rss_all_failed is a plural pair counted on the raw total (the values are
formatted strings, which pick no plural form); both sentences end with a
stop. The Hungarian 'show N more' uses the house's megjelenítése.
The playlist rows, the search box and the collection picker still
fetched the 400px poster for a 32-80px picture. A contract test pins the
set of bare Plex pictures, and the srcset widths to imgcache.SIZES.
At text size 1.3 a 242px feed thumbnail put the 63px Play 13px into the
hover row (the Play grows with the root font, the picture's height does
not). A picture narrower than 14rem centres the Play and the resume pair
above the row; the picture box is a size container for it.
The Downloads title and channel links were 21px tall inline boxes; they
stand on a 24px line now (B1). The player's description says a failed
load, with a retry, instead of 'No description' (both the side panel
and the popover).
NEXT_PAGE joins ANY fetch in flight: a read-ahead during an invalidation
or a poll joined that refetch and appended no page, and nothing asked
again until the reader moved the range (the channel page during a
backfill). The read-ahead now waits while the list fetches anything
(mayReadAhead, re-run on isFetching); a Load older click cancels a poll
instead (nextPageOnClick).
A page turn to a revealed row restarted the progressive mount at 30
rows; Channels focuses that row in the next commit, and at index 40 of
a 50-row page it was not there, so focus fell to <body>. The mount now
reaches through the revealed row.
A 1-2 letter prefix matched most of the library and ts_rank scored every
match: "m" took ~4-8 s on prod against ~150 ms now. The prefix match
starts at three characters (MIN_PREFIX_LEN); shared by the YouTube feed
and the Plex library search.
A watch-state scope (watched / in progress / unwatched) joined the per-user episode rollup into
each show facet query: five passes over the user's episodes per call, half of a filtered facets
request. The shows in scope are now resolved once and every group filters on their ids; the
grid-parity test holds the counts. Localdev: 99 -> 61 ms.
Cards fetched the full cuts: a 400x600 poster (~38 KB) for a ~144px picture and the 1280x720
backdrop (~162 KB) for a ~212px shelf picture. The image proxy now also cuts thumb_sm (240x360)
and art_sm (480x270), cached apart; card pictures (grid, shelves, collection tiles, Up next) carry
both in srcset with sizes=auto, so the browser picks by laid-out width and DPR. Localdev:
17 KB a poster, 56 KB a backdrop. The detail page keeps the full cuts.
The views, duration and title sorts had no index: every page read the whole videos heap and kept a
top-N (prod 350 ms a page, 550-780 for title). Migration 0096 adds one per direction and, for title,
per reader collation, in the exact ORDER BY feedquery builds. Localdev prod copy: plain sorts
180-310 ms -> ~1 ms, page 20 3-5 ms, narrow filters unchanged. view_count/duration are only written
by the enrich, which already rewrites indexed columns, so no HOT update is lost.
The title indexes are the first on an ICU collation, and postgres:16-alpine floats: collation.heal_drift
rebuilds them (CONCURRENTLY) at startup when Postgres reports the ICU version moved.
test_feed_sort_indexes holds every videos sort to an index and checks the rebuild.
react-query's fetchNextPage cancels a next page still loading and sends it again by default.
Our requests ignore the abort signal, so the server ran both: the feed's read-ahead effect
re-runs on scroll frames before isFetchingNextPage reaches it, and on prod every feed page
went out 2-3 times (a 0.8 s title sort queued to 2.3 s). Every call now passes NEXT_PAGE
({cancelRefetch: false}), lint-enforced, with a contract test.
The channel manager's All page (~400 rows) blocked one frame for 0.7-0.9 s on prod to mount,
and every sort and search key re-rendered every row (300-400 ms). No single cell is to blame,
measured column by column. DataTable now mounts the first 30 rows at once and 40 more per
background transition; a new page, size, sort, filter or caller-side search (narrowedBy)
starts over from the first rows. A row is its own component, so the compiler keeps the rows a
step already holds.
GET /api/channels summed every subscribed channel's videos by reading each video's heap page
(681 MB on prod): 51-61 ms warm, but 2.25 s on a first open and 6.4 s under EXPLAIN once the
table had left memory. /feed/summary and /feed/years did the same (~140 ms warm, ~800 ms cold).
Migration 0095 replaces ix_videos_channel_pub_desc with the same key INCLUDING the columns
those queries read, so they are Index Only Scans over a 25 MB index. A test holds the queries
and the index's column list together.
