The three async personalized loaders each did insertAdjacentHTML('afterbegin'), so 'Recommended
for you' / 'More like X' / gap rails landed in whatever order their fetch finished — the top of
the page reshuffled every load, and taste-based rails were scattered through generic ones.
Now Discover renders 6 authored groups in a fixed order, each with a header:
For you · Finish your collection · More of what you like · Trending & popular ·
Browse by genre · Hidden gems & more
Each async loader fills its own group's body (deterministic position) instead of racing to the
top; async-only groups (gaps) stay hidden until filled, and a group whose rails all drop out is
pruned. Extracted lazyShelfHtml/filledShelfHtml/shelfNav helpers; lazy-load, stagger, gen-guard,
see-all and scroll arrows all unchanged.
Toggling service/language chips calls reloadRails(), which clears the shelves synchronously
but the personalized loaders (foryou/gaps/morelike) fetch async and insertAdjacentHTML afterbegin.
Rapid re-toggles let superseded in-flight fetches prepend anyway -> N 'Recommended for you' rows
piled up. Each rebuild now bumps state.railGen and every loader bails if its captured gen is
stale before prepending; chip-driven rebuilds are also debounced (350ms) so multi-select
coalesces into one rebuild. The 'On your streaming services' rail itself was building fine -
it was just buried under the duplicates.
'My services' only builds the optional 'On your streaming services' rail, but sitting under
the 'Across Discover' header it read as a page-wide filter (user confusion: 'i thought it
affected the whole page because that's what it says'). Moved it to its own self-describing row
('pick what you subscribe to — adds a rail to your feed') below the bar. 'Across Discover' now
holds only the genuinely page-wide controls: Hide owned + Languages. Markup/CSS only — the
data-vdsc-myprov hook is unchanged.
Each rail showed a shimmer skeleton then revealed the whole row in a single fade — on a
big library with hide-owned on (which pages deep server-side) that reads as a long blank then
a pop. Cards now stagger in left-to-right via a per-card --i index (capped) + a 'backwards'
fill-mode keyframe (so the entrance animation releases and :hover transforms still work).
Applies to lazy rails (fillShelf) and the prepended personalized rows (staggerWithin).
The Browse-all grid silently inherited the global rail language preference, so users
couldn't ad-hoc browse foreign cinema without changing their homepage prefs. Added a
language chipset to the Browse panel (auto-wired via the generic chip handler -> state.sel.lang)
and the grid now always sends lang= : a real code filters, 'any' opts OUT of the rail
preference entirely. Route treats lang=any as 'no language filter'. Added a 'Browse the full
catalog' eyebrow so the panel reads as a self-contained search, parallel to 'Across Discover'.
Hide-owned and the saved 'My services' pref stay single/global by design (they apply page-wide);
the Browse panel's provider chips remain its own grid filter.
Hide-owned + language + my-services were inside the Browse-all filter panel, making them read
as grid-only when they actually affect every rail. Moved them into a labelled 'Across Discover'
strip above the Browse panel (JS finds them by data-attribute, so no logic change). Browse panel
now holds only its grid filters (kind/sort/genre/source/decade).
A saved streaming-services preference drives a personalized 'On your streaming services' rail:
- GET/POST /discover/providers-pref (TMDB provider ids); /discover/list OR-joins multiple
providers (comma->pipe) into with_watch_providers.
- A 📺 multi-select in the toolbar (Netflix/Prime/Disney+/Max/Apple TV+/Hulu/Paramount+/Peacock);
selecting services saves the preference and rebuilds the rails.
- The rail (high priority, after taste) appears once you've picked services, showing what's
streaming on yours.
- A ✕ 'Not interested' button on every un-owned Discover card (hover) — adds to the ignore list
and fades the card out instantly.
- A '🚫 Ignore List' button top-right of the hero opens a vibey glassmorphic modal: a header
explaining what it is, a search box to hide any movie/show directly (TMDB search), and a poster
grid of everything hidden with one-click 'Un-hide'. Empty state guides the user.
- Card button + modal both POST /discover/ignore; ignored titles vanish from every rail (via
_stamp_owned). Video-only, additive.
