1. (correctness) Show hero rating regression: PlexBrowse's show hero rendered a
rating only when show.imdb_rating was set, so after the S6 IMDb-only change a
show with no imdb:// entry showed no rating. Now falls back to the audience
`rating` like PlexInfo.
2. (correctness) ratingMin column mismatch: the rating filter and the /facets
rating_max now key off coalesce(imdb_rating, rating) — the SAME "best score"
the badge displays — so a ratingMin picked from a shown IMDb score narrows the
right column instead of the raw audience `rating`.
3. (altitude) HU search gap: new query.vector_match() matches EITHER vector in HU
(or_(search_vector_hu, search_vector)) so a row with no HU twin stays findable
by its English title; ranking still uses the HU vector. field_recheck unions
the HU+EN per-field tsvectors in HU, staying a strict subset of the prefilter.
4. (test-coverage) Extracted the badge logic to lib/plexRating.pickRatingBadge
(shared by PlexInfo + the show hero) with a unit test (imdb-preferred, audience
fallback, 0-score, none). Backend tests added for the HU union search + the
IMDb-preferred rating filter.
5. (efficiency) Language switch no longer double-fetches the grid: browseQ is
gated on a committedLang state that lags `lang` by one render, so the
genre-clear effect settles into a single fetch instead of one throwaway fetch
with stale-language genres plus a second.
DB-lane suite 295 passed / 2 skip; FE tsc/knip/lint clean, 217 vitest pass.
E5 S6 backend half (no migration — the *_hu / rich columns exist from S5a/S5b).
Language-aware serving (?lang=hu serves the HU overlay twin, EN fallback per row):
- query.py: column pickers title_col / genres_col / vector_col; field_recheck and
meta_filter_conds take `lang`. DISPLAY/FILTER pickers coalesce(*_hu, *) (EN
fallback); SEARCH pickers use the raw *_hu column mirroring the generated
search_vector_hu (coalesce to '', not EN) so the field recheck stays a strict
subset of the GIN vector (the S2 invariant). genres_col type_coerces the coalesce
to JSONB so the GIN `.contains` survives.
- browse.py: `lang` param on /library, /facets, /item, /show (validated to en|hu).
unified_library title/vector/rank/field-scope + meta filters are language-aware
for both the movie and show branches; facets unnest the active-language genre
vocabulary (jsonb_typeof guard kept); detail endpoints serve HU title/summary/
genres/show_title with EN fallback. Episodes stay EN (not overlay-localized).
IMDb-only rating (folded-in S5b review #5):
- detail.py rich_detail: drop the audienceRating/rating fallback → imdb_rating is
NULL when there's no imdb:// Rating entry (stop mislabelling a Plex audience score
as IMDb). item_detail now also serves the `rating` column (audience score;
show_detail already did) so the UI can show it when there's no IMDb score.
Tests: test_plex_lang.py (HU title serving + EN fallback, language-specific facet
vocabulary, genre-filter language matching, item_detail lang + rating split);
test_plex_detail updated for IMDb-only. DB-lane suite 293 passed / 2 skipped; ruff clean.
Applies the three findings from the /code-review high pass on this stack:
1. to_tsquery_str moved from app.feedquery to app.utils — it's a generic
tsquery sanitizer with no feed dependency; housing it in the feed
read-model coupled the Plex browse module to the feed domain. Both feed
and plex now import it from the neutral util module.
2. feedquery.decode_cursor no longer raises fastapi.HTTPException — it raises
a plain ValueError, and routes/feed.get_feed translates it to the HTTP 400.
The read-model no longer imports fastapi, matching its "no request state"
docstring.
3. Dropped the leading underscore on the helpers that are now a cross-module
public API: feedquery {filtered_query, sort_keys, order_by, keyset_predicate,
encode_cursor, decode_cursor}; plex.query {TS_CONFIG, FIELD_COLUMNS,
field_recheck, split_csv, added_cutoff, meta_filter_conds, apply_meta_filters,
like_escape}; plex.cards {movie_card, show_card, episode_card, leaf_card}.
Genuinely-internal helpers (_channel_url, _saved_expr, _ADDED_WINDOWS,
_lib_key) keep their underscore.
Pure code motion + rename. DB-lane suite 287 passed / 2 skipped; ruff clean.