The admin Configuration page did a db.get per setting (two for an unset one): it now reads
every override in one query (~40 ms of ~55 on prod).
The hero's grid row is as tall as the crew column beside the text, and the poster, a flex child,
stretched to it: a 2:3 picture drawn ~175x590 and cropped. It now aligns to the top, and a wide hero
gives the movie and show poster a bigger rung (w-56). The crew, the hero's tallest part, shows its
first 6 names and a 'Show N more' toggle; a list of 8 or fewer shows whole.
- Channel page: the banner and identity block fold away once the grid scrolls
(ui/scrollFold: folds past 32px only if the page can stay scrolled, unfolds
at the very top) and the name rides in the tab row. One Back button in both
states keeps its focus; folded at a tablet width the actions wrap instead of
pushing the page sideways.
- Plex movie and show pages: the TMDB facts over the key crew are the hero's
second column (plexDetailAside), the keywords sit under the text; the show
page shows them for the first time, with the same three toggles. A
collection's hero is sized to its text.
- YouTube player, 1280px and wider: the title, channel, actions, description
and queue sit in a side panel beside the video, which takes the window's
height (1438x809 at 1920x911, was ~1008 wide). The wheel scrolls that panel
while it can and turns the volume elsewhere.
- DESIGN.md decision log: the keywords' place under the text.
"1 seasons", "Synced 1 subscriptions", "1 video(s) were skipped": 21 English
strings carried {{count}} in one plain key and read plural at one. Each is a
_one/_other pair now (Hungarian keeps one form for both), and so is every other
counted string, so the next wording change is a plural too. A contract test
holds the rule for every locale file.
Settings, Configuration, Statistics and Users kept the last sub-tab in localStorage, so every
fresh tab opened Configuration on "Plex" as if that were its home. useTabPersistedState keeps it
in sessionStorage (account-scoped): a reload and a trip to another page keep it, a new tab starts
on the first sub-tab. The pre-selects (a Review link, the Google-link return) write the same store;
a value an older build left in localStorage is cleared on first read.
- NavRailGroup: one "Admin" rail row opening a panel of the admin pages (links, so a
middle-click still opens a tab); the rail fits 133% zoom without a hidden scroll
- sysconfig.SECTIONS orders the config groups under four headings (every group in exactly
one, test-held); the page shows them as Settings' side list (Tabs `group` headings);
the lone registration group reads "Registration" under "Access"
- StatTiles / StatTile / StatBars: the Statistics overview's figures as tiles, the
per-operation quota use as horizontal bars (a zero draws none)
The owner read a fold that broke at every other job as the same row five
times. A job's successful runs now fold into one row at the newest run's
place across other jobs and admin actions; only that job's own failed or
skipped run breaks the fold (it stays its own row, and older successes
start a new fold below it).
- Nav rail page rows are real links (/?page=<id>): a middle-click or
Ctrl-click opens the page in a new tab; a plain click stays in-app.
- A fresh channel page shows the unwatched videos; a picked watch state
is a remembered preference (channelShow).
- Users: the role, suspend and delete move into the row's one menu
(the "…", right-click, Shift+F10); locked ones keep their reason.
- Audit log: back-to-back successful runs of one job fold into one row
that opens to the earlier ones; a failed run reads in the danger colour.
- DESIGN.md decision log: the E31 picks.
The audit log showed a failed RSS poll as the server's English sentence
under a Hungarian UI. A job can now raise progress.JobFailed(reason,
message, **params): the scheduler stores the reason and params as the
run's data (dashboard, manual-run notice, audit row) beside the English
line, and the client renders scheduler.failure.<reason>. The RSS outage
names its first channel and the reason code (HTTP 404 vs unreachable).
An upstream's own error text stays as raised (diagnostic).
- The browser tab names the place and the object: PageHeading reports the
view's own title (lib/documentTitle), so a channel, playlist or any Plex
view reads "<object> · <module> · Siftlode" however it was opened; the
Feed is named too; a season adds its show (tabTitle).
- The channel page's tab + action row wraps and lets the tag lane fold into
"+N": at 1024 it ran past the edge and the page scrolled sideways.
- The YouTube player card's width is capped from the window height less the
chrome measured under the video: at 133% zoom (685px) it cut its channel row.
- Plex certificate words (Not Rated, Approved, Passed) are named through the
vocabulary on the info badge, show page, collection, filter and chips.
- DESIGN.md: the zoom target is 125% and 133%, not 200% (decision log).
