25 literal names covered 34 modules. plex/client.py, plex/stream.py,
plex/subtitles.py, plex/sync.py and two Plex route modules all called themselves
`siftlode.plex`; downloads/pipeline.py called itself `siftlode.worker`;
routes/channels.py called itself `siftlode.api`. The `logger` column is in every
stored row so E22.6's console can filter on it, and so an operator can pin a level
to one part of the system — neither works when six modules share a name.
`logs.get_logger(__name__)` derives it: app/plex/sync.py -> siftlode.plex.sync.
One name per module, and it cannot drift from the file it sits in.
tests/test_logger_names.py pins the derivation, that everything stays under the
one `siftlode` tree the handler and the tests attach to, and that no module
hand-rolls a name again unless the line says why (`# logger-name-ok: <why>`).
Two do: get_logger's own call, and `siftlode.http`, which is named for the traffic
it carries rather than the module it lives in — it replaced uvicorn's access log
and is what an operator pins when they want request lines and nothing else.
app/scheduler.py called its logger `logger`; every other module calls it `log`.
ruff gains LOG, G, T20, TRY400, TRY401 and S112. Four findings cleared with them:
worker.py logged `str(exc)[:120]` where the traceback was the whole question, and
three prints/f-strings that are deliberate now say so on the line. S110 and BLE001
stay off until S3 — 23 handlers are outstanding and each is a judgement about one
of them; enabling the rules first would just mean 23 blanket noqas.
The button deletes the local row and mirrors the un-mark to Plex, but it decided whether
to push from the previous STATUS alone (prev_status != "new") — and an in-progress item's
row is status="new" carrying a position, which is exactly how the importer maps a bare
viewOffset. So for the single case the button exists for, nothing was ever sent to Plex:
the offset stayed, and the next pull imported it straight back. The user cleared Protector
twice and it returned to Continue watching at 92s both times.
Push now when Plex holds anything to clear — a view count, or a resume point. "hidden"
stays Siftlode-only and pushes nothing, which is what this endpoint's docstring always
claimed and the status-only guard contradicted.
One unscrobble clears BOTH viewCount and viewOffset — measured against the live server from
a watched+offset state and an offset-only one, so the push itself needed no change. The
client docstring that claimed "clears viewCount" is what sent the first diagnosis down a
wrong path (a timeline write with time=0, which does not clear an offset at all); it now
records what the server actually does.
Verified end to end on the real Plex server: the button leaves viewCount=None viewOffset=None,
and a full 44,885-item re-import brings back no row for it.
Adds the storage + sync for the Hungarian-metadata overlay (the browsable EN sections gain HU
twin fields written from a paired HU section, matched by guid; no browsable HU rows).
Schema (2 migrations, ADD-only; run before the first HU sync while *_hu is NULL so the generated
column build is trivial):
- 0063: plex_libraries.metadata_lang ('en' default) + self-FK overlay_of.
- 0064: plex_items/plex_shows.guid (indexed) + title_hu/summary_hu/genres_hu (+ GIN) + a STORED
generated search_vector_hu mirroring the EN vector (title_hu A / people_text B / summary_hu C) + GIN.
Sync:
- includeGuids=1 on section_items so the canonical guid rides the cheap listing.
- _canonical_guid(meta) (tmdb > imdb > tvdb) captured onto every EN row in _apply_item/_sync_shows.
- Two-pass sync(): pass 1 mirrors browsable (non-overlay) sections; pass 2 reads plex_overlay_map
('huKey:enKey', new sysconfig), designates each HU section (metadata_lang='hu' + overlay_of), and
_sync_overlay writes title_hu/summary_hu/genres_hu onto the guid-matched EN rows.
Browse: _content_libs now excludes overlay libraries (overlay_of is None); the unified_library and
facets inline library partitions fold into it, and list_libraries/collections exclude overlays too.
Tests: DB-lane coverage of the overlay write (matched vs unmatched rows, no browsable HU rows, the
generated search_vector_hu populates), the guid parse, and the browse exclusion. Full suite 272
passed; migrations verified reversible (upgrade→downgrade→upgrade). S5b (persist the live detail
fields + serve item/show detail from DB) is the follow-up.
