The old search did a 4.5s slskd search + 8s wait; slskd responses trickle in over
10-30s, so the window closed before results arrived (you'd see them in slskd but the
panel said none). Now it works like the music side:
- slskd_search.start_search() (uses the shared soulseek.search_timeout) + poll_responses().
- POST /downloads/search/start (mock = immediate; soulseek = returns a search id) +
GET /downloads/search/poll. Shared _evaluate_hits ranks each poll's hits.
- UI streams: starts the search, polls every 1.3s, renders results live with a
'searching…' badge, stops when results plateau (4 stable polls) or ~32s. Live
re-renders suppress per-card entrance so it doesn't blink.
Tests green, ruff clean.
The blink was every poll re-running each card's entrance animation via innerHTML
churn. Now cards are created ONCE and PATCHED in place (data-st attribute swaps,
progress width glides over a 1.4s transition, meta only rewrites when its text
changes), so nothing re-animates on a tick — the music-downloads smoothness.
Also: adaptive polling (1.5s while active, 6s idle), border/pill colours TRANSITION
on status change, downloading cards get an accent tint + glow, a relative 'started Xs
ago', and the % moved inline. Balance clean.
Phase 3 — the UX:
- Grab button now actually grabs (Soulseek results only — they carry the slskd
username/filename): POSTs /downloads/grab with the result + search context, shows
✓ on success, toasts 'Sent to Downloads', fires a refresh event. Endpoint returns
size_bytes for the payload.
- New Downloads PAGE (video-downloads-page.js, .vdpg-*): every grab lands here.
Polls /downloads/active while open and shows live status — type icon (🎬/📺/▶️),
title + release, a pulsing 'Downloading' pill with a shimmering progress bar, then
'Completed' with the file's library destination (→ /media/movies/…), or 'Failed'
with the reason. Clear-finished button, empty state, staggered entrance, vibes.
Reduced-motion honored. JS/CSS/HTML balance clean (verified w/ a real tokenizer).
- Result meta now adapts to the source: Soulseek shows '👤 uploader · N peers · N
slots' (real slskd availability); torrent/usenet keep '▲ seeders' (still mock).
- Results header shows a '● live' badge for real slskd searches vs an amber 'demo
data' badge for the still-mocked sources — so it's never ambiguous again.
- slskd errors ('not configured', network) surface as a clear ⚠ line in the panel.
JS/CSS balance clean.
- Each source now has its OWN results panel under its row (movie + episode), and
the search passes the source through — so Soulseek / Torrent / Usenet each show
their own distinct hits instead of one shared identical list.
- Card redesign for readability: a big colour-coded RESOLUTION tile (4K gold /
1080p accent / 720p blue / SD) anchors each row; a plain-English quality summary
leads (e.g. 'BluRay · X265 · DTS-HD' + an HDR/REPACK tag); the raw release name is
demoted to a single muted truncated line; size · seeders · group sit below; the
verdict pill (✓ Meets profile / ✕ reason) and ⤓ Grab stay on the right.
Dropped the old break-all mono title + badge-row layout. JS/CSS balance clean.
Wires the four scopes to the /downloads/search pipeline and renders beautiful,
profile-aware result cards (mock indexer for now):
- Movie: per-source ⌕ / Search all → movie scope.
- Episode: expand an episode → per-source ⌕ → episode scope (its own results panel).
- Season: the season ⌕ → SEASON-PACK scope, results under the season header.
- Whole show: top-bar 'Search whole show' → complete-SERIES-pack scope.
Each card shows the full release name (mono), colour-coded quality badges
(resolution/source/codec/HDR/audio/repack), size, seeders, and a verdict — green
'✓ Meets profile' or a dimmed '✕ <reason>' (e.g. not in your enabled tiers, wrong
season, over size cap). Accepted hits sort first and carry a ⤓ Grab button (stub).
Spinner while searching; staggered card entrance; reduced-motion honoured.
Replaced the faux-scan stubs. JS/CSS balance clean.
Shows now get their own download experience instead of the movie layout. Clicking
Download on a show WIDENS the modal (~680→940px, animated) and renders a tree:
- Quality target chips + a show summary (N seasons · M episodes · X in library ·
Y missing) + a master select-all + a primary 'Search N selected'.
