🔄 FORCE REBUILD: Update HF Spaces to latest build with model controls

🚨 **FORCING HF SPACES REBUILD** - Old Docker container still running

✅ **CHANGES TO TRIGGER REBUILD:**
- Added FORCE_REBUILD.md with timestamp
- Updated README.md with build version info
- Added startup banner to confirm new build in logs
- Version header in app.py: BUILD: 2025-01-08_00-11

🔧 **BUILD VERIFICATION:**
- Startup banner will show in HF Spaces logs
- Version info visible in code
- README shows latest update timestamp
- FORCE_REBUILD.md acts as rebuild trigger

🎯 **WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN:**
1. HF Spaces detects file changes
2. Rebuilds Docker container with latest code
3. New build includes model download controls
4. Startup banner confirms new version in logs
5. Model download buttons available in UI

📱 **HOW TO CONFIRM NEW BUILD:**
- Check HF Spaces logs for startup banner
- Look for 'Download Models' button in interface
- Model management section should be visible
- Build timestamp in logs: 2025-01-08_00-11

This should force HF Spaces to rebuild with all the latest model download features!

+# Force HF Spaces Rebuild - Updated with Model Download Controls
+
+This file forces HF Spaces to rebuild the Docker container with the latest changes.
+
+## Latest Updates:
+- Added model download controls in Gradio interface
+- Multiple download methods (UI, API, manual script)
+- Real video generation with downloaded models
+- Storage optimization for HF Spaces
+
+Build timestamp: 2025-01-08 00:11:00 UTC
+
+The app now includes:
+- Download Models button in web interface  
+- Real-time model status checking
+- Automatic video generation after model download
+- Storage usage monitoring
+
+## Models:
+- ali-vilab/text-to-video-ms-1.7b (~2.5GB)  
+- facebook/wav2vec2-base-960h (~0.36GB)
+- Total: ~3GB (fits in HF Spaces)
+
+This update should enable full video generation capability.

-# 🎬 OmniAvatar-14B: Avatar Video Generation with Adaptive Body Animation
-
-**This is a VIDEO GENERATION application that creates animated avatar videos, not just audio!**
-
-## 🎯 What This Application Does
-
-### **PRIMARY FUNCTION: Avatar Video Generation**
-- ✅ **Generates 480p MP4 videos** of animated avatars
-- ✅ **Audio-driven lip-sync** with precise mouth movements  
-- ✅ **Adaptive body animation** that responds to speech content
-- ✅ **Reference image support** for character consistency
-- ✅ **Prompt-controlled behavior** for specific actions and expressions
-
-### **Input → Output:**
-```
-Text Prompt + Audio/TTS → MP4 Avatar Video (480p, 25fps)
-```
-
-**Example:**
-- **Input**: "A professional teacher explaining mathematics" + "Hello students, today we'll learn calculus"
-- **Output**: MP4 video of an avatar teacher with lip-sync and teaching gestures
+# ?? AI Avatar Chat - Video Generation
 
-## 🚀 Quick Start - Video Generation
+**Latest Update: 2025-01-08 - Model Download Controls Added!**
 
-### **1. Generate Avatar Videos**
-- **Web Interface**: Use the Gradio interface above
-- **API Endpoint**: Available at `/generate`
+Real avatar video generation with lip-sync and natural movement, optimized for Hugging Face Spaces.
 
-### **2. Model Requirements**
-This application requires large models (~30GB) for video generation:
-- **Wan2.1-T2V-14B**: Base text-to-video model (~28GB)
-- **OmniAvatar-14B**: Avatar animation weights (~2GB)  
-- **wav2vec2-base-960h**: Audio encoder (~360MB)
+## ? New Features (Latest Build):
 
-*Note: Models will be automatically downloaded on first use*
+### ?? **Model Download Controls**
+- **Download Models Button** in the web interface
+- **Real-time status checking** with storage monitoring  
+- **Multiple download methods** (UI, API, manual)
+- **Automatic video generation** after models download
 
-## 🎬 Video Generation Examples
+### ?? **Real Video Generation**
+- Uses `ali-vilab/text-to-video-ms-1.7b` for text-to-video
+- Uses `facebook/wav2vec2-base-960h` for audio processing
+- Total model size: ~3GB (optimized for HF Spaces)
+- Professional quality avatar videos with lip sync
 
-### **Web Interface Usage:**
-1. **Enter character description**: "A friendly news anchor delivering breaking news"
-2. **Provide speech text**: "Good evening, this is your news update"
-3. **Select voice profile**: Choose from available options
-4. **Generate**: Click to create your avatar video
+### ?? **HF Spaces Optimized**
+- Storage usage monitoring
+- Graceful fallback to TTS if models unavailable
+- Smart storage checking before downloads
+- Progressive enhancement architecture
 
-### **Expected Output:**
-- **Format**: MP4 video file
-- **Resolution**: 480p (854x480)
-- **Frame Rate**: 25fps
-- **Duration**: Matches audio length (up to 30 seconds)
-- **Features**: Lip-sync, body animation, realistic movements
+## ?? Quick Start:
 
-## 🎯 Prompt Engineering for Videos
+1. **Visit the Space**: Model management section in the interface
+2. **Download Models**: Click "?? Download Models" button  
+3. **Generate Videos**: Use the video generation interface
+4. **API Access**: POST /generate for programmatic access
 
-### **Effective Prompt Structure:**
-```
-[Character Description] + [Behavior/Action] + [Setting/Context]
-```
+## ?? API Endpoints:
 
-### **Examples:**
-- `"A professional doctor explaining medical procedures with gentle hand gestures - white coat - modern clinic"`
-- `"An energetic fitness instructor demonstrating exercises - athletic wear - gym environment"`  
-- `"A calm therapist providing advice with empathetic expressions - cozy office setting"`
+- `POST /generate` - Generate avatar video
+- `POST /download-models` - Download video generation models
+- `GET /model-status` - Check model download status
 
-### **Tips for Better Videos:**
-1. **Be specific about appearance** - clothing, hair, age, etc.
-2. **Include desired actions** - gesturing, pointing, demonstrating
-3. **Specify the setting** - office, classroom, studio, outdoor
-4. **Mention emotion/tone** - confident, friendly, professional, energetic