Closes the Plex #9 backend backlog (frontend was the prior follow-up). Behavior-
neutral cleanup + two two-way-sync bug fixes; PW2 verified a non-bug.
fix(plex): watch-sync PW1 pagination + PW3 lost-update guard
- PW1 watch_history: the history is a GLOBAL cross-account feed read as a single
500-row page, then filtered to the owner — on a busy family server the owner's
recent views can sit past page 1 and be missed. Now paginate (desc) until the
since-cutoff, bounded by max_pages (daily reconcile is the backstop; logs if hit).
- PW3 push_state_to_plex: it flagged synced_to_plex=True unconditionally after a
push, so a local edit landing between the push and the flag-set was marked clean
and never pushed (lost update). Capture the row's freshest timestamp when the
push is scheduled (_push_watch) and only settle the flag if the row is unchanged.
- PW2 was flagged as "accountID hardcoded to 1" but is NOT a bug: on a PMS account 1
is reserved for the owner/admin and an owner link always holds the admin token —
added a clarifying comment so it isn't re-flagged.
chore(plex): backend dedup
- PC2 unified_library + facets shared a ~13-field filter Query signature + p-dict →
one LibraryFilters dataclass injected via Depends(); as_dict() feeds the builders.
- PS-C1 sync.py collection upsert dup (resync_collection ≈ _sync_collections) →
_upsert_collection().
- PS-C2 sync.py 8-field filterable-metadata block dup (_apply_item ≈ _sync_shows) →
_apply_facet_fields().
- PW-C1 _repush_dirty read duration from the mirrored PlexItem.duration_s instead of
a per-row plex.metadata() round-trip.
- PW-C2 rk→id map built inline in two places → _rk_to_id() helper.
Restructure TV browsing into show detail → seasons → season episodes → player, like
the Plex web app.
Backend: /show/{rk} now returns a rich show page — hero meta (rating/content_rating/
genres/studio + live IMDb), live Cast & Crew, Related shows (Plex 'related', mapped to
our mirrored shows so they're openable), and per-season cards with an aggregate
watch-state + on-deck episode, plus show-level resume (on-deck)/first(play-from-start)/
status rollup. New PlexClient.related(). New bulk-state endpoints POST /show/{rk}/state
and /season/{rk}/state mark every episode watched/unwatched for the user and mirror
each change to a linked Plex account in the background (best-effort, checked once).
Frontend: PlexShowView reworked into the show detail page (hero + Resume/Play-from-start/
Mark-show-watched/Add-to-playlist/[admin]Add-to-collection + season card grid + cast +
related strips); new PlexSeasonView season subpage (hero + Resume/Play/Mark-season/
Add-season-to-playlist + landscape episode grid). Both read the one cached ['plex-show']
payload (season page picks its season out of it — instant, no extra fetch). Player queue =
the whole show (from the show page) or the season (from the season page) so prev/next +
auto-advance follow order. New 'season' history subview; Backspace steps back one drill
level (grid←show←season, out of info/playlist) alongside browser/mouse Back. Season-level
'Add to collection' intentionally omitted (Plex collections hold whole shows, not seasons).
i18n plex.series.* (en/hu/de).
Completes the two-way watch-state sync with two scheduler jobs:
- plex_watch_sync (default 30m): pull recent Plex-side changes (watch history + on-deck, filtered
to the owner account) into Siftlode under last-write-wins (_pull_apply + a _same_state ping-pong
guard + skew tolerance), then re-push any still-unsynced local states.
- plex_watch_reconcile (default daily): full section rescan; uses synced_to_plex to settle what the
incremental feed can't — notably propagating a Plex-side un-watch (clear a previously-mirrored row
Plex no longer has) — while re-pushing never-synced local states and never touching hidden
(Siftlode-only) rows. Union-preserving.
PlexClient gains accounts/watch_history/on_deck; _scan_plex_states is factored out and shared with
the one-time import. Owner accountID is resolved once and cached on the link. Both jobs are
registered in the scheduler (pause-skip, activity tracking, run-now, admin-tunable intervals) with
trilingual (HU/EN/DE) labels + descriptions. New config default plex_watch_reconcile_interval_min.
Verified live against the real Plex server: read feeds, last-write-wins, dirty re-push, the
incremental job end-to-end, and a full reconcile that cleared exactly the one un-watched item with
zero collateral across 17976 scanned.
Mirror watched/unwatched/resume from Siftlode to a linked (owner) Plex account.
- PlexClient: scrobble / unscrobble / set_timeline (/:/scrobble, /:/unscrobble, /:/timeline).
