Doesn't seem to work

Hey there! Excited to see this come to life, but right now it doesn't seem to work.

Good to know that you were able to start the application anyway.

My explanations were brief, so let me clarify a few points:

1. Flask Server Issue: In the version deployed on GitHub, the indexing.py file has a Flask server that does not restart at a defined time. As a result, it loads the old content of the JSON file with only the sample data.

2. Upcoming Fix: I will deploy a new version very soon, which I've been using and has these problems fixed.

3. Check main.py: Ensure that main.py is performing its job correctly. If not, please send me the error messages.

4. Live Screen Monitoring: The process works as follows:

   • A screenshot is taken every 2 seconds.
   • If the screen is not similar to the previous 2 seconds (using similarity algorithms), the screenshot is stored in a database.
   • These stored screenshots are then transcribed and implemented in a JSON file with the date and time.
   • The JSON file data is embedded in a vector database for indexing and querying.

5. Action Required: Either:

   • Restart your Flask server regularly.
   • Wait for the fix I will deploy soon, which will reload the JSON file every 5-10 minutes. Let me know which option you prefer.

3. looks like there are some errors

[DonTizi]

Can you manually create a folder logs/ and a file app.log in memory_capture, and restart the main.py file?

Sorry I deployed the old version cause I wanted to finish the new one before pushing it,

[DmacMcgreg]

Error is gone! But still same results from above. I can see some logs about storing info in the chroma db..

[DonTizi]

Can you double check the all_texts.json to see if the data is putted correctly?

Here is the issue: the screen recorder seems to work, but the transcription is not working well. Can you provide me with the logs of your app.log in memory-capture/logs?

[DonTizi]

I will deploy the optimal version tomorrow along with a demo. Sorry for the delay, I was quite overwhelmed today.

[DmacMcgreg]

@DonTizi The app.log seems to be over 37GB in size 🤯

[DonTizi]

Wow… delete it. I’ll add this to my to-do list. I added this log feature just for debugging to see where it didn’t work when I was coding. I’ll try to optimize it and either reduce it or delete it completely. Thanks for letting me know!

@DmacMcgreg @DonTizi I found a solution to this; or a similar issue... there is no transcriptions folder in memory_capture. The script is going to have to be modified to check for the folder and create it if it isn't there.
