+# ClipQuery – Ask Questions of Any Podcast / Video and Hear the Answer
+
+ClipQuery turns *any* local audio or video file into a searchable, conversational experience.
+It automatically transcribes the media, indexes each sentence with embeddings, and lets you
+ask natural-language questions.  It returns:
+
+1. A **30-second audio clip** from the exact place in the media where the answer occurs.
+2. The **timestamp** of the clip.
+3. A live **LangChain debug log** so you can inspect what happened behind the scenes.
+
+---
+## How It Works

+                                         └────────────────────┘
+```
+
+1. **Transcription** – `index_builder.py` uses `faster-whisper` to generate
+   word-level timestamps, saved as `segments.json`.
+2. **Embedding + Index** – Sentence-Transformer (miniLM) embeddings are
+   stored in a **FAISS** index (`data/*`).
+3. **Question Answering** – A local LLM (Ollama `phi3`) is wrapped in
+   `RetrievalQAWithSourcesChain` to pull the most relevant transcript
+   chunks and generate an answer.
+4. **Clip Extraction** – `clipper.py` calls `ffmpeg` to cut a 30 s MP3
+   between the `start` and `end` timestamps (extended to 30 s if shorter).
+5. **Debug Logging** – A custom `JSONLCallbackHandler` dumps every
+   LangChain event to `langchain_debug.jsonl`; the Gradio UI streams it
+   live in the **Debug Log** tab.

+## Installation
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Python 3.9+ (3.10 recommended)
+- FFmpeg (for audio processing)
+- For GPU acceleration: CUDA-compatible GPU (optional but recommended)
+
+### Quick Start (CPU/Spaces Mode)
+```bash
+# 1. Clone and set up
+python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate  # Linux/macOS
+# OR on Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
+
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+
+# 2. Run the app (uses flan-t5-base by default)
+python app.py
+```
+
+### Local GPU Setup (Optional)
+For better performance with local models:
+
+1. **Install Ollama**
+   ```bash
+   # macOS/Linux
+   curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh
+   
+   # Windows: Download from https://ollama.com/download
+   ```
+
+2. **Download Models** (pick one)
+   ```bash
+   # Small & fast (4GB VRAM+)
+   ollama pull phi3
+   
+   # Larger & more capable (8GB VRAM+)
+   ollama pull mistral
+   
+   # Start Ollama in the background
+   ollama serve &
+   ```
+
+3. **Run with Local Model**
+   ```bash
+   # The app will automatically detect Ollama if running
+   python app.py
+   ```
+
+### FFmpeg Setup
+```bash
+# macOS
+brew install ffmpeg
+
+# Ubuntu/Debian
+sudo apt update && sudo apt install ffmpeg
+
+# Windows (with Chocolatey)
+choco install ffmpeg
+```
+
+### FFmpeg
+
+`clipper.py` requires FFmpeg.  On macOS:
+```bash
+brew install ffmpeg
+```
+
+---
+## Quick Start
+
+1. **Launch the App**
+   ```bash
+   python app.py
+   ```
+   This starts a local web server at http://127.0.0.1:7860
+
+2. **First Run**
+   - The first time you run with a new model, it will download the necessary files (1-5GB for `flan-t5-base`).
+   - Subsequent starts will be faster as files are cached.
+
+3. **Using the App**
+   1. **Upload** any audio/video file (mp3, mp4, etc.)
+   2. Select a model:
+      - For CPU/Spaces: `flan-t5-base`
+      - For local GPU: `phi3` or `tinyllama` (requires Ollama)
+   3. Ask a question in the **Ask** tab
+   4. The app will:
+      - Transcribe the media (first time only)
+      - Find the most relevant 30-second clip
+      - Play the audio and show the timestamp
+
+4. **Debugging**
+   - Check the terminal for transcription progress
+   - View the **Debug Log** tab for detailed LLM interactions
+   - Logs are saved to `langchain_debug.jsonl`
+

+## Project Layout
+
+```
+├── app.py              # Gradio UI and orchestration
+├── clipper.py          # ffmpeg clip extraction helper
+├── index_builder.py    # transcription + FAISS index builder
+├── qa_engine.py        # load index, build RetrievalQA chain, JSONL logging
+├── logging_config.py   # basic logger
+├── requirements.txt
+└── README.md
+```
+
+Generated artifacts:
+
+* `downloads/audio.mp3`         – copy of uploaded audio
+* `data/faiss_index*`            – FAISS vector store
+* `data/segments.json`          – transcript chunks with timestamps
+* `langchain_debug.jsonl`       – streaming debug log
+
+---
+## Customising
+
+* **Change minimum clip length** – Modify `MIN_CLIP_SEC` logic in
+  `app.py` (currently hard-coded to 30 s).
+* **Use a different LLM** – Change the `ChatOllama(model=...)` argument
+  in `qa_engine.py` (any Ollama-served model works).
+* **Prompt template** – Supply `chain_type_kwargs={"prompt": custom_prompt}`
+  when calling `RetrievalQAWithSourcesChain.from_chain_type`.
+* **Rotate / clean logs** – Delete `langchain_debug.jsonl`; it will be
+  recreated on the next query.