E31 S1: the welcome is rendered once, at account creation, so an account that
switched language kept it in the old one (the owner's, English under a
Hungarian UI). A stored copy is recognised by its opening line (derived from
WELCOME) and served in the reader's language; other system messages stay as
stored.
- Person page: a bio ask that fails says so with a retry instead of reading as 'no biography'.
- Show page: the summary is a ClampedText (5 lines + More), like the person and collection pages;
one More/Less pair (plex.textMore/textLess) for all three.
- Channels: a re-slotted row is placed in the language the server orders by (the stored
preference, else English), not the UI's guess.
- A skipped run's body is only the reason (its title already says skipped).
- HU: Behúzási kvótatartalék; Eseménynapló ürítve / az eseménynaplót; indok; közvetlenül
játszható / közvetlen közvetítés in the Plex hints.
- Tests: ClampedText re-measures on a resize, the show summary clamp, serverOrderLang.
- warm_portraits: only 404/410 mark a headshot dead (measured: Plex answers a dead CDN file 404);
a refused token or a 5xx is Plex failing, ends the run after three in a row and marks nothing.
'failed' counts every failure, not only the current streak.
- is_portrait_url: plain path segments only — no dot or empty segment an HTTP client folds onto
one file; person_thumb_url uses the same predicate (27 852 stored headshots all pass).
- Tests: Plex refusing (401/403/429/5xx), failures between successes (portraits and bios), the kept
original served from cache, the audit_clear / demo_reset / discovery_purge rows' counts as data,
and the 0094 backfill on real rows.
- audit log: a job run named from its result data (nested phases too), a skipped run says so, a
secret's reset reads as a reset, choices named as Configuration names them, interval / batch /
counts localized; the inbox shares the same jobRunText
- HU: remux is "Közvetlen közvetítés" (it shared "Közvetlen lejátszás" with direct play); backfill is
behúzás, enrich is dúsítás, collection is kollekció, the allow-list is fehérlista; the last
"jobnak" / "transzkódolás"; a test holds the options of one choice to distinct names
- contract: every skipped / reason word a job returns is named in both languages
- person page: the bio wait is timed from the open and a failing ask stops the polling; ClampedText
(ui) shared with the collection page, whose short summary lost its dead More
- a playlist names season 0 the Specials; the channel re-slot compares in the reader's alphabet; an
invite's date is in the admin's language; the language-ordered lists are asked again once a
language switch is saved (saveLanguage)
- poster grids' column minimum in rem; lint refuses minmax(Npx,…)
- people_enrich: a failed TMDB lookup or a dead headshot is skipped, not the end of the run (a dead
file is marked and left for a week; three failures in a row end it); portraits wait for the Plex
module switch; a no-Plex original keeps its own cache key, so the resize still replaces it; the job
entry lives in the plex domain (run_people_enrich)
- person-image takes only a headshot-shaped CDN url (no query variants of one file)
- every synced row gets Hungarian genres, and a HU genre filter matches the word as picked too;
migration 0094 fills the rows no overlay reached
- a job run's audit row carries its result as data; audit_clear / demo_reset store their counts
- one credit-column list for the prune and the enrichment order; _overlay_pass typed
- tests: batch skip + stop, HU bio stored, dead headshots, module switch, the person-image route,
the job body, genre filter + facet write + twin fallback, tagline/summary fallbacks, audit data,
the reader's alphabet at every remaining collated() call site
With one to three titles (about one person in five) the rail sat at the far edge of the hero with a gap
between it and the bio. The person's column is now capped at the bio's reading measure and a short rail
follows it directly, so the leftover is the panel's end (owner pick "b"). Four or more keep half the hero.
The rules covered each piece; nothing asked whether a screen works as a whole, and the person page passed
every rule with half its panel empty. New chapter: the space is used, one focal point, worst real data,
where am I, a click answers at once (no outside service on open), zoom and text size first-class (the
owner reads zoomed in). Conformance step 5 writes one composition line per screenshot and checks 200%
zoom and the largest text size. Anti-patterns and a decision-log row to match.
HU: the download worker setting reads "Párhuzamos letöltések" (a leftover from the S5 sweep).
The biography sat at reading width in the left half of a full-width panel with nothing on the right.
Now the person (headshot, facts, the bio clamped to eight lines with More / Less when it is cut) is on the
left and "Known for" on the right; with fewer than four titles the rail takes only its posters' width.
One column where the panel is narrow (200% zoom, the largest text size).
While the server fetches a bio (`enriching`), the page shows a paragraph skeleton (a new "text" shape of
LoadingState) and asks again every 1.5 s for up to 20 s. The view is keyed by the person's name, so
another person starts fresh.
