Two ladders decided how a model's inputs get wired, and they had drifted: the
api reported an unrecognized row as t2v while run() fell through to a branch
that wires nothing. Eight LTX condition rows sat in that gap, advertised as
text to video and generating without their conditioning.
dispatch_mode answers once from the row, reading name markers before the
pipeline class because one class serves several modes: six LTXConditionPipeline
rows are named T2V or I2V and generate as such. Rows that declare nothing now
resolve as condition, and the api reports that instead of guessing t2v.
parse_options reads : and , as separators and = as the only assignment, so a
segment without = becomes a valueless flag set to 1. The shipped strings used
ffmpeg command line spelling, which parses without error into other values.
- crf:16 parsed to {'crf': '1', '16': '1'}, encoding every api, framepack and
seedvr video near lossless rather than at crf 16
- crf=23:b:v=0 pinned the generic bitrate option to 1 bit per second on vp8 and
vp9, collapsing their output
- qscale:v=3 reached mpeg4 and mjpeg as nothing at all, replaced by an explicit
quantizer range
- test-video-codecs.py asserts every preset segment carries an assignment
The core took reference images only, so no api caller could send the video and
audio references the ref2va workflow conditions on, and the marshalling that
handles them existed solely in the MiniMax tab.
validate_references now gates on the workflow and hands the entries to the
architecture that owns them, which accepts decoded images and local file paths
in any mix and preserves their order, since order fixes the labels a prompt
addresses. reference_caps exposes the same limits the validation enforces, so a
client reads them instead of mirroring the numbers.
- MAX_IMAGE_REFERENCES is gone: the limits now cover all three kinds and a total
- the run body no longer builds reference objects or knows their class
- an image is converted where it is built rather than at the call site, so a
reference decoded from a file and one posted as base64 arrive the same way
- pipeline args summarize a reference list by kind, since a decoded video would
otherwise print its frames into the per-generation log line
- the video endpoint documents what it actually accepts: images alone, because
video and audio decode from files rather than from the wire, and an upload
reference only where an extension provides the store that resolves one
The registry helpers filtered only the 'None' placeholder, so the eleven
LTX separator rows resolved as models and a POST naming one reached
load_model with a null repo. is_model() now covers both sentinel kinds.
The ref2va checkpoint partition conditions on reference images instead
of keyframes, so it gets its own registry row and reference card, and
the video core marshals PIL images into task_args as
MiniMaxH3ImageReference. Images are converted to RGB first, since the
reference encoder reads the array raw. The keyframe path is unchanged.
Validation runs before the model load in one funnel shared by the tab
and the API, so a rejected request costs nothing: references on a
non-reference model, a reference model with nothing to condition on,
more than nine images, non-images, and aspect outside 1:4 to 4:1 all
return 400. The image path rejects a reference pipe without references
instead of reaching a transformer that was never loaded.
Add POST /sdapi/v1/video plus GET /sdapi/v1/video/models and
GET /sdapi/v1/video/file. The generation body is extracted from the
gradio handler into a keyword-only core, video_run.run, which returns a
structured result and raises typed errors; the positional generate
signature is unchanged and now adapts to the core. Omitting engine and
model drives the currently loaded checkpoint when it is video-capable,
which covers models loaded from local folders without a registry entry.
- registry helpers in models_def (find, engines, pipeline_classes,
workflow_for_class); validate_pipeline reuses the shared class set
- modular pipes stamp their workflow so out-of-registry loads dispatch
onto the modular branch
- disk switches (mp4_*) and wire switches (send_*) are independent;
artifacts above the base64 cap fall back to path plus the file route,
which is jailed to the video output directory and serves video/mp4
with range support
- always-on video scripts get bootstrapped default args, matching the
txt2img handler; missing bootstrap raised a TypeError per frame
- checkpoint overrides are rejected with a pointer to the checkpoint
endpoint; unknown engine, model and sampler names return 404 with the
valid choices
- cli/api-video.py client, test/test-video-api.py suite and a
full-test.sh entry; video mimetypes registered; rate-limit cost set
- remove the unreferenced video_ui.run_video dispatcher
