Addresses 'says running but I see nothing':
- Real logs: 'enriching <ch>…', 'proxy returned N', 'done — N proxy + N
per-video (X/Y dated)' so you can see exactly what it's doing.
- Proxy timeout 8s→4s so dead instances (most public ones) fail fast instead of
hanging ~40s before the yt-dlp fallback.
- Channel page now re-fetches a few times (25/60/110s) after load while videos
are still undated, re-rendering only when NEW year-seasons appear — so dates
the background enricher fills in pop in without a manual reload.
The date enricher was the odd one out — the dashboard polled
/api/video/enrichment/youtube/status every 3s (flooding the access log) instead
of using the shared WebSocket the other three workers push on. Now the existing
_emit_video_enrichment_status_loop also emits 'enrichment:youtube' (same stats
shape), and video-enrichment.js binds it on the socket alongside tmdb/tvdb/omdb.
Removed the bespoke polling loop. One-time prime fetch on load stays (instant
initial state); everything after is socket-driven. Consistent with the others.
- 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 standalone enricher now reports orb telemetry: stats()/pause()/resume();
/enrichment/youtube/status (+pause/resume) special-cased in the route. Added
the 4th header worker button (red ▶), WORKER_DEFS entry, and SERVICES wiring —
it's not on the socket so video-enrichment.js polls it every 3s. It animates
(idle → active orb + inbound pulses) while a followed channel's dates are being
fetched, like the TMDB/TVDB/OMDb orbs.
- Channel detail now uses the SAME standard watchlist button as shows/movies
(library-artist-watchlist-btn, ✓/＋ icon, 'In Watchlist'/'Watchlist') instead
of a bespoke 'Follow' — consistency. Still wired to the channel follow action.
176 backend tests green; JS balanced; music untouched.
Flat listing has no upload dates, so channels showed one 'All Videos' season.
Now real year-seasons, filled from cheap sources and cached so they grow:
- core: parse_rss_dates / channel_recent_dates — one public RSS GET dates the
~15 most-recent uploads (no yt-dlp, no bot risk).
- db: youtube_video_dates cache table + cache_video_dates / get_video_dates.
- /youtube/channel merges cached + RSS dates onto the flat videos (year-seasons)
and caches what it learns; /youtube/video caches each fetched date too — so
expanding/wishing videos progressively fills the catalog's years, instant on
repeat. Dateless tail groups as 'Earlier videos'. Missing-only toggle hidden
for channels. 84 db + 84 youtube/api tests green.
Full day-one coverage still needs the YouTube Data API's publishedAt (optional,
yt-dlp can't match it cheaply) — RSS + cache is the no-key best.
- 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).
Screenshot showed channel results with empty circles, not the initials chip —
i.e. an avatar URL was present but the image was failing to load. Two causes
addressed:
- The image proxy fetched googleusercontent/yt3 with NO User-Agent, which the
CDN 403s for some avatars → blank. Now sends a browser UA + Accept header.
- A failed avatar now swaps to the initials chip (onerror → outerHTML) instead
of hiding the img and leaving an empty circle. Also proxy protocol-relative +
deeper-subdomain YouTube image hosts. img-proxy tests green.
- 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.
video-channel-detail was in DETAIL_PAGES but missing from VIDEO_PAGES, so
pageMeta() fell back to VIDEO_PAGES[0] (dashboard). Register it so navigate()
resolves the channel detail subpage.
The channel avatar (and video thumbnails) are yt3.googleusercontent.com /
i.ytimg.com URLs; hotlink/CORS policy could blank them (failed <img> hides on
the watchlist, falls to initials on the wishlist orb) — which is why the poster
'vanished' on both pages.
Extend the /api/video/img proxy allowlist to YouTube CDN hosts (ytimg.com /
ggpht.com / googleusercontent.com, https-only, still SSRF-safe) and route all
YouTube art through it: VideoYoutube.img() helper used by the watchlist channel
cards, search chip, the wishlist nebula orb/season/still art, and the channel
detail avatar/banner/thumbnails. 2 img-proxy tests green; JS balanced.
Flat channel listing doesn't always surface the avatar, so it could be stored
null → the orb fell back to plain initials (looked like a missing poster). Two
fixes:
- Orb falls back to the channel's newest video thumbnail when the avatar is
absent, so it's never blank.
