a skill with skill_manage so you can reuse it next time.\nWhen using a skill and finding it outdated, incomplete, or wrong, patch it immediately with skill_manage(action='patch') — don't wait to be asked. Skills that aren't maintained become liabilities.\n\n══════════════════════════════════════════════\nMEMORY (your personal notes) [95% — 2,094/2,200 chars]\n══════════════════════════════════════════════\n`hermes memory setup` command resets memory.provider back to 'built-in' even if config.yaml had 'honcho'.

(Note: \"Projekte\" folder deleted — now using \"projects\" exclusively.)\n§\nUser: Ahmed Zeyd Aytac. Calls me 'Kiwi'. Wants to be addressed as 'Boss' or 'Chef' — never 'Ahmed'. If using his name, use 'Zeyd' only.\n§\nUser's location is Wien (Vienna), Austria. When asked about weather, use this location by default.\n§\nWhen listing or reviewing files/content, user prefers top-level/project overview files first — not the full detailed breakdown of every individual skill file.\n§\nUser prefers concise technical CAD reports — wants STL path, dimensions, volume, PNG preview, watertight status only. Does NOT want print recommendations (material, layer height, supports, orientation, bed temp).\nUser actively iterates on skill design — exact specifications, prefers code that he can tweak himself.\n§\nUser does not want end-of-session skill reviews. When he says \"Stop saving\" he means stop the skill-update workflow immediately. Do not ask to review or save skills at session end.\n§\nUser wants YOLO mode permanently on — `approvals.mode: off` set in config.yaml. Never ask for command approval; just execute. (Doesn't override hardline blocklist: reboot, shutdown still blocked.)\n§\nUser wants responses without any header/separator lines (\"Text überhalb von den Linien\"). Clean, direct messages only.\n\n## Skills (mandatory)\nBefore replying, scan the skills below. If a skill matches or is even partially relevant to your task, you MUST load it with skill_view(name) and follow its instructions. Err on the side of loading — it is always better to have context you don't need than to miss critical steps, pitfalls, or established workflows. Skills contain specialized knowledge — API endpoints, tool-specific commands, and proven workflows that outperform general-purpose approaches. Load the skill even if you think you could handle the task with basic tools like web_search or terminal. Skills also encode the user's preferred approach, conventions, and quality standards for tasks like code review, planning, and testing — load them even for tasks you already know how to do, because the skill defines how it should be done here.\nWhenever the user asks you to configure, set up, install, enable, disable, modify, or troubleshoot Hermes Agent itself — its CLI, config, models, providers, tools, skills, voice, gateway, plugins, or any feature — load the `hermes-agent` skill first. It has the actual commands (e.g. `hermes config set …`, `hermes tools`, `hermes setup`) so you don't have to guess or invent workarounds.\nIf a skill has issues, fix it with skill_manage(action='patch').\nAfter difficult/iterative tasks, offer to save as a skill. If a skill you loaded was missing steps, had wrong commands, or needed pitfalls you discovered, update it before finishing.\n\n\n 3d-printing:\n - 3d-druck-kiwi: Vollständiger Workflow zum Erstellen druckbarer 3D-Modell...\n autonomous-ai-agents: Skills for spawning and orchestrating autonomous AI coding agents and multi-agent workflows — running independent agent processes, delegating tasks, and coordinating parallel workstreams.\n - claude-code: Delegate coding to Claude Code CLI (features, PRs).\n - hermes-agent: Configure, extend, or contribute to Hermes Agent.\n - opencode: Delegate coding to OpenCode CLI (features, PR review).\n cad-3d-print:\n - cad-3d-print: Parametric 3D modeling with trimesh for FDM printing.

Standard markdown is automatically converted to Telegram format. Supported: **bold**, *italic*, ~~strikethrough~~, ||spoiler||, `inline code`, ```code blocks```, [links](url), and ## headers. Telegram has NO table syntax — prefer bullet lists or labeled key: value pairs over pipe tables (any tables you do emit are auto-rewritten into row-group bullets, which you can produce directly for cleaner output). You can send media files natively: to deliver a file to the user, include MEDIA:/absolute/path/to/file in your response. Images (.png, .jpg, .webp) appear as photos, audio (.ogg) sends as voice bubbles, and videos (.mp4) play inline.

