This commit introduces a unified transcript provider system, allowing users to choose between three transcription backends: local OpenAI Whisper, faster-whisper, and AssemblyAI. The default behavior uses AssemblyAI when its API key is present, otherwise falls back to local Whisper.

Key changes:

  • Add TRANSCRIPT_PROVIDER environment variable to select transcription provider
  • Add new runtime settings for Whisper language, faster-whisper device and compute type
  • Update all project documentation including README, QUICKSTART and config docs
  • Add admin UI settings for all new configuration keys
  • Add comprehensive unit tests for provider selection and new backends
  • Refactor video utilities to support all three transcript providers
  • Maintain backward compatibility for existing WHISPER_MODEL_SIZE env var
  • Add faster-whisper Python dependency
  • Update mediapipe dependency constraints for non-linux aarch64 systems

Add support for using OpenAI-compatible endpoints like vLLM by introducing the OPENAI_BASE_URL runtime configuration option. Changes include:
- Register OPENAI_BASE_URL in runtime settings and environment processing
- Add admin UI metadata for the new configuration setting
- Update .env examples and docker-compose environment passing
- Extend Config class to load and resolve the custom base URL
- Modify AI model builder to use custom base URL for OpenAI providers
- Add unit tests for the new config and model loading logic
- Update documentation across README, QUICKSTART, and configuration docs
use faster_whisper + Ollama qwen2.5:7b as the recommended local self-hosted setup, replace the previous Google Gemini default, adjust default processing parameters, update environment variable defaults, and refresh troubleshooting guidance