Add 'Hidden Gems' (movies) + 'Critically Acclaimed Shows' rails — vote_average.desc with the
backend's vote_count floor filtering out single-vote noise, and the language preference applied.
Slot them above the decade/foreign rails.
A 🌐 multi-select chip row in the Discover toolbar (EN/KO/JA/ES/FR/HI/DE/IT) to pick which
original languages appear in the general/curated rails. Loads the current preference from
/discover/languages, toggling a chip POSTs the new set and rebuilds the rails (never empty —
at least one stays on). Extracted reloadRails() (now shared by the hide-owned toggle + language
chips). Default EN, so the rails are English unless you opt more in.
The general/curated rails (Popular/Trending/Top Rated + genre/decade) pull TMDB's GLOBAL lists,
flooding feeds with foreign-language titles (Bollywood). Add a multi-language preference:
- _disc_map now carries original_language (+ popularity) on each item.
- discover_languages setting (default 'en'); /discover/list post-filters general/curated rails
to it (dropping known non-preferred-language titles) and pages deeper to keep rails full.
Rails with an explicit lang (the dedicated foreign rails) bypass the filter.
- GET/POST /discover/languages to read/set the preference.
- Removed the hardcoded lang=en on general rails (the setting drives it now).
Default 'en' immediately fixes the Bollywood flood; UI to pick languages next.
A single personalized wall aggregating TMDB recommendations across many of your owned titles
(random_owned_titles seeds), ranked by consensus — a title recommended by more of your library
ranks higher (ties by rating then popularity), owned + seed titles excluded.
- core/video/discovery_recs.py: pure blend_recommendations (dedup/consensus/exclude), 7 tests.
- /api/video/discover/foryou aggregates ~12 seeds' recommendations.
- loadForYou() prepends the 'Recommended for you' rail on top of the stack; re-runs on the
hide-owned toggle.
Two Discover UX issues:
- Foreign-language titles leaked into the general genre/decade rails. Added an
original-language filter (with_original_language) through client.discover -> discover_filter
-> /discover/list (?lang=); the genre/decade/'because you like' rails now pin lang=en, and a
handful of dedicated foreign rails (Korean/Japanese/Spanish/French/Hindi) house non-English.
- 'Hide owned' + a huge library = nearly-empty rails (a 2-page batch was mostly owned, then
CSS-hidden to almost nothing). /discover/list now takes hide_owned=1: it drops owned
server-side and pages DEEPER (up to 8) until a rail has ~24 un-owned. fillShelf passes
hide_owned when the toggle's on; toggling re-renders the rails (+ personalized rows) instead
of just CSS-hiding cards.
loadGaps() fetches /discover/gaps and prepends the gap rails ('Complete the <franchise>',
'More from <director/creator>') above the rail stack, mirroring loadMoreLike. Cards are the
standard un-owned TMDB cards — already actionable (VideoGet add-to-watchlist/get), so a
missing franchise entry or director film is one click from your queue. Best-effort/additive.
This is the tool originally asked for — DISTINCT from the Library Scan (where
SoulSync reads the server into video.db). Server Scan tells Plex/Jellyfin to
rescan its OWN folders so newly-downloaded files get indexed, then a Library Scan
pulls them in. It's the manual twin of the post-download 'Scan Video Server'
automation, and targets Movies / TV / both like the Library Scan.
- POST /api/video/scan/server {media_type} -> refresh_video_server_sections (trigger)
- GET /api/video/scan/server/status?media_type -> {scanning:true|false|null} (live poll)
- new Server Scan card on the video Tools page + video-server-scan.js controller,
mirroring the music live-status UX (phase + working bar); resumes if the page
opens mid-scan. Server scans have no % (Plex doesn't report one) so the bar is a
working indicator. Both backend functions already existed + are media-type aware.
Seam tests: trigger threads media_type (movie / default all), status reports the
scanning flag (True / null passthrough), and the blueprint exposes both routes.