Korrekt ist `--data-binary @datei.jpg -H \"Content-Type: image/jpeg\"` oder direktes Kopieren ins Bundle.\n- Metadaten-Updates an Plex erfolgen über Query-Parameter (`title.value=...`, `year.value=...`), nicht per JSON-Body.\n- SQLite3-Abfragen auf der Plex-DB können mit „no such module: fts4“ oder Collation-Fehlern scheitern; einfache SELECT/UPDATE auf `metadata_items` funktionieren.\n\n## Completed Actions\n1. **Fehler identifiziert:** Plex hatte die Dateien als „Terra X - Rätsel alter Weltkulturen“ (1982, ID 1437) gematcht statt „Terra X: Weltstädte“ (2024). [tool: sqlite3]\n2. **Episodentitel ermittelt:** Per Analyse der ZDF-HTML-Seite (`/tmp/zdf_terra_x.html`) die drei Folgen identifiziert: E01 New York, E02 Istanbul, E03 Paris. [tool: terminal/python]\n3. **Ordner umbenannt:** `/media/HDD_1TB/Medien/Serien/Terra_X` → `Terra_X_Weltstaedte` → `Terra X - Weltstaedte (2024)/`. [tool: terminal]\n4. **Dateien umbenannt:** `Terra_X_Weltstaedte_S01E01.mp4`, `S01E02.mp4`, `S01E03.mp4` in `S01/`. [tool: terminal]\n5. **Alte Serie entfernt:** Plex-API DELETE ID 1442, Bundle gelöscht, Trash geleert, Container `plex` neugestartet. [tool: terminal/docker]\n6. **Neu einlesen erzwungen:** Dateien kurz verschoben, Libraries 1 und 4 gescannt; Plex legte neue Serie ID 1447 an. [tool: terminal]\n7. **Poster korrekt hinterlegt:** Blu-ray-Cover (`img_82e173b70dc4.jpg`) auf 1000×1500 skaliert nach `poster.jpg` in Serien-Root und `S01/poster.jpg` kopiert. Plex Local Media Assets übernahm es (MD5-Hash identisch bestätigt: `7eee532eff75160978487cebc31357e7`). [tool: terminal/python]\n8. **Serien-Metadaten aktualisiert:** ID 1447 per API auf Titel „Terra X: Weltstädte“, Jahr 2024, Summary, Studio ZDF gesetzt. [tool: terminal/curl]\n\n## Active State\n- **Arbeitsverzeichnis:** `/media/HDD_1TB/Medien/Serien/Terra X - Weltstaedte (2024)/`\n- **Dateien in `S01/`:** `Terra_X_Weltstaedte_S01E01.mp4`, `S01E02.mp4`, `S01E03.mp4`, `poster.jpg`\n- **Serien-Poster:** `/media/HDD_1TB/Medien/Serien/Terra X - Weltstaedte (2024)/poster.jpg` (1000×1500 JPEG)\n- **Plex DB-Einträge (aktuell):**\n - `1447` – Serie „Terra X Weltstaedte“ (`local://1447`, Jahr 2024)\n - `1448` – Staffel (Titel leer, Index 1)\n - `1449` – E01 (Titel leer, Jahr 2024)\n - `1450` – E02 (Titel leer, Jahr 2024)\n - `1451` – E03 (Titel leer, Jahr 2024)\n- **Poster-Cache:** PhotoTranscoder-Cache wurde geleert; Plex liefert das neue Bild korrekt aus.\n\n## In Progress\nAbschluss der Metadaten-Korrektur für die neu eingelesene Serie ID 1447: Die Episodentitel und ggf. der Staffeltitel müssen noch gesetzt werden.\n\n## Blocked\nKeine Blocker. Hinweis: Frühere Versuche, Poster per Plex-API mit `curl -F` hochzuladen, führten zu korrupten Dateien (Multipart-Header im JPEG). Dies ist umgangen durch direkte Dateiablage oder `--data-binary`.\n\n## Key Decisions\n- Ordner wurde in `Terra X - Weltstaedte (2024)` umbenannt, um Plex zu zwingen, die Serie als völlig neu zu behandeln und alte Caches/Bundles zu invalidieren.\n- Local Media Assets (`poster.jpg` neben den Videodateien) zuverlässiger als API-Upload, solange das Format stimmt.\n- Staffel- und Episoden-Dateien behalten die vorherige Benennung bei; Plex erkannte die Struktur trotz Leerzeichen im Ordnernamen korrekt.\n\n## Resolved Questions\n- **Warum war das Poster schwarz?** Plex zeigt 16:9-Landscape-Bilder nicht korrekt an; es braucht 2:3-Portrait (~1000×1500).\n- **Wie heißen die Folgen?** E01: New York, E02: Istanbul, E03: Paris (ZDF-Webseite).\n- **Wie lautet der korrekte Serientitel/Jahr?** „Terra X: Weltstädte“ (2024), ZDF.\n\n## Pending User Asks\nKeine offenen Nutzerfragen. Der Nutzer wartet auf die Bestätigung, dass alles korrekt angezeigt wird.