+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+| Issue | Solution |
+|-------|----------|
+| **Ollama not detected** | Run `ollama serve` in a separate terminal |
+| **CUDA Out of Memory** | Use a smaller model (`phi3` instead of `mistral`) or reduce batch size |
+| **FFmpeg not found** | Install FFmpeg and ensure it's in your PATH |
+| **Slow performance on CPU** | Use `phi3` or `tinyllama` with Ollama for GPU acceleration |
+| **Model download errors** | Check internet connection and disk space |
+
+### Advanced
+- **Reducing VRAM Usage**:
+  ```python
+  # In app.py, reduce context length
+  llm = ChatOllama(model="phi3", num_ctx=2048)  # default is 4096
+  ```
+
+- **Faster Transcriptions**:
+  ```bash
+  # Pre-convert to 16kHz mono WAV
+  ffmpeg -i input.mp3 -ar 16000 -ac 1 -c:a pcm_s16le input_16k.wav
+  ```
+
+- **Debug Logs**:
+  - Check `langchain_debug.jsonl` for detailed traces
+  - Set `LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG` for verbose output
+
+## Local Development
+
+### Environment Variables
+```bash
+# For HuggingFace models (required for Spaces)
+export HUGGINGFACEHUB_API_TOKEN="your_token_here"
+
+# For debugging
+export LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG
+```
+
+### Running Tests
+```bash
+# Install test dependencies
+pip install pytest pytest-mock
+
+# Run tests
+pytest tests/
+```
+
+### Building for Production
+```bash
+# Create a standalone executable (using PyInstaller)
+pip install pyinstaller
+pyinstaller --onefile app.py
+```

This year we are finally together again. \n\nTonight, we meet as Democrats Republicans and Independents. But most importantly as Americans. \n\nWith a duty to one another to the American people to the Constitution. \n\nAnd with an unwavering resolve that freedom will always triumph over tyranny. \n\nSix days ago, Russia\u2019s Vladimir Putin sought to shake the foundations of the free world thinking he could make it bend to his menacing ways. But he badly miscalculated. \n\nHe thought he could roll into Ukraine and the world would roll over. Instead he met a wall of strength he never imagined. \n\nHe met the Ukrainian people. \n\nFrom President Zelenskyy to every Ukrainian, their fearlessness, their courage, their determination, inspires the world. \n\nGroups of citizens blocking tanks with their bodies. Everyone from students to retirees teachers turned soldiers defending their homeland.\nSource: 0-pl\nContent: And we won\u2019t stop. \n\nWe have lost so much to COVID-19. Time with one another. And worst of all, so much loss of life. \n\nLet\u2019s use this moment to reset. Let\u2019s stop looking at COVID-19 as a partisan dividing line and see it for what it is: A God-awful disease.  \n\nLet\u2019s stop seeing each other as enemies, and start seeing each other for who we really are: Fellow Americans.  \n\nWe can\u2019t change how divided we\u2019ve been. But we can change how we move forward\u2014on COVID-19 and other issues we must face together. \n\nI recently visited the New York City Police Department days after the funerals of Officer Wilbert Mora and his partner, Officer Jason Rivera. \n\nThey were responding to a 9-1-1 call when a man shot and killed them with a stolen gun. \n\nOfficer Mora was 27 years old. \n\nOfficer Rivera was 22. \n\nBoth Dominican Americans who\u2019d grown up on the same streets they later chose to patrol as police officers. \n\nI spoke with their families and told them that we are forever in debt for their sacrifice, and we will carry on their mission to restore the trust and safety every community deserves.\nSource: 24-pl\nContent: And a proud Ukrainian people, who have known 30 years  of independence, have repeatedly shown that they will not tolerate anyone who tries to take their country backwards.  \n\nTo all Americans, I will be honest with you, as I\u2019ve always promised. A Russian dictator, invading a foreign country, has costs around the world. \n\nAnd I\u2019m taking robust action to make sure the pain of our sanctions  is targeted at Russia\u2019s economy. And I will use every tool at our disposal to protect American businesses and consumers. \n\nTonight, I can announce that the United States has worked with 30 other countries to release 60 Million barrels of oil from reserves around the world.  \n\nAmerica will lead that effort, releasing 30 Million barrels from our own Strategic Petroleum Reserve. And we stand ready to do more if necessary, unified with our allies.  \n\nThese steps will help blunt gas prices here at home. And I know the news about what\u2019s happening can seem alarming. \n\nBut I want you to know that we are going to be okay.\nSource: 5-pl\nContent: More support for patients and families. \n\nTo get there, I call on Congress to fund ARPA-H, the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health. \n\nIt\u2019s based on DARPA\u2014the Defense Department project that led to the Internet, GPS, and so much more.  \n\nARPA-H will have a singular purpose\u2014to drive breakthroughs in cancer, Alzheimer\u2019s, diabetes, and more. \n\nA unity agenda for the nation. \n\nWe can do this. \n\nMy fellow Americans\u2014tonight , we have gathered in a sacred space\u2014the citadel of our democracy. \n\nIn this Capitol, generation after generation, Americans have debated great questions amid great strife, and have done great things. \n\nWe have fought for freedom, expanded liberty, defeated totalitarianism and terror. \n\nAnd built the strongest, freest, and most prosperous nation the world has ever known. \n\nNow is the hour. \n\nOur moment of responsibility. \n\nOur test of resolve and conscience, of history itself. \n\nIt is in this moment that our character is formed.