- Season cards (collapsible) with a tri-state season checkbox, 'N eps · M missing',
and a per-season search button (auto-opens the season to reveal the scan).
- Episode rows: checkbox, E# · title, In library/Missing/Upcoming badge. Default
selection = everything you're MISSING (owned shown but unticked, upcoming locked).
- Each episode expands inline to its branded per-source search strip (Soulseek/
Torrent/Usenet), so you can grab one episode à la carte; or batch via the season/
bulk buttons. Searches are the same faux-scan stub — no backend yet.
Library shows use shipped episodes; tmdb shows prefetch seasons via the existing
/tmdb/show/<id>/season/<n> endpoint. get-modal stashes the detail + tvId and routes
shows to VideoDownload.render({kind:'show',…}); movie/youtube paths unchanged.
Vibey: staggered entrance, branded scan bars, smooth collapse. Reduced-motion honored.
JS + CSS balance clean.
- Removed the 'Automatic searching arrives…' footnote.
- Sources rows are no longer tame: each carries its own brand colour (Soulseek
blue / Torrent amber / Usenet purple / YouTube red) driving a tinted gradient
row, a left accent rail, a glowing brand icon TILE, and an in-brand hover lift
with a coloured shadow. A live pulsing status DOT sits by the label, the Search
button is brand-tinted, and the scan bar/'Searching…' state now glow in the
source's own colour. Reduced-motion still honoured.
CSS + JS balance clean.
Pure motion polish on the in-place download view:
- Staggered entrance — the view's blocks rise in sequence; target chips pop in
with a spring + a one-shot sheen sweep; source rows slide in cascaded.
- Quality chips glow on hover in the modal's vibe hue; source rows lift/shift
with a playful emoji wiggle.
- Owned verdict badge pops in (spring); 'pending' breathes while checking; the
'Eligible for upgrade' badge gets a soft amber glow pulse.
- 'Search all' button pulses to draw the eye + a sheen sweep on hover.
- Stub search is now a satisfying faux-SCAN: the row shows 'Searching…' with
animated dots + a moving scan bar, then resolves to 'coming soon' (staggered
across rows on 'search all', so it ripples). Still no backend.
- Honors prefers-reduced-motion (keeps layout, drops the motion).
CSS + JS balance clean.
Per feedback — one modal with a view transition beats close+open. Clicking
'Download' now swaps the get-modal's detail body for the download view (quality
target + owned verdict + per-source search) with a '← Back to details' button;
the selection-only sections (episodes/next/follow) and the Full page/Download/Add
buttons collapse, the all-related movie bits stay.
- video-download-modal.js → video-download-view.js: now a reusable RENDERER,
VideoDownload.render(container, opts), not its own overlay. A future YouTube
trigger can render the same view into its own container (still universal).
- get-modal: enterDownload/exitDownload toggle the in-place view; stashes the
owned file on modalState to feed the verdict. Removed the separate .vdl
overlay/hero/close CSS; added .vgm-dl/.vgm-back + [hidden] guards; chips now
pick up the modal's --vgm-h vibe hue.
Pure front-end; balance + div + css brace checks clean.
Adds a 'Download' action to the get-modal that closes it and opens a new universal
Download modal (VideoDownload.open) shared by movies, shows and YouTube:
- Quality TARGET shown as chips, read live from the profile you configured
(cutoff / codec / HDR / rejects / size for p2p; resolution/codec/container/
60fps/HDR for YouTube).
- Owned copies get a REAL verdict: 'In your library · 720p · BluRay · X265' +
a 'Meets your target' / 'Eligible for upgrade' badge with reasons, via
/downloads/evaluate (the quality_eval seam).
- Per-source rows (soulseek/torrent/usenet from the download config, or yt-dlp
for YouTube) each with a Search button + a 'Search all'.
Per the ask, the searches are STUBS — clicking flips the row to 'coming soon'; no
backend yet (that's the engine phase). Beautiful .vdl-* styling mirrors the get-modal
vibe (per-title hue glow). New JS file wired into index.html. Pure front-end.