Adding the Movies/TV target gave the scan card three controls (target + mode +
button), one more than music's two, overflowing the shared no-wrap flex row and
clipping the Scan Library button past the card edge. Scoped CSS on the video Tools
page lets the row wrap: two selects share the top row, the button takes its own
full-width row. Music's .tool-card-controls is untouched.
The video Library Scan tool only scanned 'all' — but movies and TV are
independent libraries (unlike music's single library). The scanner backend
already supported media_type='movie'|'show'|'all'; this just wires it up:
- /api/video/scan/request now reads media_type and threads it to request_scan
- the Tools card gains a target selector (All / Movies Only / TV Shows Only)
alongside the existing mode dropdown, matching the music scan's UX
- the live status detail reflects the target (no confusing '0 shows' on a
movies-only scan)
Seam test: the endpoint passes both mode and media_type through (default all/full,
explicit movie/deep, TV-only). Existing scanner media-type/scope tests unchanged.
The TMDB-source show detail page rendered an empty action bar — renderActions
early-returned for source='tmdb' (a stale "previews have no actions" assumption that
predates the curated, tmdb_id-keyed watchlist), so the Watchlist button never showed
and the rest was skipped. Now an AIRING show gets the Watchlist button whether it's
owned or a TMDB preview (ended/cancelled stay terminal → no button); Trailer renders
from the payload; Get Missing stays library-only. Also fixed toggleWatchlist sending
a bogus library_id + 404 poster proxy for tmdb previews (data.id is the tmdb id there)
— it now omits library_id and uses the proxied TMDB poster, mirroring the card-hover add.
GET /api/video/downloads/history (paged, ?kind/search/outcome) + /history/<id>, both
returning the live tab counts. New self-contained modal (video-download-history.js,
.vdh-* styles) opened from a History button on the Downloads page: day-grouped
timeline of every grab with poster, title, S/E, quality/resolution/codec/size and an
outcome badge; rows expand in place to reveal the full detail (release, source/uploader,
codecs, dest path, grabbed/finished times, error). Tabs (All/Movies/TV), search,
load-more, and a live count badge on the button.
Video twin of music's 'Auto-Deep Scan Library', split in two because Movies and TV
are separate libraries — scanning the TV library must not pull in new movies and
vice-versa.
- scanner: add a media_type param ('all'|'movie'|'show', friendly aliases) that
gates the movies vs shows passes (and their pruning), plus an in_progress busy
guard so the singleton scanner can't be stomped by an overlapping run.
- video_scan_library handler: thread media_type through, skip cleanly when the
scanner is busy, and name only the scanned library in the summary.
- two system automations (owned_by=video, weekly deep scan, staggered start delays):
'Auto-Deep Scan Movie Library' + 'Auto-Deep Scan TV Library'. Distinct action
types (video_deep_scan_movies / _tv) because the seeder keys on action_type; both
reuse the one handler, scoped via action_config.
- builder block gains a Library selector (Movies+TV / Movies / TV) so custom scans
can scope too; card label/icon maps cover the video action types.
Seam tests for scanner scope + busy guard, handler scope + skip, registration set.
The Automations page reuses the music builder, whose .automations-builder-view is
height:100% so its trigger/action sidebar + canvas scroll independently. On music it
fills #automations-page (a .page at height:100%); on video it sat in a .video-subpage
with no height, so height:100% collapsed to content height and the sidebar grew
instead of scrolling (looked unformatted). #video-page-host is itself a .page, so
give just the automations subpage a definite height to resolve the chain. Scoped to
automations so every other video page keeps its natural document-flow scroll.
The Movies/TV/YouTube (and Shows/People/Channels) tabs, search bar, sort select and
clear-all read as generic dark glass. Align them to the video side's polished
language: selected tab now lights up with an accent outline + ring glow (the same
focus treatment as the search field) instead of a filled accent block; search is a
focus-ring shell with an accent icon; sort drops the native OS arrow for a custom
chevron; every control shares one 42px height + 12px radius + accent-ring focus.
Same treatment applied to the watchlist page so the two match.
Two Sonarr-parity features.
