Scanning is expensive and most servers auto-ingest new files, so a full crawl after
every download is usually wasted. Stage 1 now probes per library: take the newest
completed grab of that type from download history and ask the server (cheap targeted
search) whether it already has it. If yes, the server auto-picked it up (and the
earlier ones) → skip that library's crawl + poll entirely. Only libraries the server
is missing get rescanned. Always emits so stage 2 still reads the new items in.
- sources: PlexVideoSource.has_item / JellyfinVideoSource.has_item (match movie by
title+year, episode by show+SxE) + video_server_has_item() — conservative, any
uncertainty → False so we scan.
- handler: per-scope skip decision fed by latest_completed + server_has_item seams;
narrows the scan scope to only the missing libraries; toggle skip_if_present
(default on). Returns scanned/skipped for visibility.
Seam tests: skip-both, scan-only-missing, no-history, toggle-off, probe-error→scan;
Plex has_item match tests.
A fixed debounce can't fit a big library — 8500 movies + 4500 shows scan sequentially
through Plex's queue and can take 10-20 min, so the old 120s wait read the DB before
Plex finished and fresh downloads showed up late. Now Stage 1 (video_scan_server)
fires the rescan then POLLS the server until its scan queue goes idle, then emits the
done event.
- sources: PlexVideoSource.is_scanning (section.refreshing + activity feed, scoped by
media_type) and JellyfinVideoSource.is_scanning (scheduled-task state), plus
video_server_scan_in_progress() returning True/False/None.
- handler: pure wait_for_server_scan(scan_status, sleep, …) — grace, then poll every
interval until idle or a generous cap; falls back to the fixed wait only when the
server can't report status (None). debounce_seconds is now that fallback; new
max_wait_minutes caps the poll.
Seam tests for the poll logic (idle/poll/fallback/cap/lost-status), the handler wiring,
and Plex scan-status detection.
The deep-scan action types weren't selectable builder actions, and Scan Video Server
/ Update Video Database had no movie-vs-TV dimension — inconsistent with the rest.
- video_deep_scan_tv / video_deep_scan_movies are now proper builder blocks
(Deep Scan TV/Movie Library), not just system-automation action types.
- video_scan_server + video_update_database gain a media_type ('all'|'movie'|'show')
config + selector, threaded through. The post-download chain carries the scope on
the scan-done event, so a TV-only rescan updates only TV (stage 2 inherits it).
- refresh_video_server_sections / Plex+Jellyfin refresh_sections scope the server
nudge to the chosen library; auto_video_scan_library now nudges only its library.
- shared normalize_media_type() in sources; update_database skips cleanly when the
singleton scanner is busy. Defaults stay 'all' so existing chains are unchanged.
Seam tests for refresh scoping, scan-server scope+event, update-db scope/inherit/skip.
1) Scan only the MAPPED libraries — never fall back to 'all'. The scan path used
_sections/_views with the selected name, but an empty name returned ALL sections
of that type — so a missing/unreadable selection silently scanned every library
(how the 4K movie + 'YouTube' TV libraries leaked in as movies/shows). New
_scan_sections / _scan_views return [] when a kind isn't mapped; available_libraries
still lists all (for the Settings dropdown). Now an unmapped kind scans NOTHING.
2) A library scan (full/incremental/deep) now pauses EVERY enricher, including the
YouTube date enricher — a separate singleton outside engine.workers that kept
running through scans. pause_for_scan/resume_after_scan pause+resume it too, only
if it wasn't already manually paused (never override the user).
kettui: source-scope tests (mapped-only / unmapped-scans-nothing / listing still
shows all) + engine pause tests (pauses+resumes YT / preserves manual pause).
123 scanner/source/enrichment tests + isolation guard green.
The foundation for the 'Scan Video Library' automation (the video twin of music's
Scan Library). PlexVideoSource.refresh_sections() triggers a Plex scan on the selected
movie/TV sections (section.update()); JellyfinVideoSource.refresh_sections() POSTs
/Items/{id}/Refresh per selected video view (the GET-only _make_request can't POST).
Module helper refresh_video_server_sections() gets the active source and refreshes —
scoped to the user's chosen video libraries (Settings), so it scans the CORRECT media,
not music. Video-only, additive; isolation guard + (my code) ruff clean.
Give the video side its OWN server connection — pre-filled from music but stored
separately in video.db, fully isolated (video never writes music config/state).