Addressing UX feedback (Boulder): the cutoff and size guard were confusing for a
library that holds BOTH movies and TV.
- 'Upgrade until' is now a LOOSE resolution target (4K / 1080p / 720p / SD /
'best — never stop'), not a specific source×resolution tier. 4K is always in
the list regardless of which tiers are toggled on (the old dropdown only
listed enabled tiers, so 4K vanished when off). Stored as cutoff_resolution.
- Size guard split into Max movie size + Max episode size (runtime-aware, like
Radarr's MB/min but human-readable) — a flat GB cap was meaningless across a
2-hour movie and a 25-min episode. Dropped the confusing min slider.
Pure-logic + API + UI in lockstep; removed the now-dead per-row cutoff marker.
12 tests green, ruff clean, JS/HTML balance clean.
Rebuilds the Video Quality Profile card to match the new Radarr-class model:
- Quality ladder: one ranked, toggleable source×resolution list (Remux·4K …
SDTV) reusing the .hybrid-source-item styling (parity with Download Source).
The cutoff tier shows an accent rail + 'cutoff' tag.
- Upgrade until: a styled dropdown of the enabled tiers (the cutoff).
- Never grab: red toggle chips for the hard rejects (cam/screener/workprint/3d/x264).
- Preferences: segmented controls for codec (Any/HEVC/AV1), HDR (Don't care/
Prefer/Require), audio (Any/Surround/Lossless/Atmos) + a Prefer REPACK check —
all soft tie-breakers.
- Size guard: min + max GB sliders (0 = no limit).
Dropped the old resolutions/source_priority/single-codec/fallback widgets. JS
delegation rewritten for the new data-vq-* hooks; same-verdict-as-HEAD balance,
div balance clean. Pure UI on the isolated video Downloads tab.
Consistency — the Resolution order and Preferred-source order lists now use the exact
same .hybrid-source-item markup/CSS (card + arrows + priority number + pill toggle) as
the Download Source hybrid list, instead of the bespoke .vq-row styling. Resolution
keeps its enable toggle; source is order-only (no toggle), no brand icon (they're not
branded sources). Removed the now-dead .vq-row/.vq-arrow/.vq-toggle/.vq-rows CSS.
Pure UI; data-vq-* hooks preserved so the existing delegation/handlers are unchanged.
- Hidden leftover music sections: the broad hide rule now targets ANY
[data-stg='downloads']:not([data-video-only]), not just .settings-group — so the
music Quality-Profile tile (#quality-profile-tile) and the Retry-Logic collapsible
(which are divs/section-headers, not .settings-group) no longer show as dead,
un-openable shells on the video side.
- Reordered: Download + Transfer folders now come BEFORE the Download Source section.
- slskd connection section is now COLLAPSIBLE (collapsed by default) — it was a lot of
fields; uses the same settings-section-header/body pattern as music's Retry Logic.
- Hybrid chain now reuses music's .hybrid-source-item markup/CSS for visual PARITY
(icon + name + priority + pill toggle + arrows), minus the album/track badge.
- Quality profile copy clarified: 'Resolutions to accept' (order = preference) vs
'Preferred source (tie-breaker)', clearer per-control hints.
Pure UI (markup/CSS/JS); backend + tests unchanged. JS verdict matches HEAD, HTML divs balanced.
Foundation for the isolated video download settings. The Downloads tab is almost
entirely music-specific, so on the video side the music download sections are hidden
(video-side.css) and a data-video-only 'Video Download Folders' section takes their
place — an input (download) and output (transfer/library) folder, stored SEPARATELY
from the music soulseek.* paths in video.db's video_settings KV table.
- api/video/downloads.py: GET/POST /api/video/downloads/config (download_path,
transfer_path), registered in the video blueprint. Imports nothing from music.
- video-settings.js: loadDownloads/saveDownloads wired into onPageShown + the
video save-button chain.
- The shared 'Indexers & Downloaders' tab is left untouched (identical for both).
2 tests (round-trip + the isolation guard). Quality profile, video hybrid, and the
shared slskd block are the next phases.
Fourth service. Rides the YouTube-video enrich path (like RYD/SponsorBlock), keyless,
on by default → toggle in the YouTube-Extras frame.