1) Per-episode live tracking. "Grab season" was headless (only a button label
changed); episode rows had a status span that was never populated. Now every
episode ROW shows its own live state — Searching → Downloading % → Downloaded
/ Failed — via epTrack() polling /downloads/status?id, matching the inline
movie tracker. Grab season lights all target rows at once; manual + per-source
auto grabs also light their row; reopening the modal resumes tracking in-flight
episodes (resumeEpisodeTracking via /downloads/active + search_ctx match).
Season batch grabs through the same payload as a manual grab (_pickAndGrab →
sendGrab(buildGrabPayload)).
2) Auto-wishlist airing episodes. New daily automation (video_add_airing_episodes):
reads the calendar for episodes airing TODAY for followed shows, skips owned
ones, adds the rest to the wishlist (idempotent). Handler uses injected seams
(calendar read + wishlist write) so it's unit-tested without a DB/server.
Registered + action block + seeded as a daily system automation (01:00),
owned_by=video.
End-to-end import for video grabs, mirroring the music side's rigor and the
Radarr/Sonarr standard, fully isolated in core/video + api/video.
- Importer: parse release -> ffprobe-verify (true resolution, reject corrupt/
samples) -> templated rename into Movie (Year)/ + Show/Season NN/ -> copy or
move, carry subtitles, upgrade-replace a worse copy.
- Library Organization settings: editable $token path templates + toggles
(transfer mode, verify, replace, carry subs, save artwork, write NFO,
download subtitles + langs). Stored in video.db; matches the music File
Organization section's look.
- Sidecar writer: movie.nfo / tvshow.nfo + full artwork set (poster, fanart,
clearlogo, season posters) from on-demand TMDB detail, and external .srt from
OpenSubtitles. Owned re-grabs resolve their library tmdb_id; tmdb_full_detail
bypasses the owned->library redirect so they enrich too.
- Import page: surfaces import_failed downloads, resolve by hand (library-first
-> TMDB picker -> force-place) or dismiss; fires a library refresh on place.
- "Grab whole season": episode-level batch (reuses searchInto + _autoPick).
- Brutalist redesign of the download modal sources + result cards.
All new logic has seam-level tests (pure parsers/planners + injected I/O);
sidecars/subtitles are best-effort and never break an import.
Reworked the whole sources/results area for a more premium, Netflix-y feel.
Results — flat divider list → real CARDS: a bold cinematic quality badge (resolution
over source), the release name as the hero, the meta as a row of crisp PILLS (codec /
audio / HDR / repack / group) plus a clean availability stat, then size · verdict · Get
grouped on the right. Cards have depth, a hover-lift, an accent edge on accepted
releases, and the auto/grabbed pick lights up with an accent ring + glow.
Sources — toned the full per-source colour wash down to a sophisticated dark-glass row
with the brand colour as an ACCENT only (left-edge light that extends on hover + the
glassy icon tile), so it reads calm and designed instead of busy.
All functional hooks preserved (data-vdl-card/grab, .vdl-res-main tracker dock, status
states, auto-pick). node --check + CSS balance clean; tracking/auto wiring tests green.
The wishlist page had no way to empty a tab — only per-item remove. Added a red-tinted
'Clear all' button in the toolbar that empties the ACTIVE tab in one click (after a
confirm), shown only when that tab has items.
- db.clear_wishlist(kind) maps the tab to its rows (movie→'movie', show→'episode',
youtube→'video') and deletes them; returns the count.
- POST /api/video/wishlist/clear {kind: movie|show|youtube}.
- Toolbar button + clearAll() (confirm → clear → reload) + updateClearBtn() visibility.
Tests: per-tab clear leaves the others intact, unknown-kind/empty no-ops, the endpoint,
and the frontend wiring. node --check clean.
Alongside the per-worker 'Retry all failed', the worker modal now has a topbar
'Retry all failed' that re-queues every failed/not_found item across ALL workers and
kinds in one click — one-shot recovery after an API outage left lots errored.
- db.retry_all_failed() derives the full service+kind set from the same _ENRICH /
_BACKFILL maps the workers use (tmdb/tvdb + omdb + fanart/opensubtitles/trakt/
tvmaze/anilist/wikidata + ryd/sponsorblock/dearrow), loops enrichment_retry, returns
the total re-queued. POST /api/video/enrichment/retry-all-failed.
