Intake
Receive source jobs from SABnzbd or manual operator queues and normalize metadata into one visible task list.
PIPELINE DEEP DIVE
Eight discrete stages with visible state and real dependency boundaries.
The Vetrra pipeline is designed for operators who want end-to-end visibility across ingestion, encode policy, subtitle handling, OCR, and final deployment. Each stage has explicit responsibilities and explicit failure surfaces.
STAGE MAP
Real tools. Deterministic flow. No generic automation language.
Organize
Resolve naming, folder targets, path templates, and title normalization before heavy processing begins.
MKV processing
Inspect streams, validate track layout, and establish the container state that downstream stages inherit.
Video encode
Apply hardware-aware FFmpeg profiles with operator-visible bitrate, ETA, acceleration, and fallback signaling.
Subtitle handling
Extract, validate, and classify subtitle streams, including language flags and forced-track rules.
Muxing
Reassemble validated media tracks into the final container with explicit operator review surfaces.
Poster OCR
Use local Ollama vision models to parse poster text and keep media artwork classified with the rest of the library.
QC and deploy
Validate final output structure, generate quality reports, and deploy the asset into its target library path.
DEPENDENCY MODEL
The application is local-first because the pipeline depends on local tooling.
FFmpeg
Handles encode, stream inspection, and hardware acceleration decisions surfaced directly in the operator UI.
MKVToolNix
Supports stream topology awareness, mux policy, and container integrity during processing and deployment.
SABnzbd
Feeds structured intake into the queue so acquisition and processing remain connected rather than fragmented.
Ollama vision models
Enable local OCR and poster parsing without shipping library data or artwork to cloud APIs.
POSTER HANDLING
Cinematic media belongs inside the operator shell, not in generic SaaS ornament.
The product proof section now frames media inside a faux workspace chrome that matches the application's shell geometry. Poster OCR, gallery handling, and diagnostics sit inside the same system language as the rest of the pipeline.

OPERATOR OUTCOME
Designed for home-lab operators, self-hosters, and data hoarders who want proof.
Vetrra does not hide complexity. It concentrates it into one interface so the operator can see where a job lives, which external dependency is active, what acceleration path is engaged, and why a final file is or is not ready to deploy.
