The 10 biggest football channels on YouTube (Brasileirão, European football, the transfer market and controversies), transcribed, checked and summed up in a video with the source on screen and Nei commenting.
futviral is a system that makes, on its own, vertical videos (9:16) of 2 to 3 minutes summing up what the 10 biggest football channels on YouTube said: Brasileirão, European football, the transfer market, controversies and the business of football. It "watches" the videos through their transcripts, pulls out the facts and numbers with the source of each one, and builds a video with big numbers, stamps (RUMOR, NEGOCIANDO, FECHADO, POLÊMICA — rumor, negotiating, done deal, controversy) and Nei (Nei Maldaner, creator of INEMA) commenting as an avatar. A rumor is treated as a rumor, no club gets a side and betting is left out. It's for anyone who wants to know, in a few minutes, what the main channels are talking about. It runs on a computer with a GPU, using the Claude Code and HeyGen subscriptions.
futviral reads what the channels published, checks every fact against the transcript and publishes a finished video. The video reports what each channel said, always with the source, without rooting for anyone.
Every fact or number must be in the transcript, with the literal excerpt. Channel, date and title appear on screen. Scores, transfer fees and release clauses only go in if the channel said them.
A signing, departure or coach sacking only becomes "fechado" (done deal) when the club confirms it; before that it's "rumor" or "negociando" (negotiating). Everything is attributed to whoever said it, with no rooting. Betting is left out.
Script with claude -p (subscription, no API), local transcription with Whisper and avatar through the HeyGen studio. HeyGen's plan-change offer is always declined.
Steps chained by auto/rodar.sh. If the check fails twice, the video is not made. A slow day doesn't become a video either: the bot gets "sem pauta" (nothing to report).
Lists the videos from the channels in canais.json (metadata only, yt-dlp), picks the most viewed from each channel first (up to 3 per channel, never repeating a video already used and skipping videos/lives over 75 min), takes the YouTube caption and, if there isn't one, downloads the audio and transcribes it locally (inemavox, Whisper large-v3; in English for Fabrizio Romano).
claude -p reads the transcripts and writes base.md (each fact, who said it, the video and the literal excerpt), roteiro.json (lines and visuals) and legenda.txt.
auto/checar.py checks the excerpts against the transcript, numbers spelled out in words in the speech, at least 5 topics, the notice "Rumor só vale quando o clube confirma." (A rumor only counts when the club confirms it.), the inema.club CTA, and rejects any line about betting. If it fails: it goes back once for correction.
HeyGen generates Nei's avatar through the studio (subscription). If it fails, a version with Nei's photo and voice comes out, which only goes to the bot.
motor/palco.html is rendered frame by frame by Playwright, with counters, stamps and the source on screen. The image is the thumbnail of the channel's video: plays, goals and club crests are left out.
On the schedule, the finished video first goes to bot v3 as a preview; at noon auto/publicar-pendente.sh publishes it to YouTube Inema Club24 (lives24) through yt-pubx and sends the link to the bot.
Each run is a mode of auto/rodar.sh. The schedule (timers in systemd/) is on: generation runs at 09:00 and publishing at 12:00, outside the hours of the sibling projects that use the same GPU and the same HeyGen.
diario runThe summary of the ten, 2 to 3 minutes: yesterday's and the day before's videos not used yet, with at least five topics (one per channel whenever possible). If fewer than five channels published in those two days, the window widens to five days.semanal runReview of the week (the 7 days up to yesterday), 2 to 3 minutes. Then the long 16:9 "A semana explicada" (The week explained) (5.5 to 7 minutes).domingo runWhat the channels expect for the coming week (big derbies, deciding matches, coaches under pressure, negotiations), 2 to 3 minutes. Then the long 16:9 explained video (5.5 to 7 minutes).Chosen on 10/26/2026 by our own measurement (yt-dlp, median views of the last 15 videos, active channel with spoken content). Highlight channels, fan-reaction channels and betting channels were left out. Details in pesquisa/canais.md (in Portuguese).
Eurão (recaps and stories from European football), Fabrizio Romano (global transfer market, in English) and Fred Caldeira (European football and opinion).
Jovem Pan Esportes (news and debate), Jozão (opinion on the matches), Chico Garcia (Brasileirão) and Mauro Cezar (opinion and controversy).
Tode (daily transfer market), Canal do Nicola (Brazilian market and behind the scenes) and TiaGOL (analysis and the business of football).
futviral is not a standalone app: it uses other tools from the INEMA ecosystem, all in ~/projetos/, on a computer with a GPU. The repository lives in ~/projetos/futviral (the systemd timers and the links point there).
yt-dlp to list and download. inemavox (~/projetos/inemavox, with baixar_v1.py and transcrever_v1.py) is the local download and transcription kit with Whisper.