- Opening the channel page (which resolves the real avatar) now backfills it
onto every wished row via set_wishlist_channel_poster — so the actual channel
avatar appears on the wishlist orb thereafter. 6 tests green.
The synopsis + cast live in the orb's always-present header (.vwsh-xhead), not
inside the collapsing seasons block, so closing an expanded show/channel left
the selected episode/video's synopsis + cast photos lingering until you
re-opened and re-closed. Collapsing an orb now wipes both side columns and drops
any episode selection, so the :empty columns hide cleanly.
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.
Calendar-only; music side untouched.
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.
Calendar-only; music side untouched.
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.
Scoped under .vwsh-nebula; music wishlist untouched.
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.
All scoped under .vwsh-nebula; music wishlist untouched.
Most episodes have no TMDB guest stars, so 'episode cast' showed nothing. A
selected episode now lists its guest stars first, then the show's regular cast
(deduped), so actors always appear; the guests just lead.
query_wishlist episodes carry episode_number but not season_number (it lives on
the season), so the guest-cast fetch hit /episode/<tmdb>/undefined/<ep> -> 404 and
the S·E eyebrow read 'S undefined'. findEpisode now stamps season_number onto the
selected episode.
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).
Scoped under .vwsh-nebula; music wishlist untouched.
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
wishlist untouched).
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
wishlist untouched.
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.
From the expanded-show screenshot: episodes were crammed into a 320px tile and
titles truncated. Reworked (all still scoped under .vwsh-nebula):
- Season tiles are now SELECTORS. Picking one drops its episodes full-width below
the fan as 2-line cards: a bigger 16:9 still, the title wrapping to two lines,
and a meta line (status dot · S/E · air date). Single-select; click again to
close. Responsive grid, scrolls past ~360px.
- Softer count badge ('59 ep' muted pill instead of the loud number).
- Selected tile glows in the show hue; square bubbles bumped up so posters breathe.
Music wishlist untouched (verified: no bare .wl-* rules in video CSS).
Season tiles showed the show poster because the wishlist had no season art. Now
stored + used: new video_wishlist.season_poster_url (SCHEMA_VERSION 11 + migration);
the get-modal captures each season's poster at add-time (owned -> /poster/season
proxy, tmdb -> direct); query_wishlist exposes season.poster_url; tiles render the
real season poster (falling back to show poster, then placeholder).
Backfill generalized: /wishlist/backfill-stills -> /wishlist/backfill-art fills
BOTH stills and season posters from the same cached tmdb_season call (it already
returns the season poster). The page fires it once when either is missing.
Tests updated/added: art backfill targets + season-poster set + endpoint. 104 passed.
The 'no episode images' was data, not a bug: existing episode rows predate
still-capture (81 rows, 0 stills). New /wishlist/backfill-stills fills them
cheaply — one cached tmdb_season call per (show, season), updating only rows
that lack a still. The show tab fires it once automatically when it sees missing
stills, then reloads so the images pop in.
DB: wishlist_still_backfill_targets + set_wishlist_still (won't clobber existing).
Tests: +2. Suites green.
#4 acquisition progress: a thin done÷wanted bar across each bubble's bottom
(forward-prep — fills once the download engine lands).
Expanded-view richness: episodes now carry a still thumbnail. New video_wishlist
.still_url column (SCHEMA_VERSION 10 + migration); the get-modal captures the
still per episode (owned -> /poster/episode proxy, tmdb -> direct still_url) and
sends it through add; query_wishlist returns it; the episode row renders a 16:9
thumb (film-frame placeholder when absent) in a roomier expanded tile.
Subtle video identity: the bubbles are now rounded-SQUARES (the music orbs stay
circles). Every rule stays scoped under .vwsh-nebula — verified no bare .wl-*
rules in the video CSS, so the music wishlist is untouched.
Tests: +1 (still roundtrip). Backend 102 passed.
Next-level pass for the video nebula, ALL scoped under a video-only .vwsh-nebula
class so the music wishlist's global wl-* styling is untouched (verified: no bare
.wl-* rules in the video CSS).
1. Cinematic expand — an open orb bleeds the show's poster as a blurred, hue-
tinted backdrop behind the season fan + glows the panel in the show's hue.
2. Season tags — each season tile stamps a bold 'S2' over its art so seasons
read distinctly instead of identical posters.