- DeArrowWorker: fetches the branding API and stores the first non-original crowd
title for a cached YouTube video. apply_youtube_dearrow + youtube_video_dearrow_title
DB methods; dearrow_status added to the youtube_enrich next/breakdown whitelists.
- Schema: dearrow_title/status/attempted on youtube_video_stats (video_schema.sql +
_COLUMN_MIGRATIONS for existing DBs).
- config GET/POST dearrow_enabled; manager orb (blue 🏹, video-kind) + status poll;
YT video-detail panel shows a 'DeArrow' alt-title (payload via youtube.py + CSS).
- 4 new tests + fixed-set/config assertions.
30 backfill tests green. (My change is ruff-clean; the 12 pre-existing S110s in
api/video/youtube.py are unrelated tech debt on this branch, left untouched.)
Third service. Keyless GraphQL (new _http_post_json helper) → enable toggle in the
'Community Data (No Key)' frame, OFF by default (anime-niche + title-search match).
- AniListWorker: TV-only, searches AniList by title and stores the anime averageScore
(0-100), with a conservative normalized-title guard so a fuzzy anime search can't
attach a score to a non-anime show. anilist_enabled toggle (default off).
- DB: anilist_score/status/attempted on shows + _BACKFILL/_BACKFILL_COLS (keyed on
title); show_detail returns anilist_score.
- config GET/POST anilist_enabled (default 0); manager orb (blue 🎌) + status poll;
detail page 'AniList 85%' chip (+ CSS).
- 4 new tests (incl. the title-mismatch rejection) + fixed-set/config assertions.
27 backfill tests green, ruff clean. (Note: the youtube_status_route test still
flaps on the sandbox WSL WAL disk-I/O — environmental, unrelated.)
Second service. Keyless (no API key) → an enable toggle in a new 'Community Data
(No Key)' connections frame, mirroring the YouTube-Extras pattern.
- TVmazeWorker: TV-only (no movie DB), looks a show up by imdb/thetvdb id and
gap-fills the TVmaze community rating. On by default; tvmaze_enabled toggle.
- DB: tvmaze_rating/status/attempted on shows + _BACKFILL/_BACKFILL_COLS (show only);
show_detail returns tvmaze_rating.
- config GET/POST tvmaze_enabled; manager orb (teal 📺, show-kind) + status poll;
detail page TVmaze rating chip (+ CSS).
- 4 new tests + the 3 fixed-set/config-exact assertions updated.
Note: one UNRELATED test (youtube_status_route) flaps on a WSL WAL 'disk I/O error'
in this sandbox (pass/fail/fail across reruns of identical code) — environmental, not
this change; the TVmaze + config tests pass consistently.
First of the new enrichment services, wired to the SAME standard as the rest:
- TraktWorker backfill (core/video/enrichment/backfill.py): looks a title up by its
IMDb id (?extended=full) and gap-fills the community rating + vote count. Registered
in build_backfill_workers.
- DB: trakt_rating/trakt_votes/trakt_status/trakt_attempted columns + _BACKFILL /
_BACKFILL_COLS registration; detail payloads return trakt_rating/votes.
- Connections tab: Trakt service frame (Client ID field + Test button), wired into
video-settings.js load/save/bindings and the /enrichment/config GET+POST.
- Worker-manager modal + orb: WORKERS registry entry (red ★) + status-poll SERVICES
list, so it gets the same orb animation + per-service matched/pending/error card.
- Detail page: a 'Trakt 8.2' rating chip alongside IMDb/RT/Metacritic (+ CSS).
5 new tests + 2 fixed-set assertions updated; 249 video tests green, ruff clean.
The OpenSubtitles backfill worker already collects which subtitle languages exist
for each title (movies.subtitle_langs / shows.subtitle_langs), but nothing showed
it. Now the detail payload returns it (parsed to a list) and the hero renders a
'Subtitles: English · Spanish · …' CC-tinted chip row under the genres — so you can
tell subs exist before grabbing the file. Hidden entirely when there's no data.
(The clearlogo hero was already implemented, so this targets the one genuinely
invisible enrichment field.)