A person's TMDB bio was fetched only when their page was first opened, off the request path, so the first
open showed no bio and the page never asked again (2 of 18,202 linked people were ever enriched).
- people_enrich scheduler job (every 10 min, 300 per run): linked people's bios from TMDB and their
portraits into the image cache, the most-credited people first. A failed TMDB lookup ends the batch.
- Portraits are resized through Plex's photo transcoder to a 320 box (~15 KB instead of ~170 KB; the
person-image proxy uses the same cache key, and a full-size original is removed as its small twin lands).
- The person response says `enriching` while a bio is on its way (a person the job hasn't reached yet).
- "Known for" is ranked by vote count, without guest visits as themselves (talk shows had crowded out the
films: Tom Cruise had 14 of 15), with directed works, from a 40-deep pool; the page shows up to 15.
Migration 0093 un-stamps enriched people so the job refetches them.
- A phased job result (backfill, people_enrich) now counts as a change for the audit trail; before, an
automatic backfill run that added videos was never audited.
- HU: the watch reconcile job reads "egyeztetés" (a leftover from the S5 sweep).
The audit log showed the server's fixed English lines ("rss_poll: ok — new=5, failed=0",
"log_level = DEBUG", "Background sync paused") to a Hungarian reader. The details are rebuilt from the
row's data on the client: a job run names the job and its result as the inbox does, a config change
names the field and its values (on/off, grouped counts, "default"), a pause/resume adds nothing the
action does not say. A failed run keeps its error text (diagnostic). parseSummary reads enrich's bare
count ("50") back as `enriched`, as the server's `_result_data` names it — the audit and old notices
keep only the one-liner. No backend change; old rows render too.
Found in the Hungarian UAT: a toolbar SelectTrigger's text value wrapped out of the pill in a narrow
place (the playlists rail) — it now truncates in its own span; the Channels "Prioritás" and "Utolsó
feltöltés" headers were clipped by their fixed columns — sized for the label, funnel and sort arrow;
a sortable header is at least 24px wide (Hungarian "Ki" was a 12px target). PRE-EXISTING, any
language: the messages unlock button and "Forgot passphrase" sat flush — one gapped row.
The D3 list: Feed, Shorts, Admin, Token, Port stay; stream, Prio, Job, Audit, Demo, Auto, Info,
Frontend/Backend, Backfill and transcode get the Hungarian word (közvetítés, Prioritás, Feladat,
Eseménynapló, Demó, Automatikus, Infó, Felület/Szerver, videók behúzása, átkódolás). The final sweep
also took out reset/sync/reconcile/setup/logs/whitelist/email, and three features that went by two
names: access requests (kérés/kérelem), backfill (betöltés/behúzás), and the connection test
("Check the connection" beside "Test connection", in both languages). Two quota actions shared one
Hungarian name. The playlists rail title and two of its sort labels are shorter so they fit.
DESIGN.md Copy: the rule and its decision-log row.
The /person fetch appends translations and keeps TMDB's Hungarian biography beside the instance-language
one (new plex_people.biography_hu, migration 0092). A Hungarian reader is served it, the English one when
TMDB has none. Already-enriched people are un-stamped, so their next open refetches them once.
"Full history: done / requested" counted every subscribed channel whose
back-catalog was complete in the numerator - also the ones another user asked
for, or short enough to finish on their own - against only the channels this
user requested, so the Stats page read "342/329". The numerator now counts the
requested channels that are done; "channels without full history yet" still
counts every subscribed one.
Every locale formatter takes the language as an argument. Under the React
Compiler a formatter that read the i18n singleton was memoized on its other
arguments, so a card kept "2 hr 4 min" after a switch to Hungarian; plexLang()
had the same flaw and left Plex queries in the old language. Components now
take the language from useTranslation, and the signature makes forgetting it
a type error.
- ratings, file sizes, stream stats: the language's decimal mark ("8,3")
- view and subscriber counts compact in the language ("1,2 E")
- seconds as the language's unit ("6 mp") in the sliders and the stats
- a person's birth and death dates as dates, not ISO strings
- A-Z lists by the shown name in the language's alphabet (compareText),
the tag catalog re-sorted by its translated names
- lint local/locale-format (was date-format) also refuses Intl.NumberFormat
outside lib/format.ts, localeCompare, and a component reading the language
off the i18n singleton
The Postgres image is Alpine, whose en_US.utf8 is byte order: "Életrajzi" and
"Ötödik" sorted after "Zorró" in the feed, the channel lists, the Plex grid,
its genres and collections. `app/collation.py` names the ICU collation of the
reader's language (hu-x-icu puts "Ö" after "O" and "Cs" after "Cu"), wraps
every text ORDER BY with it - the feed's keyset cursor compares with the same
expression, so paging walks the order it sorted in - and orders the lists built
in Python (genre and studio facets, collection members, the discovery re-sort)
through the same collation. Plex title tiebreaks use the shown (HU) title.