- Topbar button (amber, text) → calls it, toasts the count, refreshes the modal.
DB test (resets across matcher + backfill + youtube service, deterministic count) +
frontend wiring test. ruff + node --check clean.
The calendar pulled every airing show in the library regardless of whether you
follow it. Now it's scoped to the EFFECTIVE watchlist by default — explicit show
follows ∪ airing library shows (not muted), same logic as the Shows watchlist tab —
so it tracks what you actually care about, and you can mute a show off it. A
'Watchlist / All library' toggle on the calendar lets you flip to everything you
own (remembered in localStorage).
- calendar_upcoming(watchlist_only=) adds the watchlist filter; /calendar takes
?scope=watchlist|all (default watchlist).
- Calendar page gets a scope toggle (defaults watchlist, persists, refetches on
change).
Tests: DB scope (followed-only / airing-default / mute drops out / all-library sees
all) + frontend wiring. node --check clean.
Person follows are already supported (video_watchlist kind='person', add/remove/check
API, and the button shows on person CARDS) — but the person DETAIL page had no way to
follow or see if a person is followed. Added the standard watchlist button to the
person hero: renderWatchlist() builds it + lazily checks the followed state,
toggleWatch() adds/removes via the person-kind watchlist API, wired through the page's
delegated click handler. Same chrome as the movie/show pages.
4 wiring tests; node --check clean.
Two UX fixes from feedback:
- Clicking a coverage card on a worker was also setting the GLOBAL 'process first'
priority (and silently re-queuing that kind's failed items) — so picking a worker's
coverage reached across and re-prioritised every worker. Now a coverage card just
switches the view; priority changes only via the top Movies/Shows/Auto tabs, and
re-queuing is the explicit 'Retry all failed' button. (Removed the now-dead
requeueFailed helper.)
- 'Retry all failed' now re-queues EVERY coverage kind the worker handles (movie+show,
etc.), not just the tab you're viewing — matching the 'all' in the label.
3 wiring tests; node --check clean.
Auto: replaced 'Manual all' + 'Auto all' (which fired auto on every source = up to
one download PER source = duplicate copies) with a single header 'Auto' button. It
searches every source, waits for them all to settle, compares the accepted+grabbable
hits across ALL sources by quality-profile score (tie-break on availability), and
grabs exactly ONE winner — the chosen row gets the auto ring + live tracker. Per-source
Manual/Auto buttons are unchanged.
Bug fix: viewing a YouTube channel populated the playlist section in the SHARED
show-detail DOM; opening a real movie/show afterward still showed those playlists,
because ytResetPlaylists() used the kind-scoped q() (pointing at the wrong root on a
movie load) and wasn't called on normal loads. Now it targets the show subpage
directly and runs from resetExtras() (every detail load), so stale playlists are
always cleared.
node --check clean; 20 wiring/regression tests green; all video-only.
Two fixes from feedback:
1) Reopening the download modal now KNOWS a download is already running. The view
gets a persistent active-download banner at the top that looks the title up by
media identity (/downloads/status?media_id=) on every open and polls while active
— progress bar + release name + 'Track on Downloads ↗'. Suppressed while a result
card is already tracking inline (fresh-grab case) so there's never a double
indicator.
2) Result cards completely redesigned (third time's the charm): dropped the rounded
cards + big resolution tile for a flat, release-list layout (Radarr/Prowlarr
style) — hairline dividers, a small colour quality tag + source word on the left,
the RELEASE NAME as the hero line, dense inline meta (codec · audio · HDR ·
uploader · group) under it, then size · a compact ✓/✕ verdict flag · a compact
accent 'Get' pill. The selected/auto/grabbed row tints + rings in place, and the
live tracker still docks under the chosen row.
All video-only. node --check clean; 16 tracking/auto wiring tests + the status
endpoint test green.
After a grab (manual or Auto) the user now SEES what happened and can follow it:
- The chosen result card is spotlighted (Auto scrolls it into view) and grows a live
tracker: a progress bar that follows the real download + a 'Track on Downloads ↗'
button that closes the modal and jumps to the Downloads page. Polls the new
GET /api/video/downloads/status?id= until the download reaches a terminal state.
