The converted HEVC stuttered in VLC, Chrome and on an iPad (offline) while the source played fine. Container timing was perfect (5818/5818 frame intervals at exactly 0.040000 s, no dup/backward PTS, ctts not flat) and a full decode printed nothing. Cross-decoder SSIM found the real defect: NVDEC's legacy av1_cuvid wrapper returns frames from the wrong timestamps - 106 of 5819 frames, SSIM down to 0.330, deterministically, roughly every 30 frames - and the HEVC output was a faithful encode of those wrong pictures (min 0.991 against the NVDEC decode, min 0.330 against a software decode). Fix is one line (-hwaccel cuda -hwaccel_output_format cuda -c:v av1, verified 1.000000 over 1500 frames; vp9_cuvid unaffected). Adds the content gate (structure AND pictures, defect-shaped thresholds) to the pipeline.
banner-gen — per-post banner/hero image generator
Generates a branded 1600×900 (16:9) banner image for a blog post — shown at
the top of the article, above the title. Matches the site's cobalt-blue
branding and the "terminal / debugging" visual language (siblings with
scripts/og-gen/, which produces the 1200×630 social-share image).
Usage
node scripts/banner-gen/generate.mjs <post-slug>
Reads the post's category from frontmatter, fills template.html, renders
with headless Chrome, and writes public/banners/<slug>.png.
Then add banner: /banners/<slug>.png to the post frontmatter (en + zh) —
[...slug].astro renders it above the H1 title.
Customizing content
Each post's banner content lives in BANNERS in generate.mjs, keyed by
slug, with three parts:
titlebar— the terminal window's title-bar textlines— terminal body rows:{ t, text }wheret∈cmd·dim·err(red) ·ok(green) ·hl(amber) ·prompt($)flow— bottom pipeline steps:{ n: '1', label: '...', err?: true }
No entry → a generic default banner.
Requirements
- Google Chrome at
C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe(CHROME_PATHto override). - Node 20+.
Relationship to og-gen
- og-gen →
public/og/<slug>.png(1200×630, 2:1) for social sharing. - banner-gen →
public/banners/<slug>.png(1600×900, 16:9) for the article hero. The banner is a "filled" visual (terminal + flow pipeline), not a poster — avoid large empty margins.