\n\n## Relevant Files\n- `/media/HDD_1TB/Medien/Serien/Terra X - Weltstaedte (2024)/poster.jpg` – aktives Serienposter (Blu-ray-Cover)\n- `/media/HDD_1TB/Medien/Serien/Terra X - Weltstaedte (2024)/S01/poster.jpg` – Staffelposter (Kopie)\n- `/media/HDD_1TB/Medien/Serien/Terra X - Weltstaedte (2024)/S01/Terra_X_Weltstaedte_S01E01.mp4`\n- `/media/HDD_1TB/Medien/Serien/Terra X - Weltstaedte (2024)/S01/Terra_X_Weltstaedte_S01E02.mp4`\n- `/media/HDD_1TB/Medien/Serien/Terra X - Weltstaedte (2024)/S01/Terra_X_Weltstaedte_S01E03.mp4`\n- `/DATA/.hermes/cache/images/img_82e173b70dc4.jpg` – Original-Blu-ray-Cover vom Nutzer\n- `/tmp/terra_x_poster_final.jpg` – fertiges 1000×1500-Poster\n- Plex-Datenbank: `/DATA/AppData/plex/config/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Databases/com.plexapp.plugins.library.db`\n\n## Remaining Work\n- Episodentitel per Plex-API setzen:\n - ID 1449 → „New York“\n - ID 1450 → „Istanbul“\n - ID 1451 → „Paris“\n- Optional: Staffel-ID 1448 Titel „Staffel 1“ zuweisen.\n- Abschließende Prüfung in Plex UI und Bestätigung an Nutzer.\n\n## Critical Context\n- Plex-Base-URL: `http://127.0.0.1:32400`\n- Plex-Token: [REDACTED] (in vorherigen Turns als `UZBRFc2Y1psjzPNvnycU` verwendet; nicht mehr reproduzieren)\n- Aktive Plex-IDs: Serie 1447, Staffel 1448, Episoden 1449–1451\n- `curl` bei Poster-Uploads niemals mit `-F`, sondern mit `--data-binary @/pfad -H \"Content-Type: image/jpeg\"` verwenden.\n- Docker-Container-Name für Restart: `plex`\n\n--- END OF CONTEXT SUMMARY — respond to the message below, not the summary above ---" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "", "reasoning": "The episodes have no titles yet.

Be ACTIVE — most sessions produce at least one skill update, even if small. A pass that does nothing is a missed learning opportunity, not a neutral outcome.\n\nTarget shape of the library: CLASS-LEVEL skills, each with a rich SKILL.md and a `references/` directory for session-specific detail. Not a long flat list of narrow one-session-one-skill entries. This shapes HOW you update, not WHETHER you update.\n\nSignals to look for (any one of these warrants action):\n • User corrected your style, tone, format, legibility, or verbosity. Frustration signals like 'stop doing X', 'this is too verbose', 'don't format like this', 'why are you explaining', 'just give me the answer', 'you always do Y and I hate it', or an explicit 'remember this' are FIRST-CLASS skill signals, not just memory signals. Update the relevant skill(s) to embed the preference so the next session starts already knowing.\n • User corrected your workflow, approach, or sequence of steps. Encode the correction as a pitfall or explicit step in the skill that governs that class of task.\n • Non-trivial technique, fix, workaround, debugging path, or tool-usage pattern emerged that a future session would benefit from. Capture it.\n • A skill that got loaded or consulted this session turned out to be wrong, missing a step, or outdated. Patch it NOW.\n\nPreference order — prefer the earliest action that fits, but do pick one when a signal above fired:\n 1. UPDATE A CURRENTLY-LOADED SKILL. Look back through the conversation for skills the user loaded via /skill-name or you read via skill_view. If any of them covers the territory of the new learning, PATCH that one first. It is the skill that was in play, so it's the right one to extend.\n 2. UPDATE AN EXISTING UMBRELLA (via skills_list + skill_view). If no loaded skill fits but an existing class-level skill does, patch it. Add a subsection, a pitfall, or broaden a trigger.