+# TranscriptorIO Backend
+
+This is the redesigned backend for TranscriptorIO, a complete fork of SubGen with modern asynchronous architecture.
+
+## 🎯 Goal
+
+Replace SubGen's synchronous non-persistent system with a modern Tdarr-inspired architecture:
+- ✅ Persistent queue (SQLite/PostgreSQL/MariaDB)
+- ✅ Asynchronous processing
+- ✅ Job prioritization
+- ✅ Complete state visibility
+- ✅ No Bazarr timeouts
+
+## 📁 Structure
+
+```
+backend/
+├── core/
+│   ├── database.py       # Multi-backend database management
+│   ├── models.py         # SQLAlchemy models (Job, etc.)
+│   ├── queue_manager.py  # Asynchronous persistent queue
+│   └── __init__.py
+├── api/                  # (coming soon) FastAPI endpoints
+├── config.py            # Centralized configuration with Pydantic
+└── README.md            # This file
+```
+
+## 🚀 Setup
+
+### 1. Install dependencies
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+### 2. Configure .env
+
+Copy `.env.example` to `.env` and adjust as needed:
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+```
+
+#### Database Options
+
+**SQLite (default)**:
+```env
+DATABASE_URL=sqlite:///./transcriptarr.db
+```
+
+**PostgreSQL**:
+```bash
+pip install psycopg2-binary
+```
+```env
+DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/transcriptarr
+```
+
+**MariaDB/MySQL**:
+```bash
+pip install pymysql
+```
+```env
+DATABASE_URL=mariadb+pymysql://user:password@localhost:3306/transcriptarr
+```
+
+### 3. Choose operation mode
+
+**Standalone Mode** (automatically scans your library):
+```env
+TRANSCRIPTARR_MODE=standalone
+LIBRARY_PATHS=/media/anime|/media/movies
+AUTO_SCAN_ENABLED=True
+SCAN_INTERVAL_MINUTES=30
+```
+
+**Provider Mode** (receives jobs from Bazarr):
+```env
+TRANSCRIPTARR_MODE=provider
+BAZARR_URL=http://bazarr:6767
+BAZARR_API_KEY=your_api_key
+```
+
+**Hybrid Mode** (both simultaneously):
+```env
+TRANSCRIPTARR_MODE=standalone,provider
+```
+
+## 🧪 Testing
+
+Run the test script to verify everything works:
+
+```bash
+python test_backend.py
+```
+
+This will verify:
+- ✓ Configuration loading
+- ✓ Database connection
+- ✓ Table creation
+- ✓ Queue operations (add, get, deduplicate)
+
+## 📊 Implemented Components
+
+### config.py
+- Centralized configuration with Pydantic
+- Automatic environment variable validation
+- Multi-backend database support
+- Operation mode configuration
+
+### database.py
+- Connection management with SQLAlchemy
+- Support for SQLite, PostgreSQL, MariaDB
+- Backend-specific optimizations
+  - SQLite: WAL mode, optimized cache
+  - PostgreSQL: connection pooling, pre-ping
+  - MariaDB: utf8mb4 charset, pooling
+- Health checks and statistics
+
+### models.py
+- Complete `Job` model with:
+  - States: queued, processing, completed, failed, cancelled
+  - Stages: pending, detecting_language, transcribing, translating, etc.
+  - Quality presets: fast, balanced, best
+  - Progress tracking (0-100%)
+  - Complete timestamps
+  - Retry logic
+  - Worker assignment
+- Optimized indexes for common queries
+
+### queue_manager.py
+- Thread-safe persistent queue
+- Job prioritization
+- Duplicate detection
+- Automatic retry for failed jobs
+- Real-time statistics
+- Automatic cleanup of old jobs
+
+## 🔄 Comparison with SubGen
+
+| Feature | SubGen | TranscriptorIO |
+|---------|--------|----------------|
+| Queue | In-memory (lost on restart) | **Persistent in DB** |
+| Processing | Synchronous (blocks threads) | **Asynchronous** |
+| Prioritization | No | **Yes (configurable)** |
+| Visibility | No progress/ETA | **Progress + real-time ETA** |
+| Deduplication | Basic (memory only) | **Persistent + intelligent** |
+| Retries | No | **Automatic with limit** |
+| Database | No | **SQLite/PostgreSQL/MariaDB** |
+| Bazarr Timeouts | Yes (>5min = 24h throttle) | **No (async)** |
+
+## 📝 Next Steps
+
+1. **Worker Pool** - Asynchronous worker system
+2. **REST API** - FastAPI endpoints for management
+3. **WebSocket** - Real-time updates
+4. **Transcriber** - Whisper wrapper with progress callbacks
+5. **Bazarr Provider** - Improved async provider
+6. **Standalone Scanner** - Automatic library scanning
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+### Error: "No module named 'backend'"
+
+Make sure to run scripts from the project root:
+```bash
+cd /home/dasemu/Hacking/Transcriptarr
+python test_backend.py
+```
+
+### Error: Database locked (SQLite)
+
+SQLite is configured with WAL mode for better concurrency. If you still have issues, consider using PostgreSQL for production.
+
+### Error: pydantic.errors.ConfigError
+
+Verify that all required variables are in your `.env`:
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+# Edit .env with your values
+```