- A movie's detail page shows a live download chip (progress bar + %) for any in-flight
download of that title; clicking it jumps to Downloads. Looks up by media identity
via /downloads/status?media_id=&media_source=, polls while active, clears on
navigate-away. (video-detail.js)
- Result CARDS redesigned (the part you didn't like): a column card with a colour
resolution badge, a green 'accepted' edge, cleaner hierarchy, and the grab button is
now an accent 'Get' pill matching the source Auto button language.
Plumbing: new lightweight /downloads/status endpoint (by id, or by media for detail
pages); soulsync:video-navigate event in video-side.js to reach a top-level page from
anywhere; VideoGet.close exported so the tracker can dismiss the modal. All video-only.
Tests: status endpoint (by id + by media + null cases) in test_video_api.py;
tracking/detail/nav wiring in test_video_download_tracking.py. node --check clean;
isolation guards green.
The sources half felt weak next to the animated top half (quality chips + glowing
verdict), and the dark-text lightning Auto button looked off. Redesigned the whole
sources block:
- Buttons are now a cohesive pair: Manual = quiet ghost (outline), Auto = hero —
brand-filled gradient, white text w/ shadow for legibility on bright brands, a
soft continuous brand glow (vdlAutoGlow, --glow set per element) + a sheen sweep
and a sparkle twinkle on hover. Swapped the harsh ⚡ for a clean monochrome ✦
that inherits the button colour. 'Manual all'/'Auto all' header buttons speak the
same language (ghost vs accent hero).
- Source rows: richer brand card — bigger glassy icon tile w/ inner highlight +
halo, a stronger brand gradient, an inset top highlight, a glowing left brand
edge (::before), and the status is now a brand-tinted pill (was bare dot+text)
with state colours (scanning/done/none). Scan bar moved to ::after.
- Section labels get a small accent tick so both halves read 'designed'.
- Reduced-motion + mobile (full-width stacked buttons) handled.
Icon+label split into spans for finer control. node --check clean; 7 tests
updated/green.
Each source in the movie/YouTube download view had one 'Search' button (manual —
you pick a release). Adds a second 'Auto' button beside it that runs the SAME
search and then auto-grabs the best release for your quality profile; renamed the
pair to 'Manual' / 'Auto' for clarity (+ a matching 'Auto all' beside 'Manual all').
How 'best' is chosen: the backend already returns hits ranked best-first
(accepted → score → availability — see test_downloads_search_endpoint_ranks_and_filters),
so Auto just waits for the search to settle, then takes the first accepted hit
that has an uploader and grabs it. The chosen release card gets a ring + the row
shows Auto-grabbing → Sent, so the pick is transparent.
- searchInto/_pollSearch gain an onDone callback (fires when results settle); the
immediate (mock) path fires it too.
- doGrab refactored into shared buildGrabPayload + sendGrab so the manual button
and _autoPick send an identical /grab request (incl. the auto-retry candidate pool).
- searchInto now drops stale _rows on start so an empty Auto search can't grab a
prior search's hit.
Soulseek-grab-only for now (same as the manual button); non-soulseek sources say
'no release met your profile' until that grab path lands. TV show view (separate
onShowClick, still stub searches) untouched. 7 wiring tests; node --check clean.
The video automations page had no way to CREATE automations and its card cog did
nothing — it called the music global showAutomationBuilder(), which swaps views
inside the (hidden-on-video) music page, so the builder 'opened' on the music tab
instead. Now the video side has its own builder.
- index.html: the video automations subpage gets its own list-view + builder-view
(vauto- prefixed ids) and a '+ New Automation' button, swapping exactly like the
music page. Save/Cancel/Back reuse the shared builder functions.