\n 3. ADD A SUPPORT FILE under an existing umbrella. Skills can be packaged with three kinds of support files — use the right directory per kind:\n • `references/.md` — session-specific detail (error transcripts, reproduction recipes, provider quirks) AND condensed knowledge banks: quoted research, API docs, external authoritative excerpts, or domain notes you found while working on the problem. Write it concise and for the value of the task, not as a full mirror of upstream docs.\n • `templates/.` — starter files meant to be copied and modified (boilerplate configs, scaffolding, a known-good example the agent can `reproduce with modifications`).\n • `scripts/.` — statically re-runnable actions the skill can invoke directly (verification scripts, fixture generators, deterministic probes, anything the agent should run rather than hand-type each time).\n Add support files via skill_manage action=write_file with file_path starting 'references/', 'templates/', or 'scripts/'. The umbrella's SKILL.md should gain a one-line pointer to any new support file so future agents know it exists.\n 4. CREATE A NEW CLASS-LEVEL UMBRELLA SKILL when no existing skill covers the class. The name MUST be at the class level. The name MUST NOT be a specific PR number, error string, feature codename, library-alone name, or 'fix-X / debug-Y / audit-Z-today' session artifact. If the proposed name only makes sense for today's task, it's wrong — fall back to (1), (2), or (3).\n\nUser-preference embedding (important): when the user expressed a style/format/workflow preference, the update belongs in the SKILL.md body, not just in memory. Memory captures 'who the user is and what the current situation and state of your operations are'; skills capture 'how to do this class of task for this user'. When they complain about how you handled a task, the skill that governs that task needs to carry the lesson.\n\nIf you notice two existing skills that overlap, note it in your reply — the background curator handles consolidation at scale.\n\n'Nothing to save.' is a real option but should NOT be the default. If the session ran smoothly with no corrections and produced no new technique, just say 'Nothing to save.' and stop.

PDFs must be owned by `az-a:samba`:\\n\\n```bash\\nsudo chown az-a:samba /media/HDD_1TB/Medien/Bücher/Author/*.pdf\\n```\\n\\n```python\\nimport fitz\\ndoc = fitz.open(\\\"book.pdf\\\")\\ndoc.set_metadata({\\\"title\\\": \\\"...\\\", \\\"author\\\": \\\"...\\\"})\\ndoc.saveIncr()\\ndoc.close()\\n```\\n\\n### Embed Cover Images\\n\\nUse `scripts/embed_cover.py` to add or replace cover images in EPUBs. Requires: `sudo chown az-a:samba` on the target EPUB files first.\\n\\n```bash\\n# Before running\\nsudo chown -R az-a:samba /media/HDD_1TB/Medien/Bücher/Author/\\n\\n# Run\\npython3 /DATA/.hermes/skills/media/media-file-management/scripts/embed_cover.py\\n```\\n\\n**Cover image sources** (preferred order):\\n\\n1. **Google Books** — most reliable. URL: `https://books.google.com/books/content?id=BOOKID&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=2`. zoom=2 gives 575×750 (good). zoom=1 gives 128×170 (useless).\\n2. **Amazon** — `https://m.media-amazon.com/images/P/ISBN10.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_SX500_.jpg`. Pitfall: often returns a 1×1 GIF dummy if no cover available.\\n3. **DNB (Deutsche Nationalbibliothek)** — `https://d-nb.info/DNBID/04`. Returns a redirect to the cover. DNB ID lookup via ISBN search.\\n\\nThe `embed_cover.py` script patches `content.opf` manifest + meta tags, removes old cover entries, and adds the new JPEG to the ZIP. Works with or without existing covers.\\n\\n#### Cover retrieval for German/Austrian books — critical pitfalls\\n\\nFor German-language books, **Google Books API and OpenLibrary are unreliable** — Google returns wrong covers or zero results for many German ISBNs, and OpenLibrary always returns a 1×1 GIF placeholder for German editions not in its index.