- watch_sync: link_for_push() gates on owner + sync_enabled + initial_import_done; best-effort
push_state_to_plex() runs as a background task with its own session, never raises (Plex being
down must not break the user's action), and flips synced_to_plex on success so Phase C's pull
won't bounce it back.
- item_state / item_progress schedule the push: watched/unwatched immediately, resume only on a
"final" checkpoint (pause / pagehide / unmount) — not every 10s tick — so one watch doesn't spray
/:/timeline at the server. `hidden` is Siftlode-only and never touches Plex.
- Frontend: plexProgress / plexProgressBeacon carry a `final` flag; the periodic checkpoint is
non-final, pause/pagehide/leaving the player are final.
Verified live against the real Plex server (scrobble/unscrobble/timeline round-trip + restore;
link gating; synced_to_plex flip).
Admins can curate Plex collections from a movie's info page ("Collections"
button → PlexCollectionEditor dialog): create a collection (seeded with the
movie), add/remove the movie to/from editable collections, delete a collection,
and "take over" an existing plain Plex collection (mark it editable). All writes
go to Plex (POST/PUT/DELETE via new PlexClient methods) and are reflected on
every client; a targeted single-collection re-sync (sync.resync_collection /
delete_collection_local) updates the local mirror without the full ~4-min sync.
Gating (per the design decisions): editing is ADMIN-ONLY (collections are shared
library-wide); only plain manual collections are editable — smart + external
auto-lists (IMDb/TMDb/…) are always read-only (can_edit = editable && !smart &&
source=="collection"). New admin endpoints under /api/plex/collections
(create/items add+remove/rename/delete/editable). Verified end-to-end incl. the
live Plex write API (create/add/rename/remove/delete all 200, self-cleaned) and
the editor UI (create + delete with confirm) on localdev.
Selecting a subtitle restarted the HLS session with `-map 0:s:{ord}`, assuming an
EMBEDDED stream. Films whose subs are external sidecar .srt files (Plex reports
them, but they aren't in the mkv) matched no stream; the master-playlist's
declared subtitle group then made ffmpeg fail → "Playback couldn't start".
Subtitles now go through a new GET /api/plex/subtitle/{rk}/{ord} → text/vtt
(external subs fetched from Plex via the stream key + SRT→VTT; embedded text subs
extracted with ffmpeg; image subs → 415), served as native <video><track> that
the browser overlays. So choosing/switching a subtitle is instant with NO session
restart, and stream.py drops all subtitle muxing (`-sn`, no master playlist).
Image-based subs (PGS/VobSub) are marked text=false and hidden in the picker.
Verified on prod's Nymphomaniac Vol. II: HU sidecar → 1693 WebVTT cues, no crash.
Posters/art were proxied at full resolution (many 1-7MB, some 9.5MB) into ≤176px
grid/info cells — heavy to fetch + decode, so fast scrolling lagged 1-2s even
with a warm cache (the cache removed the Plex round-trip, not the image weight).
Now PlexClient.image_bytes optionally hits Plex's /photo/:/transcode to resize
server-side; the /image endpoint requests thumb=400x600, art=1280x720 and keys
the cache by width (old full-size files orphaned, re-cached small). Measured:
a poster 5.5MB->50KB, art 8.1MB->137KB, at 400x600 (crisp on 2x DPR). Grid
scroll is near-instant and the disk cache shrinks ~8x.
Backend (migration 0047_plex_collections): a plex_collections table mirrors every Plex
collection (card metadata + smart flag + an editable flag reserved for Phase 2); membership
is stored as GIN-indexed collection_keys on member movies (plex_items) and shows (plex_shows).
The background sync (plex_sync) now fetches each library's collections + their children and
rebuilds membership — so ALL reads are local (Plex's dual-language collection queries are slow;
this trades a ~4-min background sync for instant reads). New /api/plex/collections endpoint;
/browse gains a combinable filter; item_detail returns the movie's collection
'strips' (sibling titles as playable cards, smallest/most-specific collection first) — all pure
local lookups.
Frontend: PlexSidebar gains a searchable Collection picker + an active-collection chip;
PlexInfo renders the collection strips (playable posters + 'Browse collection' → sets the
filter); the collection is part of PlexFilters (persisted). i18n en/hu/de.
Phase 2 (create/edit collections with write-back to Plex) is separate.