- stats-automations.js: the builder is now context-aware. A builder context holds
the element ids + blocks endpoint + owned_by + reload callback. Music context is
the default and byte-identical (all 17 id lookups go through _bEl() resolving the
music ids). showVideoAutomationBuilder() sets a video context (vauto- ids,
/api/video/automations/blocks, owned_by='video'); editAutomation() routes the
card cog to the right builder by active side. Opening clears BOTH builders'
canvases so cfg-* ids can't collide. Save tags owned_by from context and calls
the context's reload. A generic config_fields renderer/reader (video-gated so
music keeps its bespoke renderers) drives video block config like the mode select.
- video-automations.js: exposes window._reloadVideoAutomations so a save refreshes
the video list.
11 wiring tests (test_video_automations_builder.py); node --check clean; music
builder path unchanged.
The video side gets its OWN automations at music-side parity, kept separate so
nothing on the music side breaks. First twin: Scan Video Library — tells the media
server to rescan the user's SELECTED video sections (movies/TV, never music), then
reads the result into video.db so freshly-downloaded media shows as owned.
Architecture (scope tags + video twins on the shared engine):
- Handler core/automation/handlers/video_scan_library.py — pure function with
injected I/O (server_refresh / run_video_scan); production lazily binds
refresh_video_server_sections() + the video scanner. Owns its own progress.
Lives on the SHARED automation side so it may import core.video (isolation only
forbids core/video & api/video from importing music, not the reverse).
- blocks.py gains a 'scope' tag ('both' generic / 'video' video-only / absent=music)
+ blocks_for_scope(). The music /api/automations/blocks now filters out video
blocks; new isolated /api/video/automations/blocks serves the video palette.
- automation_engine seeds 'Scan Video Library' (owned_by='video', schedule 6h) so
it appears ONLY on the video Automations page; ensure_system_automations now
honours owned_by + action_config. Music page excludes owned_by='video' rows.
kettui: seam-level tests for every handler path (happy/no-server/scan-error/never-
raises/mode), scope filtering (music excludes video, video gets generics, music
parity preserved), seeding (owned_by + mode), registration drift guard. 39 new
tests; full automation suite (288) + isolation guards green.
Per Boulder — the music system automations target music resources and don't belong on
the video side. The page now filters to owned_by='video' (a tag the upcoming video
automations will carry); none exist yet, so the System section is hidden and the empty
state reads 'Video automations coming soon — separate from the music ones'. The hub +
layout stay (video hub content + video automations come next). Balance clean.
The Automation Hub's Pipelines / Singles / Quick Start / Tips panes are music content
(playlist pipelines, music recipes/guides). The video side will get its own content
there; for now those four panes are emptied to a 'Video … coming soon' placeholder
(scoped to the detached hub element, no id clash). Reference stays — it's generic
automation reference. Hub tabs + structure otherwise unchanged. Balance clean.
Stopped hand-rolling the cards/section and now call the music page's GLOBAL builders
(_buildAutomationSection / renderAutomationCard / _buildAutomationHub from
stats-automations.js) — so the System section, every automation card, AND the
Automation Hub (Pipelines/Singles/Quick Start/Tips/Reference tabs) render byte-for-byte
identical to the music page. The System section uses a unique id (no clash) and is the
only thing re-rendered on refresh; the hub is built once (static). Run/toggle go through
the reused music card handlers; we re-sync the section after. Balance clean.
Was a bespoke .vauto- header; now mirrors the music automations page structure 1:1 —
.page-shell.automations-container > .dashboard-header (sweep + automation.png icon +
header-title/subtitle) > .automations-stats ('N Active · N System') > .automations-list
holding the protected '.automations-section.section-protected' System group (chevron +
label + count + collapse, persisted) with the same .automation-card rows. Reuses every
music class; driven by video JS via data-vauto-* hooks (no #id clash). Removed the dead
.vauto-* CSS. Balance clean.
Adds an Automations nav entry + page to the video side. The automation engine is
app-wide, so this surfaces the SAME system automations the music side runs — filtered
to is_system, EXCLUDING Refresh Beatport Cache and any user/playlist-pipeline ones.
Reads the shared /api/automations (no music imports), reuses the music .automation-*
card look, and supports run-now + enable toggle (system automations aren't editable).
Polls every 5s while the page is open. Frontend-only; balance clean.