Also bound the per-iteration loop var in the ratings-breakdown counter (pre-existing
ruff B023). 154 video tests green, ruff clean.
Clicking a video thumbnail now plays it inline — the thumbnails are play buttons
(data-vd-yt-play) that reuse the existing trailer overlay (youtube.com/embed/<id>
?autoplay=1). Applies to channel + playlist video cards and the playlist-section
mini-cards (which previously just linked out to YouTube). The rest of the row
still expands to details.
The per-video wishlist toggle now reuses .library-artist-watchlist-btn (icon +
text, accent gradient) via a shared ytWishBtn() helper — compact in the dense
episode rows, icon-only in the tight playlist-section cards. 'Wishlist' ↔ 'In
Wishlist' with a green .watching state. Same behavior + data-vd-yt-wish hook;
just consistent chrome.
Channel playlists (the collapsible sections on a channel page) now each carry the
standard watchlist button — Add to Watchlist / In Watchlist — so you can follow a
channel's playlist without pasting its link. The /youtube/playlists/<id> endpoint
flags each playlist with its follow state to hydrate the button; the button click
is handled before the row's expand toggle (stopPropagation), and adds via
followPlaylist — the same plumbing the search chip + watchlist use. Followed ones
then appear in the watchlist Channels tab alongside channels.
- search: paste a playlist link → it resolves to a 'YouTube playlist' chip
(cover, owner, count) with Add-to-watchlist; clicking the chip opens it.
(isPlaylistRef + playlistCard + followPlaylist/unfollowPlaylist helpers.)
- routing: /video-detail/youtube/playlist/<PL…> deep-links like a channel
(string id); the open-detail event handles kind='playlist'.
- detail view: a FLAT list in the curator's order (no year-seasons, no season
nav / view toggle, no catalog streaming — it's a partial set). Billboard shows
'Playlist · N videos · owner'. Reuses the show-detail shell + the new
duration/views cards.
- watchlist: followed playlists sit beside channels in the Channels tab (rounded
square + a list badge), open on click, ✕ to unfollow.
Live-validated (Lex Fridman playlist resolves + renders in order). The 2 shell
test 'failures' are the pre-existing window.-assertion (no new globals added).
The standalone channel page had sort/filter/search; the merge into show-detail
dropped them. Now that the whole catalog is client-side, they're instant:
- A controls row above the year pills: a debounced title search + a sort select
(Newest / Oldest / Most viewed / Longest).
- Newest/Oldest keep the year-season grouping (reordered); search + Most-viewed +
Longest collapse into one flat sorted 'results' list. Empty search → a clear
'No videos match …' state.
- Refactored ytToShow's grouping into reusable helpers (ytGroupByYear / ytEpisodeOf)
+ ytRegroup(), which the streaming loop now uses too — so newly-streamed videos
fold into whatever view/sort is active, and the master list stays intact.
Search focus is preserved across the regroup (same hack the music manager uses).
TV episode rows show runtime; channel video cards showed nothing per video. The
InnerTube lockup already carries both — now we capture duration ('12:34') + an
approximate view count (parsed from '2.6M views') in innertube_parse_video_items,
remember them on youtube_channel_videos (new duration/view_count cols + migration),
and render a duration badge bottom-right of the thumb + 'N views' in the card meta.
The background stream backfills them onto the recent (yt-dlp) videos too, so the
whole catalog gets them. Live-validated (MrBeast: 32:08 / 50M, 30/30). 65 tests green.
- The hover snap was jarring because collapsed panels floored at min-width:10%
(so panels jumped ~10%↔80%) on a fast-start easeOutCirc curve. Raised the floor
to 25% (3 panels now settle 50/25/25 and hovering just glides the 50% across)
and switched to a gentler ease (0.66s cubic-bezier(0.45,0,0.2,1)).
- Lengthened the dim-overlay + sub/actions fades (0.4→0.55s, 0.3→0.45s) so they
move with the expansion instead of finishing early. Mobile stack unaffected
(it overrides min-width:0).
