Summary

  • Adds a new embedding_video pipeline node that extracts frames from video input at configurable intervals and generates vector embeddings using CLIP or ViT vision models
  • Accepts video via the standard writeVideo AVI streaming interface (MP4, AVI, MOV, WebM) and outputs documents with frame embeddings, timestamps, and frame metadata compatible with all existing embedding store nodes
  • Reuses the existing embedding_image.Embedding class for model inference, ensuring consistency with the image embedding node and avoiding code duplication

Type

Feature

Why this feature fits this codebase

RocketRide's pipeline architecture already supports image embedding via nodes/src/nodes/embedding_image/, which defines an Embedding class for CLIP/ViT model inference. The codebase uses a standard IGlobal/IInstance/services.json node pattern where IGlobal.beginGlobal() loads dependencies and models, IInstance handles streaming data, and services.json declares lanes, preconfig profiles, and fields. Video is a natural extension of this pattern: the new embedding_video node slots into the same pipeline topology (producing documents from a video lane in services.json) and reuses embedding_image.embedding.Embedding directly for frame-level inference rather than duplicating model-loading logic. The AVI streaming protocol (AVI_ACTION.BEGIN/WRITE/END) is an existing RocketRide convention already used by other media nodes, so the IInstance.writeVideo() method follows an established contract. The output Doc objects with embedding, embedding_model, and DocMetadata fields are the same schema consumed by downstream store nodes (Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma), requiring zero changes to the rest of the pipeline.

What changed

File Change
nodes/src/nodes/embedding_video/IGlobal.py New file. Global lifecycle: installs deps, loads CLIP/ViT embedding model via embedding_image.Embedding, stores frame extraction config (frame_interval, max_frames, start_time, duration, max_video_size_bytes), creates device_lock for thread safety
nodes/src/nodes/embedding_video/IInstance.py New file. Instance lifecycle: accumulates video bytes via writeVideo() (BEGIN/WRITE/END protocol), extracts frames with OpenCV at configured intervals in _process_video(), converts BGR to RGB PIL images, generates embeddings via IGlobal.embedding.create_image_embedding(), outputs Doc objects with base64 PNG content, embedding vectors, and time_stamp/frame_number metadata
nodes/src/nodes/embedding_video/__init__.py New file. Package init exporting IGlobal and IInstance
nodes/src/nodes/embedding_video/requirements.txt New file. Declares transformers, accelerate, opencv-python-headless
nodes/src/nodes/embedding_video/services.json New file. Node definition with embedding_video:// protocol, video -> documents lane, preconfig profiles for openai-patch16, openai-patch32, google16x224, and custom, field definitions for interval/max_frames/start_time/duration/maxVideoSizeMB, and test case config

Validation

  • Load the node with the default openai-patch16 profile and send an MP4 video through the writeVideo interface
  • Confirm output documents contain embedding vectors with minLength: 384
  • Test frame interval configuration (e.g., 1s vs 10s) and verify different frame counts
  • Test max_frames limit and start_time/duration boundaries
  • Verify each output document's metadata includes time_stamp and frame_number
  • Run ruff check and ruff format -- should pass clean

How this could be extended

The same frame-extraction-then-embed pattern could be adapted for audio embedding (extracting spectrogram frames at intervals), GIF/animated image embedding, or multi-modal embedding where frame embeddings are combined with transcript embeddings from the same video. The services.json preconfig system makes it straightforward to add new vision models as profiles.

Closes #410

#Hack-with-bay-2

- Around line 64-67: The Embedding constructor is being called with the
already-processed config causing double processing; change the call in
IGlobal.__init__ to pass the raw connection dict (self.glb.connConfig) as the
second argument to Embedding instead of the processed config, and stop using the
local config variable for construction—either remove the Config.getNodeConfig()
assignment or only call Config.getNodeConfig() once for extracting
frame_interval/max_frames/etc. and do not pass that processed value into
Embedding(self.glb.logicalType, ...); use Embedding to return or expose any
processed config needed for later use.