- Effective config helpers (video_plex_config / video_jellyfin_config): video's
own creds when set, else inherited read-only from music. resolve_video_server +
_build_source + watch-link/poster/dashboard all use these (own db threaded in).
- Server Connection UI mirrors music's server picker (toggle = select + configure),
scoped to Plex/Jellyfin, at the bottom of the Connections tab.
- Jellyfin: independent client built from video's creds; explicit USER picker like
music (list users → that user's libraries); honors the pick, admin fallback.
- Honest connection diagnostics (reachable vs 401 vs no-users) instead of a vague
"auth failed".
- Auto-save on change with toasts; the shared Save button is intercepted on the
video side so it saves video settings (and can't fire a music save).
- Enrichment status now PUSHES over the socket like music (no browser polling /
access-log flood); config save only rebuilds workers when an API key changed.
- Seam tests for effective-config inheritance/override + isolation guard.
Two real coupling bugs, fixed:
- resolve_video_server still fell back to the music active server when no explicit
video pick was set, so changing the music server changed video. Removed: video
now uses ONLY an explicit video pick or the configured server(s) (Plex default
when both). Changing the music server never changes video.
- The shared settings page could persist active_media_server from the video side.
Guarded saveSettings itself (not just the debounced auto-save) so it NEVER runs
while data-side=video — video saves only via /api/video/*.
Test: video does not follow the music active server. One-way isolation, both ways.
The video side now uses a configured Plex/Jellyfin on its own (resolve_video_
server), not config_manager.get_active_media_server(). So a music-only server
(Navidrome/SoulSync) never applies to video, and 'Navidrome for music + Plex for
video' works. Order: explicit video pick (video_server setting) → music-active if
video-capable → the single configured one → Plex if both → None. Seam tests cover
each case incl. the mixed setup.
Captures the richer metadata the media server already exposes (schema v2;
idempotent migrations + CREATE IF NOT EXISTS, so an existing DB upgrades on
restart with no wipe):
- movies: tagline, rating (audience), rating_critic; shows: tagline, rating,
first/last air date; episodes: still_url + rating.
- Genres as a normalised many-to-many (genres + movie_genres/show_genres link
tables — no comma-blob), deduped, replace-on-upsert.
- Plex (.genres/.tagline/.audienceRating/.rating/.thumb) + Jellyfin (Genres/
Taglines/CommunityRating/CriticRating/Premiere+EndDate/episode Primary) both
extract them; episode stills served via /api/video/poster/episode/<id>.
- Detail payloads return genres/tagline/rating/air-dates + per-episode has_still;
the billboard shows a tagline, ★ score, genre chips, and episode rows render
REAL stills (no more orange placeholder once scanned).
Seam tests for genre dedup/replace, show+episode capture, episode still ref.
Cast/crew (people + credits) is the next phase.
Addresses the 'feels basic' feedback:
- Hero is now a contained glass card with the backdrop blurred INSIDE it +
gradient overlay (same treatment as the music artist hero) — no more bare
gaps around the top/sides. Bigger poster, accent external-link chips
(IMDb/TMDB/TVDB), refined badges + stat tiles.
- Seasons are a poster-art card grid (season = album) with coverage rings/bars
and hover-lift, selecting one renders its episodes below (episode = track) —
episode overviews now shown. Mirrors the artist album-grid -> tracklist.
- Scan now captures real per-season posters (Plex sh.seasons() thumbs / Jellyfin
/Seasons Primary), served via get_art_ref('season') + /api/video/poster/season.
Falls back to the show poster until a re-scan populates them.
Seam tests for the season art ref; shell markup tests still green.
The servers already matched everything to their agents — we were dropping the
IDs. Now we store them:
- Plex: parse item.guids (imdb://, tmdb://, tvdb://); Jellyfin: parse
item.ProviderIds (added ProviderIds to the requested Fields).
- Stored on movies (tmdb_id, imdb_id), shows (tvdb_id, tmdb_id, imdb_id), and
episodes (tvdb_id) via the upserts.
- Dropped the over-strict UNIQUE on movies.tmdb_id / shows.tvdb_id (same title
can legitimately live in two libraries; we dedupe on server_id). Scanner now
wraps each upsert in try/except so one bad item can't abort a scan.
Tests: guid/ProviderIds parsing + IDs persisted. 38 video-DB/scanner tests green.