The video modal reused music's shell but had drifted into a parallel mini-design:
it emitted its own markup (.em-ph-main / .em-pause-btn / .em-item / .em-pg /
.vem-logo / .vem-icon) styled separately in video-side.css, instead of the
music classes that already exist in style.css. So the panel header, list rows,
rail icons and pager all looked 'redesigned'.
Now the modal emits music's real markup and inherits its global .em-* styling:
- Panel header -> .em-hero (glow + .em-icon--lg + .em-pill + .em-ph-sub)
- Unmatched list -> .em-row (status stripe, art+glyph, 'tried Nd ago', ghost Retry)
- Rail icon -> .em-icon chip (with --i stagger); pager -> .em-pager + .em-btn
- Pause -> .em-btn/.em-btn--go; coverage cards gain the First/Done/N-left badges
- Open/close entrance+exit animation (.em-in / .em-closing), dropping .em-in
after it plays so the 3s rail re-render doesn't replay the stagger
- Panel sets --accent-rgb so music's accent-keyed rules recolor per worker
Removed the now-dead bespoke CSS. Episodes stay a coverage card (per the backend:
episode art cascades from a show match; /priority only accepts movie/show), so
the top bar is correctly Movies/Shows/Auto. Music side untouched (shared classes
are global; video overrides were all #vem-overlay-scoped or now deleted).
- Fixes 'stuck idle': a channel marked enriched with FEW dates (proxies were
down) was locked out for 24h, so the improved yt-dlp fallback never re-ran.
channel_dates_enriched_recently now retries in 15 min when the last run got
<15 dates, and skips 24h only after a good run. So the catalog actually fills
in once a source works.
- The YouTube Dates worker now appears in the Manage Workers modal: added to
WORKERS (red ▶), youtube-aware rail subtitle, and a dedicated simple panel
(status + what-it-does + channels-enriched / dates-cached / queued counts) —
no per-kind match queue. Pause/resume works; polls every 3s like the rail.
- The YouTube episode rows reused .vd-ep's 5-column grid (index·thumb·info·
badge·chev) but only have 4 children, so the thumb squished into the index
slot and the Wish button stretched across the info column. Give .vd-ep--yt its
own 4-column grid (thumb·info·wish·chev).
- Flat listing omits per-video dates, so all videos bucketed into a lone
'Undated' season. Now a single dateless channel shows one 'All Videos' season
(year-grouping still kicks in for any videos that DO have dates); the 'Missing
only' toggle is hidden for channels (videos aren't owned/missing).
- The big one: an empty TMDB result no longer flashes 'No results' while the
(slower) YouTube channel search is still in flight — a 'YouTube channels ·
searching…' skeleton group (shimmer cards + spinner) shows instead, and the
empty state only appears once BOTH sources resolve with nothing. Users no
longer click away thinking nothing's happening.
- Channel avatars: fall back to the singular 'thumbnail' field when the flat
results omit the thumbnails list, so fewer cards are photoless (the rest keep
the clean initials placeholder). Reduced-motion respected.
Per request: a channel now opens the SAME detail page as a TV show instead of a
separate page. A channel renders through the show pipeline — currentKind='show'
(so the show container resolves) with d.kind='channel' + d.source='youtube'
driving content. Every change is an additive 'youtube' branch; the show/movie
path is byte-for-byte unchanged.
- Data transform (ytToShow): upload YEAR = season, video = episode, channel
banner=backdrop, avatar=poster (proxied), tags=genres, subs/videos/views=meta.
- Source-aware seams: bbBackdrop/bbPoster/seasonArt, billboard meta + actions
(Follow + Open-on-YouTube), episodeRow (ytEpisodeRow: Wish toggle), episode
expand (loadEpisodeExtra → /youtube/video full description+stats).
- Channel-only: playlists as a section below episodes (collapsible, lazy-load
their videos with wish toggles); per-video wish syncs across all cards; Follow.
- Routing: kind=channel → navigate('video-show-detail'); deep-link
/video-detail/youtube/channel/<id> still parses (string id). All TMDB-only
sections (cast/ratings/providers/etc.) auto-hide on empty channel data.
Retired the standalone video-channel.js + its subpage. JS/CSS balanced; music
untouched.