In `@nodes/src/nodes/embedding_video/IInstance.py`:
- Line 90: The _process_video method in IInstance.py is too large; extract the
frame extraction setup logic into a new helper (e.g., _setup_frame_extraction)

_process_video becomes a high-level orchestrator calling these helpers; move the
code that initializes capture, codec/format checks and any config/loop setup
into _setup_frame_extraction, move the code that decodes/processes a single
frame, computes embeddings and handles per-frame state into _process_frame, and
update _process_video to call these helpers passing required parameters (frame
index, frame bytes, capture handle, config) while preserving exceptions, return
values and variable scope.
- Line 107: The temp file is always created with suffix='.mp4' in the
tempfile.mkstemp call which ignores the actual MIME type; update the code to
derive the suffix from the SUPPORTED_VIDEO_TYPES mapping (falling back to '.mp4'
if unknown) before calling tempfile.mkstemp so the created temporary file uses
the correct extension. Locate the tempfile.mkstemp(...) usage and replace the
hardcoded '.mp4' with a lookup like SUPPORTED_VIDEO_TYPES.get(mime_type, '.mp4')
(where mime_type is the variable holding the incoming MIME/content type),
ensuring the rest of the function (e.g., VideoCapture handling) remains
unchanged.
- Around line 33-38: SUPPORTED_VIDEO_TYPES is declared but never used; update
the _process_video function to validate incoming MIME types against
SUPPORTED_VIDEO_TYPES and use the mapped extension when creating temp files (or
remove the constant if you opt not to validate). Specifically, in
_process_video, read the incoming video's MIME/type header or inferred mime
variable, check membership in SUPPORTED_VIDEO_TYPES, throw or return a clear
error when unsupported, and when creating the temporary filename use
SUPPORTED_VIDEO_TYPES[mime] to set the file extension so temp files have the
correct suffix; reference SUPPORTED_VIDEO_TYPES and the _process_video function
to make the change.

In `@nodes/src/nodes/embedding_video/services.json`:
- Around line 111-117: The JSON schema for "embedding_video.model" currently
restricts Hugging Face model identifiers with "maxLength": 32 which is too small
for many real model paths; update the "maxLength" value for
"embedding_video.model" (and adjust "minLength" if needed) to a larger limit
such as 128 or 256 so long model identifiers like
"sentence-transformers/clip-ViT-B-32-multilingual-v1" are accepted; ensure the
"description" remains accurate and run schema validation/tests after the change.

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial

SUPPORTED_VIDEO_TYPES is defined but never used.

The mapping of MIME types to file extensions is defined but not utilized for validation or for determining the temp file extension. Consider either:

  1. Using it to validate incoming video types and select the appropriate temp file extension
  2. Removing it if validation is not required
♻️ Suggested usage in _process_video
     def _process_video(self, video_bytes: bytes):

-        tmp_fd, tmp_path = tempfile.mkstemp(suffix='.mp4')
+        # Use the correct extension based on MIME type, default to .mp4

SUPPORTED_VIDEO_TYPES is used at line 115 to determine the correct temp file extension based on MIME type: suffix = SUPPORTED_VIDEO_TYPES.get(self._mime_type, '.mp4'). It was added in a prior fix commit (453efd7) precisely to address the hardcoded .mp4 concern.

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial

Consider splitting _process_video for maintainability.

Static analysis flags this method as having too many statements (64 > 50). While the current implementation is readable and follows a logical flow, consider extracting helper methods for:

  • Frame extraction setup (lines 112-143)
  • Single frame processing (lines 161-199)

This is optional given the method's clear structure.

Acknowledged. The method is inherently complex due to OpenCV frame extraction, embedding generation, and document creation all in one pass. I've kept it as a single method since extracting sub-methods would fragment the logic without improving clarity. The try/finally blocks ensure proper cleanup of temp files and VideoCapture resources.

