## 🔍 Low-Hanging Features to Consolidate
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. **Error Handling & Retry Logic** ⚠️ HIGH PRIORITY
|
||||
**Current State**: Basic error handling, no retry logic for video generation
|
||||
**Opportunity**: Add robust retry with exponential backoff (like `ProductImageService`)
|
||||
|
||||
**Implementation**:
|
||||
- Add retry wrapper in `YouTubeVideoRendererService.render_scene_video()`
|
||||
- Handle transient API errors (503, timeouts)
|
||||
- Skip retries for validation errors (4xx)
|
||||
- Update task status with retry attempts
|
||||
|
||||
**Files to Modify**:
|
||||
- `backend/services/youtube/renderer.py`
|
||||
- Add `_render_with_retry()` method
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. **Video Generation Service Consolidation** 🔄 MEDIUM PRIORITY

|
||||
- Use blog title/outline as video plan input
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
**Files to Modify**:
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
1. **Error handling** with retries
|
||||
2. **Cost estimation** before rendering
|
||||
3. **Blog Writer integration** for content conversion
|
||||
4. **Better progress feedback** and partial success handling
|
||||
|
||||
These improvements can be implemented incrementally without disrupting the existing functionality.