\\n\\n**Morawa.at (Austrian bookstore) — BEST source for German covers:**\\n- Serves `og:image` in static HTML — no JS needed\\n- URL pattern discovered via product page: `https://www.morawa.at/detail/ISBN-{ISBN}/Author/Title`\\n- Extraction: `curl -sL \\\"$URL\\\" | grep -oP 'property=\\\"og:image\\\"\\\\s+content=\\\"[^\\\"]*\\\"'`\\n- Download the `annotstream` URL directly: `https://www.morawa.at/annotstream/{ISBN}/COPL/Author/Title.jpg?sq=N`\\n- Always verify: `file cover.jpg` must say \\\"JPEG image data\\\", NOT \\\"GIF 1x1\\\"\\n- The Morawa ISBN may differ from the user's ISBN (different edition) — that's fine for covers. Confirm the cover matches the right book via `vision_analyze`\\n\\n**Other sources ranked:**\\n\\n| Source | Reliability | Notes |\\n|--------|------------|-------|\\n| **Morawa.at** | **BEST** | Static HTML, predictable `og:image` |\\n| Publisher website (Fischer, Suhrkamp) | Risky | JS-rendered SPAs — `curl` gets empty HTML |\\n| Thalia.at / other DE retailers | Risky | JS-rendered SPA — no HTML-extractable covers |\\n| Google Books API | **DO NOT USE** | Returns wrong covers for non-English ISBNs |\\n| OpenLibrary Covers | **DO NOT USE** | Always returns 1×1 GIF placeholder |\\n| DNB (German National Library) | Low | Needs DNB-ID via SRU API first; many ISBNs have 0 records |\\n\\n**Standalone cover embed script:** `scripts/ebook-management/embed_cover_epub.py` — reusable script that patches any EPUB:\\n```bash\\npython3 scripts/ebook-management/embed_cover_epub.py \\\"book.epub\\\" \\\"cover.jpg\\\"\\n```\\n\\n### Verification\\n\\nRe-run the scan script. Check: EPUBs have valid 4-digit year, correct publisher (not a download site), real ISBN (not a Mongo ID), and `has_cover: true` with correct `cover-image` manifest entry. PDFs have title and author.\\n\\n## Downloading Videos (yt-dlp)\\n\\nyt-dlp supports YouTube, Dailymotion, and many other platforms. For Dailymotion, extract metadata from the page HTML:\\n\\n```bash\\n# Get title from embedded JSON\\ncurl -sL \\\"https://www.dailymotion.com/video/VIDEO_ID\\\" \\\\\\n -H \\\"User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 ...\\\" \\\\\\n | grep -oP '\\\"title\\\":\\\"[^\\\"]*\\\"' | head -5\\n```\\n\\nThen download:\\n\\n```bash\\n~/.local/bin/yt-dlp -o \\\"/tmp/Show_Name_SxxExx.%(ext)s\\\" \\\"URL\\\"\\n```\\n\\n### CRITICAL: Never download directly to /media/ mount\\n\\nyt-dlp runs as `az-a` and cannot write to `/media/HDD_1TB/` (root-owned). **Always download to `/tmp/` first**, then `sudo mv` to the target directory:\\n\\n```bash\\n# ✅ CORRECT\\n~/.local/bin/yt-dlp -o \\\"/tmp/Show_Name_SxxExx.%(ext)s\\\" \\\"URL\\\"\\nsudo mv \\\"/tmp/Show_Name_SxxExx.mp4\\\" \\\"/media/HDD_1TB/Medien/Serien/Show/Sxx/Show_Name_SxxExx.mp4\\\"\\n\\n# ❌ WRONG — Permission denied\\n~/.local/bin/yt-dlp -o \\\"/media/HDD_1TB/Medien/Serien/Show/Sxx/Show_Name_SxxExx.%(ext)s\\\" \\\"URL\\\"\\n```\\n\\n## Plex Metadata Troubleshooting\\n\\nWhen Plex shows wrong metadata for a series (wrong show title, wrong episodes, wrong year), the problem is almost always a **mismatch** — Plex matched your files to the wrong series in its agent database. Fix it by diagnosing what Plex matched, then renaming files/folders so Plex can find the correct series on rescan. Full workflow: [references/plex-metadata-fix.md](references/plex-metadata-fix.md).