The scan tool now behaves like music's, not just looks like it:
- Card matches: help '?' button, 'Last Scan' line, and the Movies/Shows/
Episodes/Size stats grid (populated from /api/video/dashboard on show + after
a scan). Same .tool-card-stats markup.
- Real progress bar: scanner fetches item totals up front (Plex section.
totalSize / Jellyfin TotalRecordCount) and reports a true percent as it
processes; the bar actually moves (movies → shows) instead of sitting at 100%.
- Cancel: the Scan button toggles to 'Cancel' mid-scan and POSTs
/api/video/scan/stop; the scanner checks a cancel flag between items and ends
in a 'cancelled' state. Mirrors music's stop affordance.
Tests: percent reported, cancel stops midway + saves only processed items, stop
route registered, tool-card structure. 117 video/integrity tests green.
- Paginate Jellyfin movie/series listings (StartIndex/Limit, 500/page) so large
libraries aren't truncated on full/deep scans; incremental stays a single
capped page.
- Per-item try/except in iter_movies/iter_shows (matches Plex) so one bad item
doesn't abort the scan.
- Skip Jellyfin episodes with no IndexNumber (consistency with Plex; avoids
ep-0 collisions). All three modes now solid for Plex + Jellyfin.
The scan no longer blindly grabs every movie/show section — it reads the
libraries you map, like music's 'pick your Music library'.
- GET /api/video/libraries: discover the active server's Movies/TV libraries
(Plex sections by type / Jellyfin views by CollectionType) + current
selection. POST: save {movies, tv} per server into video_settings.
- sources.py: _build_source(movies_lib, tv_lib) filters to the mapped library;
get_active_video_source() (used by the scanner) loads the saved selection;
list_video_libraries() lists them unfiltered for the UI. Falls back to all
libraries when nothing is mapped yet.
- VideoDatabase.get/set_library_selection (per-server). 6 tests added; 33 green.
Plex specials/unmatched episodes can have a null index -> getattr(...,0) still
returned None -> 'NOT NULL constraint failed: episodes.episode_number'.
- Plex adapter skips episodes with no index (logged), passes a real number.
- upsert_show_tree defensively skips any episode missing season/episode number,
so no source can crash a scan. Test added.
The scan inherited the shared client's 15s interactive timeout and fetched
episodes per-season (one request each), so a big library read-timed-out
mid-scan (port 32400).
- Dedicated Plex connection for scans with a 120s timeout (built from the
shared config; doesn't touch the interactive client).
- Fetch a show's episodes in ONE show.episodes() call grouped by season,
instead of seasons()+episodes() per season — far fewer round-trips.
- Per-item try/except in iter_movies/iter_shows so one slow/bad item is skipped
and logged, never aborting the whole scan.
Mirrors the music model (full_refresh vs smart incremental, plus deep_scan):
- incremental: only recently-added items from the server (Plex addedAt:desc /
Jellyfin DateCreated, capped); upsert; no prune.
- full: every item; upsert all (refresh metadata + add new); no prune.
- deep: every item; upsert; prune what the server no longer has (empty-scan
safety preserved).
scanner.request_scan/scan_sync take mode; /api/video/scan/request reads
{mode} from the body (default full); adapters take incremental=. Tests cover
deep-prunes / full-doesn't / empty-deep-safety / incremental-requests-recent.
Reads the active media server and mirrors it into video.db, adapting the music
scan pattern (ask the server, upsert, prune what's gone) — isolated from music.
- core/video/scanner.py: server-agnostic VideoLibraryScanner. Consumes a media
source (duck-typed) yielding normalized dicts; upserts movies + show trees,
prunes removed items, reports progress/state. Skips pruning when a scan
returns nothing (transient-failure safety). Background thread + scan_sync.
- core/video/sources.py: Plex + Jellyfin adapters that REUSE the shared
connected clients (MediaServerEngine) but own all video-section logic; produce
normalized dicts. (Validated against a live server by design; scanner itself
is fully unit-tested with a fake source.)
- api/video/scan.py: POST /api/video/scan/request, GET /api/video/scan/status.
- .gitignore: video_library.db + sidecars (mirrors music); tests inject a
tmp DB so none is ever created in the repo.
Tests: scan populate/prune/empty-safety/no-source-error, isolation guard
(core/video imports nothing from music), scan routes registered. 101 green.