Next: the library-refresh/scan automation wiring (Boulder has questions on how server
scanning works first).
The active-downloads poll kept running in the background — the page-change event that
stops it only fires for video-side navigations, not when switching to the music side,
so /api/video/downloads/active was being hit forever. poll() now bails (and clears the
timer) whenever the Downloads page isn't on screen (data-side!=video or the subpage is
hidden). Also matched the music page's 2s active cadence (6s idle). Still HTTP polling,
same as the music downloads page (which polls /api/downloads/all every 2s — the app's
SocketIO is for other realtime, not the downloads list).
When a grabbed release fails (transfer error / peer-cancel / never lands), the engine
now retries instead of giving up — the music-style depth:
- Grab stores the OTHER accepted results as a retry pool + the search context (schema
v16: candidates / search_ctx / tried_queries / tried_files / attempts).
- core/video/retry.py (pure, tested): plan_retry() → try the next-best candidate; when
the pool is dry, next_query() generates an ALTERNATE query (movie: drop the year; TV:
numbering variants) to re-search; budget MAX_ATTEMPTS=6. merge_candidates dedupes
against already-tried releases.
- Monitor: on failure, _fail_or_retry hops to the next candidate inline; if none, flips
the row to a new 'searching' state and a background requery thread re-searches the
alternate query, evaluates against the profile, and starts the best fresh hit — or
marks failed once truly exhausted. 'searching' rows are owned by their thread.
- Page: 'Searching' status (Trying another release…) + a 'Nx' attempt badge.
16 tests (retry engine + candidate-retry transition); ruff clean on touched files.
The poll capped at 32s but slskd results trickle in over ~50s (the music side waits
the whole search_timeout), so slow searches like 'Project Hail Mary' returned 'none'
before results landed. Now:
- /search/start returns poll_ms (slskd search_timeout + 8s); the UI polls that long
(capped 80s), streaming results as they arrive, stopping early only once results
clearly plateau (≥20s + stable) or hit 25.
- /search/poll returns total_files; when 0 video releases but slskd DID return files,
the panel says 'returned N files, but none are video — likely audio/other for this
title' instead of a blank 'none' (Soulseek is audio-heavy; many movie titles are
audiobooks there). slskd_search.poll_search() returns {hits, total_files}.
Tests green, ruff + balance clean.
Grabs now carry the movie's identity so the Downloads cards are rich, not anonymous:
- video_downloads gains media_id / media_source / year / poster_url (schema v15 +
migration); grab stores them (passed from the get-modal → download view → grab).
- Cards show the POSTER in the art tile (emoji fallback), 'Title (Year)', a quality
chip (1080p · BluRay · X265), and an ↗ Open button that jumps to the movie/show
detail page (dispatches soulsync:video-open-detail). Cancel/retry unchanged.
16 tests green, ruff + balance clean.
Scrapped the bespoke centered .vdpg- design and reused the music downloads page's
.adl-* classes for real parity: full-width .adl-layout, the segmented .adl-filter-pills,
the title with the accent download glyph, and the compact .adl-row (44px art tile +
.adl-row-info title/meta/error + .adl-row-status dot+label) — driven by the video JS
via data-vdpg-* hooks (no #id clashes with the music page). Per-row cancel reuses the
music hover-reveal .adl-row-cancel; retry mirrors it in accent. Kept the smooth
in-place patching (slim progress line for active rows). Removed the old .vdpg-* block;
balance clean.
Brings the Downloads page up toward the music page's depth:
- Filter tabs (music-style pills): All / Active / Completed / Failed, each with a live
count; clicking filters the list. Cancelled rolls under Failed.
- Header actions: Cancel all (active) + Clear finished, shown only when relevant; a
live 'N active · N done · N failed' subline.
- Per-row actions: ✕ Cancel on active rows (→ /downloads/cancel), ↻ Retry on
failed/cancelled rows (→ /downloads/retry, re-grabs the release).
- Cancelled status styling (pill + dimmed row). Still the smooth in-place patching
(no blink), adaptive polling, empty + filtered-empty states.
Balance clean. Phase C (auto-retry + alternate-query retry) next.
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.