Node with Playwright and ffmpeg. motor/node_modules is a link to ~/projetos/eventosextremospub/motor/node_modules; without that project, run npm install playwright in motor/.
claude (Claude Code logged in with the subscription, called as claude -p). The weekend long video uses the ~/projetos/explicavideos/engine/v2 engine.
The HeyGen studio open in a browser on a virtual screen (Xvfb :99), with the explicavideos project's already logged-in profile. Without it, the run comes out with Nei's photo and cloned voice (Chatterbox, voice nei, through the ~/projetos/cardshorts project).
yt-pubx (~/projetos/yt-pubx), the tool that publishes to YouTube; lives24 is its name for the Inema Club24 channel.
bot v3 is Nei's Telegram bot that receives every video and notice, through the script ~/projetos/refazvideo/ferramentas/enviar_bot_v3.mjs.
Real commands from the repository, run from the project root.
futviral lives in ~/projetos/futviral and uses public INEMA projects next to it. It also needs yt-dlp, ffmpeg, node and claude logged in with the subscription.
cd ~/projetos git clone https://github.com/inematds/futviral for r in inemavox yt-pubx cardshorts explicavideos refazvideo eventosextremospub; do git clone https://github.com/inematds/$r done
Each sibling has its own README with the setup: the channel credentials in yt-pubx, the Telegram bot in refazvideo, the HeyGen studio profile and the virtual screen in explicavideos, transcription in inemavox and the voice in cardshorts. The test in step 3 already needs inemavox, cardshorts and refazvideo; publishing needs all of them.
The list is in canais.json. To pause a channel without deleting it, use "ativo": false. The handle is the channel's path on YouTube, rk is the label shown on screen and lang is the channel's language for Whisper (default pt).
{"handle": "channel/UCX1em-uaFMS02Rrk_Bowyng", "nome": "Fabrizio Romano", "rk": "MERCADO MUNDIAL", "lang": "en", "ativo": true}
If another established football channel stands out, the system suggests adding it in the bot message (never an up-and-coming channel or a betting one). It only goes in with Nei's OK.
Do a run without HeyGen, without the long video and without sending to the bot or to YouTube. It still uses claude -p (subscription quota), downloads the audio and keeps the GPU busy with Whisper. The terminal stays quiet: the output goes to the edition's log.
SEM_AVATAR=1 SEM_BOT=1 SEM_LONGO=1 auto/rodar.sh diario # test: no HeyGen, no long video and nothing sent tail -f edicoes/$(date +%F)-diario/rodada.log # follow along
The edicoes/AAAA-MM-DD-diario/ folder holds base.md, roteiro.json, legenda.txt, checar.log and the finished video (video.mp4).
Pass the mode and the date. The full run generates the avatar, publishes to lives24 and sends to the bot.
auto/rodar.sh diario 2026-10-26 # full run (avatar + lives24 + bot) SEM_AVATAR=1 auto/rodar.sh diario 2026-10-26 # photo version, bot only REUSAR_ROTEIRO=1 auto/rodar.sh diario 2026-10-26 # redo avatar/video/publishing with the script already approved VALIDAR=1 auto/rodar.sh diario 2026-10-26 # test edition (-validacao folder), never goes to YouTube
Add the date and the mode to auto/pular.txt.
echo "2026-11-01 semanal" >> auto/pular.txt # skip a run
Generation at 09:00 (diario Monday to Friday, semanal on Saturday, domingo on Sunday) and publishing at 12:00. Copy the units to the user systemd and enable the four timers. To hold the publication of a video that already went to the bot as a preview, create the file SEGURAR (hold) in the edition folder.
cp systemd/futviral-* ~/.config/systemd/user/ && systemctl --user daemon-reload systemctl --user enable --now futviral-diario.timer futviral-semanal.timer futviral-domingo.timer futviral-publicar.timer systemctl --user list-timers 'futviral-*' touch edicoes/2026-10-27-diario/SEGURAR # don't publish this edition at 12:00
On the schedule, bot v3 gets the preview at 09:00 and the Inema Club24 (lives24) link after noon. A run by hand (step 4) publishes right away. If there's nothing to report or something fails, the bot gets the notice.
The script and the check gate follow these rules.
Only facts that are in the transcript go in, with channel, date and title on screen and the literal excerpt in base.md.
"Rumor só vale quando o clube confirma." (A rumor only counts when the club confirms it.) in every video; a transfer is "rumor" or "negociando" (negotiating) until the club confirms it.
Everything is attributed to whoever said it. A controversy is what THEY said; no club gets a side.
No bets, odds or tips. The gate rejects the line.
Plays, goals, match images and club crests are left out (broadcast rights). The screen uses numbers, tables, stamps and the thumbnail of the channel's video.
Spoken in Nei's tone (addressing the viewer as "você"), with numbers spelled out in words. At the end, a question to comment on and the inema.club CTA.
