-#!/bin/bash
-# services/sky-cam-frigate.sh — Automated sky / timelapse camera scripts,
-# sourced from Frigate recordings instead of raw JPEG image folders.
-# Part of the modular post-install system (sourced by setup.sh).
-#
-# Can also be run standalone on any machine:
-#   sudo bash sky-cam-frigate.sh
-# (Docker must already be installed when run standalone; Frigate should
-# already be configured — see services/frigate.sh — with continuous
-# recording enabled for the cameras you want timelapses from.)
-#
-# NON-DOCKER module. Duplicate of sky-cam.sh, adapted so the timelapse
-# source is Frigate's recordings (via its HTTP export API) rather than a
-# directory of per-frame JPEGs dropped by motionEye. Produces the same
-# outputs sky-cam always has:
-#   • Daily sunrise clip — speed-adjusted video, uploaded to Mattermost
-#   • Four Seasons timelapse — daily clips sized to Vivaldi movements' music
-#   • Full-day timelapse — fixed-length timelapse of the day's recording
-#   • Moon-track timelapse — moon tracked & cropped each visible night
-#   • Monthly moon-phase close-ups — NASA Dial-a-Moon images posted to MM
-#
-# Source: https://github.com/outis1one/sky-cam (cloned via bootstrap.sh)
-# Installs systemd user timers via sky-cam's install.sh.
-#
-# Frigate integration: since Frigate stores recordings in its own rolling
-# storage rather than per-frame JPEGs, this installer wires up a
-# frigate-retime.sh helper (dropped alongside the cloned sky-cam scripts)
-# that:
-#   1. Requests a coarse timelapse export from Frigate's API for a given
-#      start/end window (Frigate stitches its continuous-recording segments
-#      together for you — no manual concatenation needed).
-#   2. ffprobes the exported clip's *actual* duration (never trusts the
-#      requested export speed — hardware-accelerated exports can silently
-#      fall back to realtime).
-#   3. Computes the exact speed factor needed to hit a target duration
-#      (e.g. a Vivaldi movement's runtime) and re-encodes once with
-#      `setpts=PTS/factor`, hard-clipped with `-t <target>` and the music
-#      muxed in.
-# The daily/moon/four-seasons timer scripts call this helper instead of
-# assembling JPEGs directly.

-# ── Standalone bootstrap ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────

 # (Docker must already be installed when run standalone)

 # NON-DOCKER module. sky-cam produces:
-#   • Daily sunrise clip — speed-adjusted video, uploaded to Mattermost
+#   • Daily sunrise clip — speed-adjusted video (+ optional audio), uploaded to Mattermost
 #   • Four Seasons timelapse — daily clips sized to Vivaldi movements' music
 #   • Full-day timelapse — fixed-fps timelapse of every captured image
 #   • Moon-track timelapse — moon tracked & cropped each visible night
 #   • Monthly moon-phase close-ups — NASA Dial-a-Moon images posted to MM
 #
+# No motionEye or any NVR required — sky-cam's own capture.sh connects
+# directly to each camera's RTSP stream and grabs frames itself
+# (CAM_RTSP_<cam> in .env is the only thing capture.sh and the optional
+# sunrise-audio/ambient-audio recorders need). This installer prompts for
+# that per camera, so install.sh can generate every applicable systemd
+# timer/service (capture, watchdog, sunrise, audio, ambient, moon jobs,
+# per-camera seasons clips) in one pass.