3. Richer episode tracks — every episode line gets a colored status dot
(wanted/searching/downloading/done/failed) + its air date.
4. Sort + count — a Recently added / Most wanted / A–Z sort (query_wishlist gains
a sort param) and a live 'N shows · M episodes' subheader.
Tests: +1 (sort ordering). Backend 101 passed. Movies tab + music side untouched.
Ditched the filmstrip. The TV tab now renders the exact music wishlist nebula by
reusing its global wl-* classes: shows are glowing orbs sized by wanted-episode
count, click to expand into a season 'album fan' (tiles), click a season tile to
reveal its episodes; removes at episode/season + a show-remove × on the orb.
Everything's visible at once, no horizontal scrolling. Movies tab unchanged.
Only video-specific CSS is the show-remove button; behavior (orb/tile expand,
opens, removes) is wired via delegation in video-wishlist.js. Easy to tweak from
this shared base.
The music wishlist has its artist 'nebula'; the TV side now has its own rich,
TV-native metaphor. Each show is a reel: poster + one horizontal film strip per
season (dark band with sprocket-hole borders) made of episode 'cells'. A cell
shows E#, glows in the show's hue, and widens on hover to reveal the title;
remove ×s sit on each cell, each season label, and the show header. Poster/title
open the show detail. Status tints the cells (wanted/downloading/done/failed).
Movies tab unchanged.
query_wishlist(show) now also returns library_id so reels open the owned detail
when applicable. Backend suites green.
A manual safety-net for the auto-promoter: queues episodes that have ALREADY
aired, are missing, and aren't yet on the wishlist. Upcoming episodes are left
alone (the calendar promotes them once they air), so it's a no-op on the current/
future weeks and useful when you page back to a past one.
- calendar_upcoming now returns the show's tmdb_id.
- /wishlist/check accepts {shows:[...]} -> by_show membership (db.wishlist_keys_
for_shows), so the button only counts/adds what's genuinely not yet queued.
- Calendar: computes aired-missing (air_date < today, !has_file), checks wishlist
membership, shows 'Add N missing to wishlist' when there's net-new; click groups
by show -> /wishlist/add, toasts, fires soulsync:video-wishlist-changed, recomputes.
Tests: +2 (wishlist_keys_for_shows, /wishlist/check by_show). Backend: 100 passed.
My head glow was unblurred + mis-centered, so it read as a harsh purple band
with a gap above. Mirror the watchlist's exact head/glow/tabs/toolbar: blurred
accent radial clipped by the header, 36px title, pill tabs with count badges,
matching gutters + 900px breakpoint. Same chrome, different content.
It used max-width:1180 centered with no inner padding, so wide screens got big
empty side margins and the content looked squooshed. Mirror .vwlp-* instead:
full-width .vwsh-page, head/toolbar/body padded 40px (18px on small screens),
same head glow.
No longer a stub. The modal now captures the title's tmdb id + per-episode meta
(title/air_date, including lazily-loaded tmdb seasons), and on submit:
- movie -> POST /wishlist/add {movie} (owned -> 'queued for re-download')
- show -> POST /wishlist/add {show, episodes:[selected S/E]}; if the 'Add to
watchlist' tick is on, also POST /watchlist/add for the show.
Fires soulsync:video-wishlist-changed (+ watchlist-changed) so badges/pages
refresh, toasts the result, and closes. Every card surface (discover, search,
library, watchlist, detail) funnels through here, so they're all live now.
Tabbed Movies / TV page (mirrors the watchlist chrome). Movies render as a poster
grid with status pill + hover remove. TV groups into collapsible show -> season ->
episode rows with wanted/done roll-ups and a remove (x) at every level (episode /
season / whole show). Server-paged + searchable; updates the nav + hero badges
and listens for soulsync:video-wishlist-changed. Movie cards open detail.
Wires the pre-existing Wishlist nav button (added its badge) + subpage container +
.vwsh-* styles.
Pagination (regression): the IntersectionObserver sentinel only fires on
intersection *changes*, so a short first page kept it on-screen and it never
re-fired — stuck at 20 — and I'd hidden the Load more button whenever IO exists,
leaving no fallback. Now:
- Load more button is always shown while there's more (the reliable control).