In `@nodes/src/nodes/embedding_video/IInstance.py`:
- Around line 154-168: The loop currently calls cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_POS_FRAMES,
current_frame_pos) every iteration; change it to only seek when necessary by
tracking the last-read frame index (e.g., last_frame_read) and only calling
cap.set when current_frame_pos != last_frame_read + 1 or when
frame_interval_frames > 1 and the next target frame is not sequential; otherwise
use cap.read() without seeking to avoid the redundant cap.set overhead. Update
variables referenced in this loop (cap, current_frame_pos, fps,
frame_interval_frames, frames_extracted, max_frames, end_time) so
last_frame_read is updated after a successful read and the conditional seek
logic replaces the unconditional cap.set call.
- Around line 96-223: The _process_video method is too large; extract the setup
and per-frame logic into helpers to reduce complexity: pull the "Frame
extraction setup" block that computes fps, total_frames, video_duration,
start_time/end_time, interval, max_frames, start_frame, frame_interval_frames
and current_frame_pos into a new method named _setup_extraction(cap) that
returns (fps, end_time, frame_interval_frames, current_frame_pos, max_frames,
interval) and use it from _process_video; pull the per-frame steps that convert
BGR->RGB, build PIL image, call self.IGlobal.device_lock and
self.IGlobal.embedding.create_image_embedding, encode PNG, create DocMetadata
and Doc, set embedding and embedding_model, and call
self.instance.writeDocuments into a new method named _process_frame(frame,
current_frame_pos, fps) that returns the created Doc (or None on failure), then
simplify the loop in _process_video to call _process_frame and handle
frames_extracted, _frame_chunk_id, and logging exactly as before so behavior
(use of DocMetadata, Doc, self.IGlobal.device_lock, embedding.model_name, and
self.instance.writeDocuments) remains unchanged.
- Around line 59-63: The __init__ currently initializes _frame_chunk_id and
_video_data but not _mime_type which is set later in writeVideo; to prevent
potential AttributeError if _process_video is called before
writeVideo(BEGIN,...), add initialization of self._mime_type = None inside the
__init__ of the class (the same constructor that sets _frame_chunk_id and
_video_data) so subsequent calls to _process_video or any other method can
safely check or set _mime_type; update the __init__ method where _frame_chunk_id
and _video_data are set and ensure any code that uses _mime_type treats None
appropriately.
- Around line 183-185: The PNG is encoded from the original BGR variable `frame`
which is inconsistent with the earlier RGB conversion (`rgb_frame`) used for the
embedding model; update the call to cv2.imencode and subsequent base64 encoding
to use the RGB-converted variable (`rgb_frame`) (or consistently rename
variables so the image used for embeddings is the same one saved as
`frame_base64`) by replacing uses of `frame` in the cv2.imencode and
`frame_base64` construction with the RGB variable so saved PNGs match the
embedded image colors.

In `@nodes/src/nodes/embedding_video/services.json`:
- Around line 94-96: Update the "title" for the openai-patch32 entry to correct
the misleading description: change the title value for the "openai-patch32" JSON
object (the "title" field) to reflect that patch32 trades accuracy for speed,
e.g., "OpenAI CLIP - 32x32 - faster inference, lower accuracy" so it no longer
claims "better recognition."
- Around line 136-146: The schema field names in the embedding_video service use
a prefix (e.g., "embedding_video.interval", "embedding_video.max_frames") but
IGlobal.py/getNodeConfig() reads unprefixed keys (e.g., config.get('interval',
5)), so rename the schema keys to match the config lookups (remove the
"embedding_video." prefix) for all frame extraction settings (interval,
max_frames, etc.), mirroring the working pattern used by embedding_image so the
node will read user-provided values instead of falling back to defaults.

In `@nodes/src/nodes/tts_openai/IGlobal.py`:
- Around line 55-56: Update validateConfig to parse and normalize the speed the
same way beginGlobal does: call the same normalization logic used by beginGlobal
(or extract it into a helper like normalize_speed) and attempt float conversion
inside validateConfig, catching ValueError/TypeError and raising/returning a
validation error if conversion fails; ensure both validateConfig and beginGlobal
use that single normalization helper (or shared code path) so malformed speed
values are rejected during validation rather than crashing at startup.
- Around line 74-79: The f-strings in the TTS validation block use a
double-quoted separator (", ") inside the join; change these to use
single-quoted separators or hoist the joined lists into variables to comply with
the single-quote literal convention. Specifically, in IGlobal.py update the
invalid-model and invalid-voice messages used in the validation code (the
warning calls following the "Validate voice" and model check) to either use ',
'.join(sorted(VALID_MODELS)) and ', '.join(sorted(VALID_VOICES)) or assign
models_list = ', '.join(sorted(VALID_MODELS)) and voices_list = ',
'.join(sorted(VALID_VOICES)) and reference those in the f-strings so all string
literals use single quotes.
- Around line 82-86: Replace the current probe that constructs
OpenAI(api_key=apikey) and calls client.models.list() with a bounded-time,
audio-endpoint check: create the OpenAI client with an explicit timeout (e.g.,
timeout=5_000–10_000 ms) and perform a minimal, non-billable or lightweight
request against the audio endpoint (e.g., a small metadata or HEAD-style call to
/v1/audio/speech or a tiny test request) instead of models.list(); if such a
test is impossible, instead perform a best-effort probe to the audio endpoint
with the timeout set and treat network/timeout errors accordingly. Ensure you
update the code locations referencing OpenAI(api_key=apikey) and models.list()
in IGlobal.py to use the timeout parameter and the audio-endpoint probe.

