import sqlite3
def get_connection(db_path: str) -> sqlite3.Connection:
conn = sqlite3.connect(db_path, check_same_thread=False)
conn.row_factory = sqlite3.Row # Dict-like access
conn.execute("PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL") # Better concurrency
conn.execute("PRAGMA foreign_keys=ON")
return conn
from contextlib import contextmanager
@contextmanager
def db_transaction(conn: sqlite3.Connection):
try:
yield conn
conn.commit()
except Exception:
conn.rollback()
raise
Enable for concurrent read/write:
conn.execute("PRAGMA journal_mode=WAL")
| Mode | Reads | Writes | Best For | |------|-------|--------|----------| | DELETE (default) | Blocked during write | Single | Simple scripts | | WAL | Concurrent | Single | Web apps, MCP servers |
| Issue | Solution |
|-------|----------|
| "database is locked" | Use WAL mode |
| Slow queries | Add indexes, check EXPLAIN QUERY PLAN |
| Thread safety | Use check_same_thread=False |
| FK not enforced | Run PRAGMA foreign_keys=ON |
sqlite3 mydb.sqlite # Open database
.tables # Show tables
.schema items # Show schema
.headers on && .mode csv && .output data.csv # Export CSV
VACUUM; # Reclaim space

yt-dlp operations - the media ACQUISITION layer that feeds ffmpeg-ops: format selection (-S sort vs -f filters) that avoids post-download transcodes, --download-sections clip-at-download, audio-only extraction for STT pipelines (-x --audio-format opus), playlists + --download-archive incremental channel syncs, cookies/auth (--cookies-from-browser), rate limiting and politeness, SponsorBlock mark/remove, output templates (-o), subtitle download (--write-subs/--write-auto-subs), remux-vs-recode doctrine, and failure triage (403s, throttling, geo blocks, the nsig-extraction class that means yt-dlp is outdated). Triggers on: yt-dlp, ytdlp, youtube-dl, download video, download youtube, download from youtube, download playlist, download channel, archive channel, channel sync, rip audio, youtube to mp3, youtube to mp4, save video, grab video, video downloader, download subtitles, download transcript, clip from youtube, download section, sponsorblock, cookies-from-browser, download-archive, nsig, requested format is not available, sign in to confirm, download livestream, record stream, live-from-start, premiere, impersonate.
