Use when a device's display was filmed and every value on it has to be read back, especially a meter, gauge or appliance scrolled through its stored history. Covers seven-segment and LCD panels, handheld footage, and any long series where the answer is only useful if NO value was missed. Triggers on read a meter from video, values off a display, scrolled through the readings, stored daily values, seven-segment, LCD readout, frames from a video of a screen, and on a series that has to be proven…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Video to readings

## The problem, and why the obvious tools miss it

Somebody filmed a display while scrolling through its stored values. The footage holds every number. Getting them back out is not OCR and not video summarisation, and the tools for both fail here in the same way.

![A three-by-three contact sheet. Each tile shows the same seven-segment panel carrying an index from minus one to minus nine and an invented value between 7.9 and 19.4 kWh, with its own timestamp stamped in yellow on black in the top-left corner. The fifth tile is dimmed, standing for a frame the picker rejects as unreadable.](../../docs/assets/scrolling-display-contact-sheet.png)

The picture shows the SHAPE of what this skill produces: the sharpest readable frame per time window, cropped to the panel, stamped with its own timestamp, tiled so a model reads a sheetful in one look instead of one image per frame. It is drawn, not captured, so read it as a diagram: nine tiles where a real sheet holds sixteen to twenty, and a flat synthetic panel where a real one carries noise and reflection. Measured, because the difference matters: the drawn tiles have a histogram spread of 7 to 48 levels and the…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add plexito-de/honed-skills/video-to-readings@sha256:0a07b5ed74155624

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