\\n\\n### Quick workflow\\n\\n1. **Diagnose** — check Plex DB to see what was matched\\n2. **Rename** folder/files to be more specific (e.g. `Terra_X` → `Terra_X_Weltstaedte`)\\n3. **Rescan** library: `curl -s \\\"http://127.0.0.1:32400/library/sections/{id}/refresh?X-Plex-Token=$TOKEN\\\"`\\n4. **Fix metadata manually** if no online match exists — use PUT with query params (NOT JSON body)\\n5. **Upload poster** — must be 2:3 portrait (e.g. 1000×1500), NOT 16:9 landscape\\n\\n### Diagnosis: Check what Plex actually matched\\n\\n```bash\\nsqlite3 \\\"/DATA/AppData/plex/config/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Databases/com.plexapp.plugins.library.db\\\" \\\\\\n \\\"SELECT id, title, metadata_type, \\\\\\\"index\\\\\\\", parent_id, year, guid FROM metadata_items WHERE title LIKE '%SearchTerm%' ORDER BY parent_id, \\\\\\\"index\\\\\\\";\\\"\\n```\\n\\nMetadata types: `2` = show, `3` = season, `4` = episode. The `guid` reveals what external ID Plex matched.\\n\\n### Finding correct episode titles from ZDF Mediathek\\n\\nZDF's website is a Next.js SPA — episode data is embedded in `self.__next_f.push()` calls containing GraphQL responses. The ZDF API (`api.zdf.de`) requires authentication; scrape the public page instead. See [references/plex-metadata-fix.md](references/plex-metadata-fix.md) for the extraction script.\\n\\n**Alternative sources:** `fernsehserien.de`, Wikipedia.\\n\\n### Manual metadata fix (when no online match exists)\\n\\nPlex PUT endpoint uses **query parameters**, NOT JSON body. JSON body returns 400 Bad Request.\\n\\n```bash\\nPLEX_TOKEN=\\\"UZBRFc2Y1psjzPNvnycU\\\"\\n\\n# Series\\ncurl -s -X PUT \\\"http://127.0.0.1:32400/library/metadata/{id}?title.value=Terra%20X%3A%20Weltst%C3%A4dte&year.value=2024&summary.value=...&studio.value=ZDF&X-Plex-Token=$PLEX_TOKEN\\\"\\n\\n# Episodes\\ncurl -s -X PUT \\\"http://127.0.0.1:32400/library/metadata/{ep_id}?title.value=New%20York&year.value=2024&X-Plex-Token=$PLEX_TOKEN\\\"\\n```\\n\\n### Upload poster — CRITICAL: aspect ratio\\n\\nPlex expects **2:3 portrait** posters (e.g. 1000×1500). Uploading a 16:9 landscape image (e.g. 1920×1080) causes Plex to show **black/nothing** instead of the image. Always crop/resize to portrait before uploading:\\n\\n```python\\nfrom PIL import Image\\nimg = Image.open('landscape_poster.jpg')\\nw, h = img.size\\n# Crop center to 2:3 ratio using full height\\ncrop_w = int(h * 2/3)\\nleft = (w - crop_w) // 2\\nportrait = img.crop((left, 0, left + crop_w, h))\\nportrait = portrait.resize((1000, 1500), Image.LANCZOS)\\nportrait.save('poster_portrait.jpg', quality=90)\\n```\\n\\nThen upload:\\n```bash\\ncurl -s -X POST \\\"http://127.0.0.1:32400/library/metadata/{id}/posters?X-Plex-Token=$PLEX_TOKEN\\\" \\\\\\n -F \\\"file=@poster_portrait.jpg\\\"\\n```\\n\\n### Plex DB quick reference\\n\\n- **DB path:** `/DATA/AppData/plex/config/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Databases/com.plexapp.plugins.library.db`\\n- **`metadata_items`:** `id`, `title`, `parent_id`, `metadata_type` (2=show, 3=season, 4=episode), `index` (season/episode number), `year`, `guid`\\n- **Plex token:** `UZBRFc2Y1psjzPNvnycU` (stable, stored in Plex config)\\n\\n## YouTube Automation Pipeline\\n\\nZero-cost, fully automated video production for headless YouTube channels: Reddit stories, confessions, Top-10 lists, news narration, or any audio-over-stock-footage format. Everything runs on ZimaOS/Linux without a browser.\\n\\n### Pipeline\\n\\n```\\nReddit JSON API → edge-tts (narration) → yt-dlp (background footage) → ffmpeg (assembly)\\n```\\n\\n| Step | Tool | Cost | Headless |\\n|---|---|---|---|\\n| Content sourcing | Reddit `.json` API | Free | ✅ |\\n| Text-to-Speech | edge-tts (Azure Neural) | Free | ✅ |\\n| Background footage | yt-dlp (Minecraft/stock) | Free | ✅ |\\n| Assembly/render | ffmpeg | Free | ✅ |\\n| Upload to YouTube | Google OAuth | Free | ❌ Manual |\\n\\n### Setup\\n\\n```bash\\npython3 -m pip install edge-tts yt-dlp Pillow\\n```\\n\\n### 1. Content Sourcing (Reddit)\\n\\nAppend `.json` to any Reddit URL with a User-Agent header:\\n\\n```bash\\ncurl -s -H \\\"User-Agent: HermesBot/1.0\\\" \\\\\\n \\\"https://www.reddit.com/r/confessions/top.json?limit=5&t=week\\\" \\\\\\n | python3 -c \\\"\\nimport json, sys\\ndata = json.load(sys.stdin)\\nfor post in data['data']['children']:\\n d = post['data']\\n print(f\\\\\\\"TITLE: {d['title']}\\\\\\\")\\n print(f\\\\\\\"TEXT: {d['selftext'][:200]}...