- lib/vocab + the `vocab` locale area: TMDB crew jobs and departments, auto-tags (D1 A: the data
stays English, the catalog is named at its one source, useTags), built-in download profiles,
YouTube topics; held key-for-key to the backend's own lists by backendIds.contract.
- Countries by ISO code: TMDB parse stores {code, name}; rows stored before are coded from TMDB's
own country list in one request (run_enrich); Intl names them, historic codes (YU, SU, XI…)
from the catalog.
- Player tracks named from the language tag, forced/SDH flags and codec tail, not Plex's
server-language displayTitle; no invented "Audio N" on the server.
- Download lifecycle notices (shared / expiring / expired / evicted) named from data; the share
notice carries the title.
- Scheduler: the job result rides along as data and is named per key (dashboard + run notice).
- Invite status named; a render crash's notice no longer shows the engine's English message.
- Fix: YouTube links …/wiki/Humour, the tagger looked for "Humor" — Comedy never came from a topic.
Found in the S1b UAT: 'Mert megnézted: Batman Forever' kept the English title, and
the info page's TMDB recommendations kept TMDB's English titles even for titles we
hold. A held recommendation is now named as the library names it, in the reader's
language; one we lack keeps TMDB's title.
The grid served Hungarian titles, but every other card surface (Discover rails, the
show page's episodes, search, collections, the person page, playlists, Home's resume
rail, hero and comfort shelf) served English. The card serializers now take a
required keyword-only lang (a forgotten call site fails instead of going English), and
each of those reads takes ?lang=hu, with the language in its query key. A Hungarian
search finds an episode by its Hungarian title too.
An episode on a poster rail showed its 16:9 still cropped into a poster, titled only
with the episode name; it now shows the show's poster and name, with S·E · title under
it (option A). Plex's generic season names (Season 1, Specials) are rebuilt from the
number in the reader's language; a season with a name of its own keeps it.
Home's comfort-shelf move wrote its optimistic order to the key without the language,
which nothing read any more; it writes the query's own key.
The HU TV section lists every episode with its Hungarian title and summary, but the
overlay read only movies and shows, so every episode stayed English. It now overlays
the episodes too, and the HU tagline (new tagline_hu column, served on ?lang=hu).
Plex's HU agent returns a mixed genre vocabulary (Action beside Dráma), and a title
with no HU twin kept its English list, so the HU genre list showed Drama and Dráma.
plex/genres.py maps every genre word to one Hungarian word; the overlay writes it
into genres_hu for every row, and a HU genre filter is read through the same map,
so a saved filter still holding Action keeps matching.
The server gate's frontend job went red on 0.96.0: PlexPlaylistView's j/Delete
test pressed j after the rows painted but before useListNav's passive effect
registered the list, so the key did nothing on the slower runner. Every test
that presses a list key after an async load now waits for [data-nav-list] on
its list first (PlexPlaylistView, Playlists, Home, PlexDiscover). Checked
against a 30 ms delayed registration: the old tests fail, the new ones pass.
E28: one action list per object, keyboard reorder, touch drawers and player
controls, the table pager, plus four deep-review fix rounds (playlist sync
locking, player restart and focus behaviour).
The repeats of a Space/Enter that landed on faded bands pressed the control once the bands were up;
they are swallowed with it. A play or pause while a session restart is out now sets that session's
intent instead of playing the outgoing stream. Tests: Skip intro outside the bands keeps its keys,
every restore takeover (wheel, finger, scrollbar, key) is covered, and the chip handoff test tells
the chip before from the row's first control.
A delete landing while a push read YouTube left a plan over no items, so the push emptied the
YouTube playlist a local-only delete keeps: the push now stops at a vanished list (PlaylistGone,
404), and a delete is refused while a sync of the list runs. The closing baseline fingerprints the
title YouTube got, not the one its lock re-reads, so a rename made during the writes stays dirty.
The other-tab test helper bounds its lock wait, so a lock-order regression fails instead of hanging.