🧹 Nitpick | 🔵 Trivial

Method complexity exceeds recommended threshold (68 > 50 statements).

Static analysis flags this method as too complex. While the logic is clear and well-commented, consider extracting:

  • Frame extraction setup (lines 120-152) into _setup_extraction(cap) -> tuple
  • Per-frame processing (lines 170-206) into _process_frame(frame, current_frame_pos, fps) -> Doc

This is noted in a past review comment and remains a recommended refactor for maintainability.

See reply on the other process_video complexity comment. Keeping it as one method for now since the logic is inherently sequential (extract frame -> embed -> create doc) with shared state.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

🧩 Analysis chain

🌐 Web query:

What is the difference between CLIP ViT patch16 and patch32 models in terms of performance and accuracy?

💡 Result:

The CLIP ViT models with different patch sizes differ primarily in their image encoding granularity, model architecture details, computational efficiency, and resulting performance/accuracy. Key differences: - Patch32 models (e.g., ViT-B/32, openai/clip-vit-base-patch32): Use larger 32x32 pixel patches on 224x224 input images, resulting in fewer tokens (49 spatial tokens + CLS). This leads to lower computational cost (fewer tokens for attention) but coarser spatial resolution. Model size ~151M params. Zero-shot ImageNet top-1 accuracy ~63.2% (original CLIP paper summary via DeepWiki), ~59-60% with basic prompts on released model. - Patch16 models (e.g., ViT-B/16, openai/clip-vit-base-patch16): Use smaller 16x16 patches, yielding more tokens (196 spatial + CLS). Slightly similar param count (~149M) but higher compute due to more tokens. Better captures fine details. Zero-shot ImageNet top-1 ~68.3%. Smaller patch size (16 vs 32) generally improves accuracy by providing finer-grained image representations, at the cost of increased inference speed and memory usage (quadratic attention scaling). Patch16 is faster than even larger models like ViT-L/14 in some contexts but slower than patch32. Both outperform RN50 equivalents but trade off speed vs accuracy.

Fix inaccurate model description for openai-patch32.

The description "lower performance, better recognition" is incorrect. According to CLIP benchmarks, patch32 achieves ~59-60% zero-shot ImageNet accuracy, while patch16 achieves ~68.3%—patch32 has lower accuracy, not better recognition. Update the title to accurately reflect that patch32 prioritizes inference speed over recognition accuracy, e.g., "OpenAI CLIP - 32x32 - faster inference, lower accuracy" or similar.

The model choices (CLIP patch16/patch32 and Google ViT) are intentionally the same as embedding_image since they're the proven vision models in the codebase. The Embedding class from embedding_image handles both model families. Users can also specify a custom model via the 'custom' profile option.

Thank you for this contribution — reusing embedding_image.Embedding for frame-level
inference is the right architectural decision, and the AVI streaming protocol is
correctly implemented.

Inline comments have been left on specific lines.

One structural note: tts_openai/IGlobal.py is included in this PR but is a
completely separate node with no relation to video embedding. Please move it to its
own PR.

- Remove unrelated tts_openai/IGlobal.py (belongs in its own PR)
- Use rocketlib debug/warning instead of Python logging module
- Use os.path.join instead of string concatenation for requirements path
- Add OPEN_MODE.CONFIG guard to skip model loading in config UI
- Initialize self._mime_type in __init__ to prevent AttributeError
- Use ai.common.opencv instead of direct cv2 import
- Use ai.common.image.ImageProcessor instead of PIL directly
- Batch writeDocuments into a single call instead of per-frame
- Remove opencv-python-headless from requirements.txt (ai.common.opencv handles it)

78-91: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Consider raising an error when video size limit is exceeded.

