Summary

The most popular model on internet right now is minimax h3 for video creation, only the sd-cli supports the important flags
--ref-video --ref-video-audio --ref-audio. These are absolutely needed in sd-server to even compete against comfyUI, or do a proper video.

The vid_gen HTTP endpoint parsed ref_images but silently dropped the
audio/video reference fields, so CLI-style reference workflows
(MiniMax-H3 Ref2VA, Wan S2V driving audio) could not be reproduced
over the API. Add base64 array parsing for ref_videos (nested frame
arrays), ref_audios, and ref_video_audios, with load_wav_from_memory
extracted from load_wav_from_file to parse in-memory payloads.

Checklist

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Video generation supports reference audio and reference video inputs alongside reference images. Audio can be provided as base64-encoded WAV data, and video as arrays of base64-encoded image frames.
    • WAV audio can be loaded directly from in-memory data.
    • Video-generation capabilities now report support for reference audio and video options, which are available in the relevant generation presets.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Invalid or incomplete WAV and reference-input data is rejected. Audio and video references are limited to video-generation requests, and audio references are validated against supplied videos.

📝 Walkthrough

The change adds in-memory WAV parsing and JSON support for reference audio and video inputs. Server feature defaults, recipe declarations, and video-generation capability mapping now include reference media features.

Changes: Reference audio and video inputs

Layer / File(s) Summary
In-memory WAV parsing
examples/common/media_io.h, examples/common/media_io.cpp
The media API adds load_wav_from_memory. The file loader reads the WAV into memory and delegates parsing and sample decoding to the new function. The parser checks chunk boundaries and rejects invalid or truncated data.
Reference media JSON parsing
examples/common/common.cpp
JSON parsing handles ref_audios, ref_video_audios, and ref_videos. Missing fields leave existing values unchanged, and null clears the corresponding collection. Invalid shapes, base64 data, or media decoding cause parsing to fail. Validation includes parsed inputs alongside path-based inputs.
Server reference media features
examples/server/model_catalog.cpp, examples/server/recipes/minimax-h3-ref2va.json, examples/server/recipes/wan22-s2v.json, examples/server/routes_sdcpp.cpp
The recipe feature defaults add ref_videos, ref_audios, and ref_video_audios, disabled by default. The recipes add their specified reference media features. Video-generation capabilities advertise these keys and map their values from generation features.

Clients can submit advertised Ref2VA inputs that generation rejects. Correct the recipe’s task-specific declarations before merging, and account for the generic keyframe advertisement.

Explanation

The title names the main change: adding ref_videos, ref_audios, and ref_video_audios support to the sdcpp vid_gen server endpoint. The raw summary confirms parsing for these fields in routes, common.cpp, and recipes, and the objectives describe the same goal. The title is specific and matches the changeset.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the Summary section with the motivation and the change. It explains that vid_gen parsed ref_images but dropped the audio and video reference fields, and that base64 array parsing and load_wav_from_memory were added. The Checklist is present and checked. The Related Issue / Discussion section is missing, and the Additional Information section has no verification notes. The Summary also includes a sentence about model popularity that adds little technical context.

Resolution

Add a Related Issue / Discussion entry, such as PR #2194 or a linked issue, if one exists. Add Additional Information with verification notes, such as tests run or sample requests for ref_videos, ref_audios, and ref_video_audios. Optionally remove the popularity remark from the Summary so the section stays focused on the technical change.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 52.94% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 17 functions across 5 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Review comments at @examples/common/common.cpp:
- Around line 2410-2413: After parsing the reference media arrays in the request
handler, validate decoded containers against the CLI rules: reject when
ref_video_audios has more entries than ref_videos, and reject ref_videos or
ref_audios for non-VID_GEN requests. Ensure the checks run before conversion so
none of these references are silently ignored.

Review comments at @examples/common/media_io.cpp:
- Around line 1528-1531: Update the chunk bounds checks in load_wav_from_memory
to compare chunk_size and data_size against the bytes remaining from
chunk_data_pos or data_pos, rather than adding attacker-controlled sizes to
offsets. Compute next_pos only after confirming the chunk size and padding fit,
and preserve the existing end-of-buffer clamp behavior.

🟡 Minor · Reject empty per-video frame arrays during parsing. · common.cpp:2031-2066

examples/common/common.cpp:2031-2066
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject empty per-video frame arrays during parsing.

ref_videos: [[]] is accepted by parse_video_array_json_field, so /sdcpp/v1/vid_gen queues the job and rejects the request later, inside generation. A malformed frame is rejected synchronously with HTTP 400. The empty array should fail the same way.

Suggested fix
        if (!video.is_array()) {
            return false;
        }
+       if (video.empty()) {

🟠 Major · Register ref_video_audios in all video feature metadata paths. · model_catalog.cpp:315-316

examples/server/model_catalog.cpp:315-316
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Register ref_video_audios in all video feature metadata paths.

ref_video_audios is parsed and consumed as a per-video input, but recipes cannot declare it because k_recipe_features rejects the missing name. Clients also cannot discover it because make_vid_gen_features_json() omits it. The recipe feature mapping omits it as well. Add the distinct feature to all three locations. Keep ref_audios for standalone audio references.
