Video Platform Reader

Designed, integrated, independently refactored, and continuously maintained by TIKAZ.

TIKAZ Edition

• Type: clean-room portable workflow.
• TIKAZ contribution: cross-platform source ledger, five evidence levels, claim-type separation, keyframe escalation, partial-failure handling, and cross-video synthesis contract.
• Boundary: do not claim platform access, download support, or visual inspection until the current environment proves it.

Inputs

Accept one or more supported public URLs, stable IDs, podcast pages, or local media files plus the user's question. Record requested sources before attempting acquisition.

Workflow

1. Inventory every requested source with platform, stable ID or file hash, author, publication date, duration, access result, and available evidence.
2. Acquire evidence with the least invasive available path: native transcript first, then legal metadata/subtitle tooling, timestamped ASR, and selective keyframes.
3. Assign L0 metadata, L1 native transcript, L2 timestamped ASR, L3 transcript plus keyframes, or L4 media evidence plus primary-source verification.
4. Label each important statement as source claim, transcript evidence, visual observation, external verification, or inference.
5. Create one evidence card per source before comparing sources. Record inaccessible, deleted, private, unsupported, or partially processed items instead of silently dropping them.
6. For visual claims, inspect the relevant timestamp or mark the claim unverified. For consequential factual claims, prefer an official primary source.
7. Synthesize agreements, conflicts, missing dependencies, confidence, and actionable conclusions only after source-level cards are complete.

Output contract

Return the source ledger, evidence level, timestamped findings, visual checks, unresolved gaps, and synthesis. Never describe metadata or a search snippet as watched content. Never bypass DRM, authentication, paywalls, or platform access controls.
