So library cards show real owned/total (e.g. 8/10) WITHOUT opening each show. When
the TMDB worker's match queue is clear, it pulls the full season/episode list for
one already-matched-but-unsynced show per loop (episode_sync_next), inserting
missing episodes + marking it synced. Over time every library show gets its full
list; the on-view lazy refresh still makes the one you open instant. TMDB-only;
counts toward the worker's pending so it shows busy (not 'Complete') while syncing,
and never loops on a single failing show.
Seam tests: episode_sync_next selection + pending count, worker syncs a pre-feature
matched show to the full list.
Previously the episodes table held only what the server has (all 'Owned'), so the
detail page never showed what you're missing. Now the metadata provider defines
the full series structure and the server marks ownership:
- TMDB returns the full season list (poster optional) + full episode fields
(title/air date/runtime/still/rating) per season.
- backfill_episodes UPSERTs: owned episodes keep has_file=1; episodes the server
lacks are inserted as MISSING (has_file=0); fully-missing seasons get created.
The cascade now iterates every TMDB season, not just the ones on the server.
- The scan prune only removes SERVER-originated rows (server_id set) that vanished,
so enrichment-added missing episodes/seasons are never pruned on re-scan.
Season coverage (X / Y) is now meaningful, and the episode list shows Owned +
Missing together. Seam tests: missing-episode insert, fully-missing season,
prune preserves missing.
Phase 4: dynamic extras fetched LIVE per view (providers change, so not cached)
via GET /detail/<kind>/<id>/extras → engine.item_extras → TMDB
(videos + watch/providers + similar in one call).
- Trailer: a '▶ Trailer' action that opens an in-app YouTube modal embed (Esc /
click-away to close).
- Where to Watch: provider logos for the region (JustWatch via TMDB).
- More Like This: a poster row of similar titles linking out to TMDB.
Both movie + show pages; all keyless (same TMDB key).
Seam tests: extras parse (trailer priority, provider/similar shape), item_extras
gating on tmdb_id, route registered, markup hooks. (RT/Metacritic via OMDb needs
its own key — offered separately.)
Phase 3: the stylized transparent title logo replaces the text title in the
billboard (the big Plex/Netflix 'premium' jump). Sourced from TMDB images
(append_to_response=images, include_image_language=en,null) in the same detail
call — no Fanart key needed.
- schema v4: movies.logo_url / shows.logo_url (idempotent migration).
- TMDB client picks an English logo (then language-neutral, then any); enrichment
backfills logo_url gap-only; show/movie payloads return 'logo'.
- Billboard shows the logo img (with graceful fallback to the text title on error
/ when absent; title kept visually-hidden for a11y). Lazy on-view refresh now
also triggers when the logo is missing, so existing libraries fill it in.
Seam tests: English-logo pick, backfill + payload, schema.
- Movie cards in the library now drill into a movie-detail page (both kinds use
the same open-detail event / video-side navigation).
- New video-movie-detail subpage reuses the .vd-* hooks; video-detail.js is now
kind-aware (root() targets the active page by kind, billboard/links/actions
branch on movie vs show). Flat layout: billboard + a details strip (released /
runtime / studio / status / critic score / quality) + the shared Cast & Crew row.
- Lazy on-view backfill for movies too: engine.refresh_movie_art re-fetches TMDB
(cast/genres/backdrop/ratings) when missing, regardless of match status, via
POST /detail/movie/<id>/refresh-art. movie_match_info added.
Seam tests: movie refresh backfills cast/genres, movie_match_info, route
registered, movie subpage markup, cards clickable for both kinds.
Last capture piece, schema v3 (new people + credits tables; CREATE IF NOT EXISTS
migrates existing DBs on restart, no wipe):
- people deduped by tmdb_id; credits link to exactly one movie OR show (separate
nullable FKs + CHECK, no polymorphic id) with department/job/character/order.
- TMDB client appends credits to the detail call (free) and parses cast (name,
character, photo, billing order) + headline crew (directors/writers/creators).
- enrichment_apply backfills cast/crew gap-only (never clobbers); show/movie
detail return cast + crew. Populates on view via the existing lazy refresh-art.
- Cast & Crew section on the detail page: grouped crew line + a horizontal
cast row with circular TMDB headshots, names, characters (accent hover).
Seam tests: TMDB credit parse (+ job filtering, created_by), backfill + people
dedup across titles, gap-only no-clobber, payload shape.
Root cause: season posters / episode art backfill happen during a show's TMDB
*match*, but already-matched shows never re-run ('Retry all failed' only resets
not_found/error), so existing libraries never got the art.
Fix (Boulder's idea): fetch-on-view + cache. When a show detail opens and any
season lacks a poster, the page calls POST /detail/show/<id>/refresh-art →
engine.refresh_show_art re-fetches /tv/<id> via the TMDB client and backfills
season posters + episode art gap-only, regardless of match status. Cached, so
it's a one-time cost per show; runs once per view; re-renders when done.
Seam tests: refresh_show_art backfills a MATCHED show's seasons, needs TMDB
configured, show_match_info, route registered.