A text search now also surfaces matching YouTube channels (not just the paste-a-
link path). search_channels() extracts the channels-filtered YouTube results
page (flat); API GET /youtube/search hydrates a 'following' flag. The search
page fires it in parallel with the TMDB search and appends a 'YouTube channels'
group when it returns (best-effort; never blocks/breaks TMDB results). Cards open
the in-app channel page. 82 youtube+api tests green; balanced; music untouched.
The channel detail page is now best-in-class, treated like a real show:
- Hero: stats ribbon (subs · videos · views) + the channel's topic tags as chips.
- Video grid: sort (newest/oldest/most-viewed), 'Wished only' filter, and a Load
more that pages deeper than the first 60 uploads.
- Click any video → inline panel with its full description + likes/views (lazy
/youtube/video fetch, cached); wish state syncs across every card with that id.
- Playlists rendered as collapsible 'seasons' that lazy-load their videos on
expand (each with its own wish toggle).
.vc-* CSS; JS brace-balanced; music untouched.
Flat channel listing can't return descriptions, so selecting a video showed 'No
description'. Now we do a non-flat single-video extract on demand — the way the
TV nebula lazy-loads guest stars:
- core: video_detail(id) / shape_video() — description, views, likes, duration,
tags, channel, webpage_url (full extract, yt-dlp injectable for tests).
- API: GET /youtube/video/<id> — returns it AND backfills the description onto
the wishlist row (set_wishlist_video_overview), so re-opening is instant.
- Wishlist info bar (youtube): on select, lazy-fetch → real description +
eyebrow (date · duration · views) + a 'Watch on YouTube' link; cached on the
episode object. 'Loading details…' while in flight.
Mirrors the episode lazy-load + art-backfill patterns. 73 youtube+api tests
green; brace/CSS balanced; music untouched.
Two big pieces:
1) Wishlist YouTube tab now renders through the EXACT TV nebula (channel = show
orb, upload YEAR = season, video = episode) instead of a flat list. Made the
nebula source-aware: a youtube orb/season/label opens the in-app channel page
(not tmdb); season name shows the year; episode meta shows the upload date;
removes route through the youtube source_id endpoints (video / year / whole
channel); the info bar shows a selected video's description (no cast/no tmdb
fetch). Identical look — music wl-* + TMDB path untouched.
2) New in-app YouTube channel detail page (video-channel.js, sibling of
video-person.js) — opens via open-detail {kind:'channel'} from the watchlist
card, the wishlist orb/season, and deep links (/video-detail/youtube/channel/
<id>; router now accepts string ids + the new page). Banner hero, avatar,
subs/handle/video stats, description, Follow toggle, and a video grid where
each upload can be wished individually (duration + views + watch-on-YouTube).
Watchlist channel cards now open this page instead of bouncing to YouTube.
video-side.css .vc-*; JS brace-balanced; backend tests green.
Visual-first slice ties it together (window.VideoYoutube shared helper, all
.vyt-* CSS — music wl-* and the TMDB vwsh-* nebula untouched):
- Search: paste a channel link (or @handle) and instead of a title search you
get a YouTube Follow chip — avatar, title/handle, a strip of recent stills,
and a Follow button that follows + wishes recent uploads in one click.
- Wishlist: new YouTube tab. Channel = collapsible header (avatar, count,
open-on-YouTube, Unfollow), videos = a flat newest-first thumbnail feed with
per-video remove. Tab badge + sub-count wired.
- Watchlist: new Channels tab — followed channels as avatar cards with a wished-
video count and an unfollow control; count badge kept fresh across follows.
JS brace-balanced, CSS balanced, 66 youtube+API tests green.
The 'Next up' multi-panel used min-height, so when hovering re-wrapped a
narrowed panel's title onto more lines the whole hero grew taller and nudged the
page. Pin it to a fixed height and clamp panel titles to 2 lines; mobile stacked
layout falls back to height:auto.
- The 2-3 'Next up' panels now floor at min-width 10%, so when one is expanded
the others stay visibly selectable instead of collapsing to slivers (reset to
0 in the mobile stacked layout).
- Compact is now the default calendar view (still overridable + remembered via
localStorage).