- Auto-load is self-correcting: track sentinel visibility and, after each load,
pull again via rAF if it's still on-screen (rAF lets the observer update first
so a cached category doesn't load every page at once).
- page increment moved inside loadGrid so the button + sentinel can't double-bump.
Caching: cachedFetch() memoizes /discover/list responses per URL for the session
(rails + grid pages) — revisits, paging and reopening a category are instant and
don't re-hit TMDB.
Responsive: small-screen pass for the Browse panel, hero (height/title/actions
full-width), grid header wrap, and the trailer close button (kept on-screen).
Also fixed the ambient layer's 130% width that could cause horizontal scroll.
Colors now carry meaning instead of cycling by position:
- segments (Movies/TV, sort) → the app accent (they're modes, not categories)
- genre chips → a thematic colour per genre (Horror red, Comedy gold, Sci-Fi
cyan, Romance pink, …) via a name→colour map; unmapped fall back to neutral
- provider chips → each service's brand colour (Netflix red, Disney+ blue, Max
purple, Hulu green, …)
- era chips → a single warm amber; 'All/Any …' reset chips → neutral grey
Edge-fade: removed the mask-image from .vdsc-rail and .vdsc-chips. On short
filter rows only the left fade landed (dimming the first chip) while the right
fell on empty space — reading as a one-sided fade over everything.
The --c palette triples were space-separated (29 185 84), so rgba(var(--c), a)
expanded to the invalid rgba(29 185 84, a) and every fill/border/color was
dropped — leaving plain text. Match the codebase convention (--accent-rgb is
comma-separated) by making --c comma-separated, plus the rgba fallbacks.
The fully-round accent pills + sliding-thumb segments didn't fit. Now every
filter control (kind/sort segments + genre/provider/era chips) shares the
album-detail action-button look: rounded-rect (9px), each tinted from a vibey
8-colour palette that cycles across the row (green/purple/blue/amber/pink/cyan/
coral/violet) — soft fill + border + coloured text, brightening on hover, the
selected one filling with its own colour. Dropped the sliding-thumb segmented
control + its now-dead JS (moveSeg/positionSegs).
Provider filter (#4):
- client.discover() + engine.discover_filter() take a TMDB provider id and pass
with_watch_providers + watch_region (engine._region) + flatrate. Browse gets a
streaming-service chip row (Netflix/Prime/Disney+/Max/Apple TV+/Hulu/Paramount+/
Peacock); the grid title reflects 'on <service>'.
Infinite scroll (#6):
- Grid paginates via an IntersectionObserver sentinel (600px lookahead) with a
bottom spinner; the Load more button stays only as a no-IO fallback.
Polish (#7):
- Hero keyboard nav (←/→ when Discover is the visible view, ignoring inputs and
while the trailer is open); focus-visible rings on chips/segments/cards/arrows.
Note: 'complete-the-franchise' rail (#5) needs a collection_id per movie, which
the schema doesn't store yet — deferred (would need an enrichment pass).
Tests: +1 (provider watch_region params); updated the discover_filter fake for
the new kwargs. Enrichment + API suites: 115 passed.
- Segmented controls (Kind/Sort) now have a highlight 'thumb' that springs
between options (JS measures the active button → CSS var slide); repositions
on click, page-show, and resize.
- Chips: brighter active gradient with a glow ring + subtle lift, smoother hover.
- No-TMDB empty state: genres are a static TMDB endpoint, so when they come back
empty the page shows a 'Discover needs TMDB' card instead of a bare shell.
- Persist 'Hide owned' across sessions (localStorage); async image decoding on
cards.
Browse panel (was boring native dropdowns):
- Kind + Sort are now segmented pill controls; Genre + Era are horizontally
scrollable, edge-faded chip rows with an accent-glow active state; primary
'Browse all →' CTA. Genre chips rebuild when kind flips. Selection lives in
state.sel (no <select> reads).
More data per rail (so 'Hide owned' doesn't gut a shelf):
- /discover/list gains a 'pages' param (1–3): fetches that many consecutive
TMDB pages and concatenates them deduped in one response. Rails request
pages=2 (~40 items); trending is a fixed list so extra pages are skipped.
Cleanup: removed dead .vdsc-filterbar/.vdsc-select CSS.
Tests: +3 (discover routes registered; multi-page concat+dedup; trending
fetched once despite pages). API suite: 22 passed.