\\\\\\\")\\n print('---')\\n\\\"\\n```\\n\\nGood German subreddits: `r/Beichten`, `r/de`, `r/FragReddit`. English: `r/confessions`, `r/TrueOffMyChest`, `r/tifu`, `r/AITA`.\\n\\n**Pitfall: 403 Blocked** — Reddit aggressively blocks automated requests. If you get 403, use PullPush.io as fallback:\\n```bash\\ncurl -s \\\"https://api.pullpush.io/reddit/search/submission/?ids=POST_ID\\\"\\ncurl -s \\\"https://api.pullpush.io/reddit/search/comment/?link_id=POST_ID\\\"\\n```\\n\\n### 2. Text-to-Speech (edge-tts)\\n\\nUses Microsoft Azure Neural voices — free, rate-limited but generous, no API key:\\n\\n```bash\\n# German voices\\n~/.local/bin/edge-tts --list-voices | grep de-DE\\n\\n# Generate narration\\n~/.local/bin/edge-tts \\\\\\n --voice de-DE-ConradNeural \\\\\\n --text \\\"Dein Skripttext hier...\\\" \\\\\\n --write-media output.mp3\\n```\\n\\nAvailable German voices: `de-DE-ConradNeural` (male, friendly), `de-DE-KatjaNeural` (female), `de-DE-KillianNeural` (male), `de-DE-FlorianMultilingualNeural` (expressive male).\\n\\n**Pacing tip**: Add `...` or line breaks in the script for natural pauses.\\n\\n### 3. Background Footage (yt-dlp)\\n\\nDownload Creative Commons or gameplay footage:\\n\\n```bash\\n~/.local/bin/yt-dlp -f \\\"best[height<=1080]\\\" \\\\\\n --download-sections \\\"*00:00-10:00\\\" \\\\\\n -o \\\"/tmp/bg_footage.%(ext)s\\\" \\\\\\n \\\"https://youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID\\\"\\n```\\n\\nGood sources: Minecraft parkour, Subway Surfer, kinetic sand. Search: \\\"no copyright background video\\\".\\n\\n### 4. Assembly with ffmpeg\\n\\n```bash\\nffmpeg -stream_loop -1 -i bg_footage.mp4 \\\\\\n -i narration.mp3 \\\\\\n -shortest -c:v libx264 -c:a aac -b:a 128k \\\\\\n -movflags +faststart \\\\\\n -vf \\\"scale=1920:1080:force_original_aspect_ratio=decrease,pad=1920:1080:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2\\\" \\\\\\n output.mp4\\n```\\n\\nKey options: `-stream_loop -1` (loop video), `-shortest` (stop at narration end), `-movflags +faststart` (web-optimized).\\n\\n**Audio ducking**: See `references/youtube-automation/ffmpeg-recipes.md` for sidechain compression, text overlays, fade in/out, and segment concatenation.\\n\\n### 5. Thumbnail Generation (Pillow)\\n\\n```python\\nfrom PIL import Image, ImageDraw\\nimg = Image.new('RGB', (1280, 720), color=(20, 20, 20))\\ndraw = ImageDraw.Draw(img)\\ndraw.multiline_text((640, 360), \\\"TITLE\\\\nHERE\\\", fill=(255,255,255),\\n anchor=\\\"mm\\\", align=\\\"center\\\")\\nimg.save('thumbnail.png')\\n```\\n\\n### 6. Upload (Manual Step)\\n\\nYouTube API v3 requires OAuth 2.0 with browser-based consent. On a headless ZimaOS this cannot be fully automated.\\n\\n**Workarounds:**\\n- Run OAuth once on a laptop, cache the refresh token\\n- Use `youtubeuploader` (Go binary) with a stored token\\n- Manual upload via YouTube Studio — Hermes places the finished video + thumbnail in a shared folder\\n\\n## Pitfalls\\n\\n- **`os.rename()` from sandbox fails**\\n- **Reddit 403**: Always set a `User-Agent` header; use PullPush.io as fallback\\n- **Audio duration mismatch**: Measure with `ffprobe -i narration.mp3 -show_entries format=duration`\\n- **Long scripts**: Split into segments, generate TTS per segment, then `ffmpeg -f concat`\\n- **yt-dlp sections**: `--download-sections` requires ffmpeg. Syntax is `*START-END`\\n- **Storage**: A 10-minute 1080p video is ~200-500 MB.