Adds a Cards/Compact toggle next to the week filter. Compact drops the 16:9
episode art (.vcal-art) — the big space eater — and tightens the cells so a lot
more episodes fit on screen at once; ownership (which the art's ✓ badge used to
show) becomes a green left accent stripe on owned cells. Just toggles a class on
the stable grid wrapper (no refetch), and the choice persists in localStorage.

The hero used to lock onto the first episode of the week and never move. Now:
- 'Next up' is time-of-day aware on the current week: it shows the soonest
episodes that haven't finished airing yet (90-min grace so a show that's on
right now stays up; streaming/undated shows count as 'anytime today' so they
don't expire at midnight), advancing as the day goes. Once the week has fully
aired it falls back to the most recent.
- When 2-3 are upcoming, the hero splits into diagonal clip-path panels — the
soonest leads, hovering any panel expands it full-width and collapses the
others (secondary panels tease the title; sub + actions fade in on expand).
Single upcoming = the original billboard. Stacks vertically on mobile.
- Opening the calendar (or hitting Today) now auto-scrolls to the band the
wall-clock is in, so you land on 'now' instead of pre-dawn.

The season header was a full-width bar holding a tiny 34px thumb + 'Season N'
with the episode grid stacked below — most of the row was dead space. Now each
season is a real poster panel on the LEFT (94px poster + name + count + 'View
show ->' on hover, the whole panel → show page; ✕ to remove) with the episode
grid filling the space to its RIGHT (denser 232px cards). Reads tighter and the
season poster is finally a meaningful element instead of a thumbnail.

Fixes the expanded-show design from the screenshot:
- The header is now a 3-column row that flanks the poster: synopsis left, poster
middle, cast right — using the wasted horizontal space instead of stacking
everything vertically and pushing episodes down. Each side column hides (:empty)
when there's nothing, so a collapsed bubble or a cast-less reality show just
shows the centered poster (nebula grid unchanged). Stacks on mobile.
- Quiet episode-still placeholder (faint icon) instead of loud diagonal stripes
for episodes TMDB has no still for.

Per feedback:
- Removed the 'View show' button. The info bar is now strictly synopsis (left) +
cast (right).
- Episodes are shown grouped under a season header that links to the show page;
clicking the show title or a season header navigates to the show detail. Clicking
an episode SELECTS it (drives the info bar: episode synopsis + guest cast),
click again to go back to show-level.
- Dropped the season-tile reveal step (episodes always visible when expanded).

Reworked per feedback:
- Clicking an episode SELECTS it (highlights), no longer navigates.
- A dedicated 'View show ->' button in the info bar is what opens the show.
- Info bar is contextual: nothing selected -> show synopsis + show cast; episode
selected -> that episode's synopsis (from the wishlist row) + its guest cast
(lazy /episode/<tmdb>/<s>/<e>). Click the episode again to go back to show-level.
- Changing/closing a season resets the bar to show-level.
Cast bubbles + View-show navigate; everything scoped under .vwsh-nebula (music

Your idea — use the empty space when a show is expanded. Expanding an orb now
lazily loads the show detail and lays out an info bar: the show SYNOPSIS on the
left, a row of CAST bubbles on the right (circular photos / initials fallback,
clickable -> opens the person page). This surfaces reliable show-level context
even for reality shows whose episodes have no TMDB overview (e.g. Love Island).
Reuses the existing detail endpoints (owned -> /detail/show, else /tmdb/show);
one fetch per show, cached on the group. All scoped under .vwsh-nebula — music

More data in the roomier episode cards (asked for): episodes now carry a synopsis
(new video_wishlist.episode_overview, SCHEMA_VERSION 12 + migration; captured at
add-time, and the art-backfill fills it for old rows from the same tmdb_season
call). The card shows a 2-line synopsis under the meta line and is now clickable
-> opens the show detail (episodes have no page of their own).
Organize the wishlist two ways: added 'Oldest first' (FIFO) alongside 'Recently
added' (newest) — query_wishlist gains the 'oldest' sort for both movies + shows.
Tests: FIFO/newest ordering (with pinned add-times) + overview roundtrip/backfill.
105 passed. Music wishlist untouched.