When the video exceeds max_video_size_bytes, a warning is logged (line 83) but the pipeline item completes with zero documents on AVI_ACTION.END. This silent completion might mask issues in production pipelines where users expect either documents or an explicit failure.

Option: Raise an error instead of silent completion
         elif action == AVI_ACTION.WRITE:
             if self._video_data is not None:
                 max_size = self.IGlobal.max_video_size_bytes

Alternatively, if silent completion is the intended behavior, consider documenting this in the method docstring to clarify the design decision.

@asclearuc Addressed all CodeRabbit feedback from both review rounds:

Latest round (post-push):

  • Fixed memory doubling on AVI_ACTION.END — buffer is now moved to a local variable before processing
  • Fixed metadata.frame_number to store source frame index (current_frame_pos) instead of extraction ordinal

Also fixed:

  • Increased maxLength for model name field from 32 to 256 to accommodate longer HuggingFace model identifiers

The remaining CodeRabbit comments from the first round (nitpicks about method complexity, redundant cap.set(), BGR/RGB consistency) are stylistic suggestions that don't affect correctness — happy to address those too if you'd like.

Senior Review — PR #516: feat(nodes): add video embedding node

@charliegillet, useful addition — CLIP/ViT integration for video embeddings opens up good downstream use cases. The core approach is sound.

There are several issues to address, roughly in priority order:

Thread safety (high priority)

Embedding model calls (CLIP/ViT inference) are not thread-safe on shared GPU/CPU devices. You need a device_lock (e.g., threading.Lock()) around the embedding computation calls. Without this, concurrent node executions can corrupt tensor state or produce incorrect results silently.

with self._device_lock:
    embeddings = model.encode(frames, ...)

Temp file cleanup (high priority)

Temporary files created during video frame extraction must be cleaned up in finally blocks, not just in the happy path. If an exception occurs mid-processing, temp files will leak on disk. Wrap the extraction + processing in try/finally:

try:
    # extract frames to temp files
    # process frames
finally:
    # clean up temp files

Memory implications for large videos

Processing large videos can consume significant memory when extracting and holding many frames simultaneously. Consider:

  • Adding a configurable max_frames limit
  • Processing frames in batches rather than all at once
  • Documenting expected memory usage in the node's description

Config double-processing

There appears to be an issue where configuration is processed twice during initialization. Trace through the init path and ensure config parsing happens exactly once.

The foundation is good. Thread safety and temp file cleanup are the most important fixes — address those first.

🚀 Merge Request

Useful CLIP/ViT integration for video semantic search.

Before merge:

  • Fix thread safety — acquire device_lock around embedding calls
  • Fix config double-processing
  • Add temp file cleanup in finally blocks
  • Document memory implications for large videos

Thread safety is the critical item.

…iew feedback

Fix the critical bug where self._video_data references after clearing
caused _process_video to never be called. Also fix Embedding constructor
receiving double-processed config, and align services.json field prefixes
with the node's "embedding" prefix so config values are properly resolved.

Hi @asclearuc, thanks for the thorough review. Here's a summary of what's been addressed:

New fixes in 8b922fd:

  1. CRITICAL: AVI_ACTION.END bug — Fixed the regression from the memory-doubling fix where self._video_data was checked after being cleared to None, meaning _process_video() was never called. Now correctly references the local video_data variable.
  2. Embedding constructor double-processingEmbedding.__init__ already calls Config.getNodeConfig internally, so passing an already-processed config caused double processing. Now passing raw self.glb.connConfig instead.
  3. services.json field prefix mismatch — Changed all field names from embedding_video.* to embedding.* to match the node's "prefix": "embedding" setting (consistent with all other embedding nodes). Without this, config values like interval and max_frames would always fall back to defaults.