Brings the video modal to parity with music's:
- 'Process first everywhere' control (Movies/Shows/Auto) in the topbar — a global
setting that pins which kind every worker processes first. enrichment_next takes
a priority kind; the worker reads enrichment_priority each loop; GET/POST
/api/video/enrichment/priority persists it. Reuses music's .em-global styling.
- Needs-matching bar now has a live count, status filter (All unmatched / Not
found / Pending) and a debounced search (reusing .em-select / .em-search),
matching the music modal. Episode view stays read-only.
- Live glow (scoped to #vem-overlay): pulsing running dot, accent glow on the
selected worker row + active process-first/kind, and a pulsing 'now processing'
chip in the worker accent. Music's shared .em-* styles untouched.
Seam tests: priority pins kind in enrichment_next + worker honors the setting,
priority endpoint GET/POST + validation, modal feature markup pinned.
Episodes ride along with their show instead of being a separate (tens-of-thousands)
queue: when the TMDB worker matches a show, it now backfills every season's
episodes — still / overview / rating — via /tv/<id>/season/<n> (one call per
season, gap-only so server data is never clobbered). Also backfills season
overviews.
The worker manager 'knows about it': the TMDB breakdown gains an Episodes
coverage entry (matched = has art, rest = pending), shown as its own card; the
Episodes view lists episodes still missing art. It's coverage-only, kept out of
the worker's idle/pending calc so it never blocks 'Complete'.
Seam tests: client season parse, worker cascade fills episodes, gap-only backfill
+ season overview, breakdown coverage (tmdb only), missing-art list, idle calc
ignores episode coverage.
The media server rarely has distinct per-season art, so season cards fell back to
a gradient. TMDB's show detail carries a poster_path per season — the show worker
now returns those, and enrichment_apply backfills seasons.poster_url for seasons
the server left without art (gap-only, never clobbers server art). The image
proxy streams a stored full URL (TMDB) directly vs. proxying a server path.
Seam tests: TMDB returns season posters, backfill fills only missing seasons.
Enrichment now harvests the full detail payload (same call, no extra requests):
- TMDB: tagline, genres, rating (vote_average), runtime, status, first/last air
date (shows), release date + runtime (movies) — on top of overview/backdrop/ids.
- TVDB: switches to /series/<id>/extended for overview + genres.
enrichment_apply now uses BACKFILL semantics: metadata columns are written via
COALESCE(NULLIF(col,''), ?) so enrichment only fills fields the media server
left empty — it never clobbers server-provided data. Genres backfill to the
normalised link tables only when the item has none yet. Whitelist expanded for
the new columns.
Seam tests: backfill-only (server overview/genres kept, gaps filled), genre
backfill when empty, TMDB full-metadata extraction.
The worker only logged exceptions, so a normal run looked dead — no parity with
the music workers' 'Matched ... -> ID' lines. Now logs each match (noting
'(by server id)' when it used the server's provider id) and each not-found at
INFO. Logger is soulsync.video_enrichment.worker, so it already propagates to
app.log; it just had nothing to say. caplog seam test pins it.
A failed lookup CALL (network/429/5xx/timeout, or an expired TVDB token) was
recorded as 'not_found' — permanently logging a transient blip as 'no match'
and parking the item for retry_days. Now mirrors the music workers' proven
pattern:
- New 'error' status, distinct from 'not_found'; enrichment_next retries BOTH
after retry_days, so errors recover and the queue still advances (no poison
loop). breakdown/unmatched/retry-all and the modal account for it (shown with
the outstanding/pending bucket).
- TMDB/TVDB clients raise on non-200 (429/5xx) so the worker records 'error',
not a false not_found.
- TVDB re-authenticates once on a 401 (expired token) instead of failing every
match for the rest of the run.
Seam tests: error!=not_found, error retried after window, 429 raises, TVDB
token refresh, UI accounts for errors.
The deep scan stores tmdb_id/tvdb_id/imdb_id from Plex/Jellyfin, but the workers
only ever searched by title+year and ignored those ids — re-deriving matches the
server already had exact (wasteful, and a title search can mis-match).
enrichment_next now surfaces the row's known provider id; the worker forwards it
and the TMDB/TVDB clients fetch details BY ID (one call, no /search) when it's
present, falling back to title/year search only for items the server couldn't
identify. Still grabs the overview/backdrop the scan doesn't capture.
Every scan (incremental / full / deep, both entry points) now steps the
enrichment workers aside to cut DB lock contention — same as music. Mirrors
music's contract exactly: pause ONLY workers that were running (a user's manual
pause is left alone), track which we paused, and resume just those in a finally
so success, cancel, and error all clean up. Auto-pause is transient
(persist=False) so it never leaks into the saved <service>_paused flag.
Hooks are injected by get_video_scanner; the scanner is inert without them
(tests build it directly, no engine spun up). Isolated to the video side.
Pause/resume now write <service>_paused to video_settings, and the engine
restores each worker's saved pause when it's (re)built — mirrors music's
<service>_enrichment_paused boot flag. Isolated to video.db; music untouched.