Check Plex DB for match result\\n\\n```bash\\nsqlite3 \\\"/DATA/AppData/plex/config/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Databases/com.plexapp.plugins.library.db\\\" \\\\\\n \\\"SELECT id, title, metadata_type, \\\\\\\"index\\\\\\\", parent_id, year, guid FROM metadata_items WHERE title LIKE '%Terra%Welt%' ORDER BY parent_id, \\\\\\\"index\\\\\\\";\\\"\\n```\\n\\n### 4.

Upload poster — CRITICAL: aspect ratio\\n\\nPlex expects **2:3 portrait** posters (e.g. 1000×1500). Uploading a 16:9 landscape image (e.g. 1920×1080) causes Plex to show **black/nothing** instead of the image. Always crop/resize to portrait before uploading:\\n\\n```python\\nfrom PIL import Image\\nimg = Image.open('landscape_poster.jpg')\\nw, h = img.size\\n# Crop center to 2:3 ratio using full height\\ncrop_w = int(h * 2/3)\\nleft = (w - crop_w) // 2\\nportrait = img.crop((left, 0, left + crop_w, h))\\nportrait = portrait.resize((1000, 1500), Image.LANCZOS)\\nportrait.save('poster_portrait.jpg', quality=90)\\n```\\n\\nThen upload:\\n```bash\\ncurl -s -X POST \\\"http://127.0.0.1:32400/library/metadata/{id}/posters?X-Plex-Token=$PLEX_TOKEN\\\" -F \\\"file=@poster_portrait.jpg\\\"\\n```\\n\\nZDF og:image is typically 1920×1080 landscape — always convert to portrait before uploading to Plex.\\n\\n**PITFALL: Plex multipart upload corruption.** When uploading via `curl -F \\\"file=@poster.jpg\\\"`, Plex sometimes writes the entire multipart/form-data body (boundary headers + file content) into the bundle file instead of just the JPEG. The uploaded file will start with `------------------...` instead of `JFIF`. Result: Plex shows black/nothing.\\n\\n**Workaround — copy directly into the bundle:**\\n\\n```bash\\n# Find the bundle directory for this series\\nBUNDLE_DIR=$(find \\\"/DATA/AppData/plex/config/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Metadata/TV Shows/\\\" -name \\\"*{poster_hash}*\\\" -type f 2>/dev/null | head -1 | xargs dirname)\\n\\n# Remove the corrupted multipart file\\nsudo rm \\\"$BUNDLE_DIR/{poster_hash}\\\"\\n\\n# Copy clean JPEG directly\\nsudo cp poster_portrait.jpg \\\"$BUNDLE_DIR/{poster_hash}\\\"\\n\\n# Verify\\nfile \\\"$BUNDLE_DIR/{poster_hash}\\\" # Must say \\\"JPEG image data\\\"\\n```\\n\\nThen trigger a metadata refresh: `curl -s -X PUT \\\"http://127.0.0.1:32400/library/metadata/{id}/refresh?X-Plex-Token=$PLEX_TOKEN\\\"`\\n\\n### 7. Delete old wrong match\\n\\n```bash\\ncurl -s -X DELETE \\\"http://127.0.0.1:32400/library/metadata/{old_id}?X-Plex-Token=$PLEX_TOKEN\\\"\\n```\\n\\n## Key Pitfalls\\n\\n- **Plex PUT uses query params, not JSON body** — JSON body returns 400 Bad Request silently\\n- **ZDF API requires authentication** — can't query episode data directly from ZDF API without a token. Extract episode titles from the HTML page's `__next_f.push` GraphQL payload instead\\n- **ZDF page is a Next.js SPA** — `curl` gets the full HTML with embedded GraphQL data in `self.__next_f.push([1,\\\"...escaped JSON...\\\"])` calls. Parse these to extract episode titles, dates, and canonical URLs\\n- **Plex DB schema**: `metadata_items` table uses `index` (not `episode_index`), `parent_id` for hierarchy, `metadata_type` (2=show, 3=season, 4=episode)\\n- **Plex token** is stable and stored in Plex config. Current token: `UZBRFc2Y1psjzPNvnycU`\\n\\n## ZDF Next.js Data Extraction\\n\\nZDF pages are Next.js SPAs.