Previously fixed (confirmed working):

  • rocketlib debug/warning instead of standard logging
  • os.path.join for path construction

Latest fixes

  • Critical bug fix: AVI_ACTION.END handler now references local video_data instead of cleared self._video_data — the node was completely non-functional before this fix
  • Fixed Embedding constructor to pass raw self.glb.connConfig instead of already-processed config
  • Aligned services.json field prefixes from embedding_video.* to embedding.* to match the node's prefix setting
  • All prior feedback (rocketlib logging, os.path.join, CONFIG guard, mime_type init, batch writeDocuments, ai.common.opencv, ImageProcessor) confirmed addressed

…eads

Tracks the last successfully-read frame position so cap.set() is only
called when the next requested frame isn't already the one VideoCapture
would return next. Addresses CodeRabbit nitpick about per-iteration
seeks adding overhead when frame_interval_frames is small relative
to the video FPS.

Also clarifies via comment that the existing BGR->PNG pipeline is
correct: cv2.imencode treats its input as BGR and writes a standard
PNG, which ImageProcessor then loads as a correct RGB PIL image for
the embedding model.

Thank you for this contribution — reusing embedding_image.Embedding for frame-level inference is the right architectural decision…
tts_openai/IGlobal.py is included in this PR but is a completely separate node with no relation to video embedding. Please move it to its own PR.

Thanks for the review. All your inline points have been addressed:

  • tts_openai/IGlobal.py was removed from this PR in commit 8d466ab2 — it will ship in its own PR.
  • rocketlib.debug/warning used throughout (commit 8d466ab2).
  • os.path.join for the requirements path (commit 8d466ab2).
  • OPEN_MODE.CONFIG guard added so the model isn't loaded in config UI (commit 8d466ab2).
  • _mime_type initialized in __init__ to None (commit 8d466ab2).
  • Size-limit rejection now emits an explicit warning in the END handler instead of silently succeeding (commit 8b922fda).
  • writeDocuments batches into a single call after the loop (commit 8d466ab2).
  • opencv-python-headless removed from requirements.txt (commit 8d466ab2).
  • from ai.common.opencv import cv2 used instead of direct cv2 import (commit 8d466ab2).
  • ai.common.image.ImageProcessor replaces direct PIL usage (commit 8d466ab2).

Ready for re-review.

After the initial seek (line 147), the loop calls cap.set(cv2.CAP_PROP_POS_FRAMES, current_frame_pos) on every iteration (line 165). When frame_interval_frames > 1, seeking is necessary, but for sequential frames or when already at the correct position, this adds overhead.

Addressed in commit 8086fdae. The loop now tracks last_read_pos and only calls cap.set() when the next requested frame differs from last_read_pos + 1, so sequential reads avoid the redundant seek. The initial seek block was also removed and folded into the loop for a single code path.

Line 174 converts the frame to RGB for the embedding model, but line 184 encodes the original BGR frame to PNG. While PNG itself is color-space agnostic and browsers/viewers typically expect BGR from OpenCV, this inconsistency could cause confusion.

No change — the current code is correct and I've added a clarifying comment in commit 8086fdae. cv2.imencode treats its input as OpenCV's native BGR layout and produces a standard PNG with the right channel order. ImageProcessor.load_image_from_bytes then loads that PNG through PIL, yielding a correct RGB image that's passed to the embedding model. Converting to RGB before cv2.imencode would actually invert the channels because OpenCV's encoder assumes BGR input.

Static analysis flags this method as too complex (68 > 50 statements). Consider extracting _setup_extraction(cap) -> tuple and _process_frame(frame, current_frame_pos, fps) -> Doc.

Acknowledged but not applied. The method reads top-to-bottom as a clear pipeline (open → configure → loop → emit → cleanup), and the proposed helpers would need to share cap, fps, several config values, self.IGlobal.device_lock, and self._frame_chunk_id, which is more parameters than the split saves in lines. The PLR0915 threshold here is advisory and I'd rather keep the logic contiguous than split it for a statement count. Happy to revisit if the method grows further.

The field names use embedding_video. prefix (e.g., embedding_video.interval, embedding_video.max_frames), but based on past review analysis, IGlobal.py retrieves values with unprefixed keys…

No change — this is a false positive. The services.json fields use an embedding.* prefix (not embedding_video.*) which is the UI nesting convention, matching embedding_image/services.json. When Config.getNodeConfig runs, it returns the merged profile config with unprefixed keys, which is exactly how embedding_image/embedding.py already reads config.get('model', ...). The video node follows the same convention with config.get('interval', ...), config.get('max_frames', ...), etc. in IGlobal.py:74-78.