Second half of the 2026-08-17 review's "Plex query/cards extraction" — slim
the 1841-line browse.py god-module ahead of S6 (which reworks the library
query's column selection for the HU overlay).
- app/plex/cards.py: the pure grid/leaf card serializers (_movie_card,
_show_card, _episode_card, _leaf_card).
- app/plex/query.py: the library query-shaping layer — field-scope tsvector
rechecks (_TS_CONFIG, _FIELD_COLUMNS, _field_recheck) and the shared sidebar
metadata filters (_csv, _added_cutoff, _meta_filter_conds, _apply_meta_filters,
LibraryFilters, _like_escape). This is the seam S6 will touch.
browse.py imports both and keeps its route handlers; the entangled
collection/playlist card cluster (_collection_source/_collection_editable)
stays put deliberately. All helpers were browse-internal, so no external
importers change. Pure code motion — DB-lane suite 287 passed / 2 skipped;
ruff clean. browse.py 1841 -> 1667 lines.
B-core-3 (2026-08-17 review): decouple two things from router modules.
1. Feed read-model → new app/feedquery.py: the pure query-building and
row-serialization layer (feed_columns, serialize, _filtered_query,
to_tsquery_str, and the keyset-pagination helpers) moves out of
routes/feed.py, which keeps only the route handlers, _feed_params, and
the request models. The three external consumers (playlists, search,
plex/browse) now import from app.feedquery instead of reaching into the
feed router.
2. admin_user sweep: 7 modules imported admin_user via app.routes.admin
(an incidental re-export of app.auth.admin_user). Repoint them all to
the definition in app.auth (audit, channels, config, quota, scheduler,
plex/admin, plex/browse); routes.admin keeps its own import for its use.
Pure code motion — no behaviour change. Full DB-lane suite 287 passed /
2 skipped; ruff clean.
Persist the info-page rich fields that were previously read LIVE from plex.metadata() on every view —
imdb_rating (IMDb-specific, vs `rating`=audienceRating), imdb_id, tagline, and full_cast
([{name,role,thumb}]) — onto plex_items/plex_shows, and serve the detail endpoints from the row.
- migration 0065: ADD imdb_rating/imdb_id/tagline/full_cast (nullable → no rewrite/lock, unlike 0064);
NULL people_enriched_at on movie/show rows so the existing cast backfill re-fetches each once and
fills the new columns.
- new app/plex/detail.py: rich_detail(meta) (moved out of browse._rich_meta so sync + serve share one
parser) + apply_rich_detail(row, meta); wired into _enrich_people_batch and the info-page lazy fill.
- item_detail: movies serve cast/IMDb/tagline/genres from the row and keep plex.metadata(markers=True)
ONLY for markers + audio/subtitle streams (so detail survives a live-Plex outage); episodes (never
enriched) still parse detail from that live meta.
- show_detail: serves cast/IMDb from the row; `related` stays live best-effort and also lazily fills a
not-yet-enriched show.
- tests: rich_detail/apply_rich_detail parsing + persistence, backfill stamping, item_detail
outage-resilience + lazy fill + episode-live, show_detail row serving. Full suite 285 pass / 2 skip;
migration verified reversible (up→down→up).
Precondition for S6's pure-DB language-aware serving.
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.
- Efficiency: cap each person section at _PERSON_SECTION_MAX (200) so a prolific person can't
return an unbounded list the client mounts a card per row for.
- Reuse: extract the optimistic watch-toggle (flip → persist → resync) into a shared
toggleWatchState helper; the grid and the person page each supply their own cache updater.
- Correctness (scroll): onOpenPerson now stashes infoScrollRef ONLY when leaving an info page
(not from a show/grid context), and a jumped-to info page resets it — so a stale offset can't
wrongly restore a fresh info page.
- Test-coverage: add PlexPersonView.dom.test.tsx (export CastStrip + PlexPersonView) covering
the cast-row rewiring (open-person vs filter fallback) and the person page's sections + filter
+ empty state.
The name-as-identity finding is inherent to Plex cast carrying no per-person id (PlexPerson is
name-keyed too); documented in the endpoint docstring, not structurally fixable in S4.
Backend: new GET /api/plex/person/{name} returns a cast/crew member's cached headshot plus
the movies (PlexItem, kind=movie) and shows (PlexShow) in the enabled libraries whose
cast_names OR directors include the name — the inverse of the cast → filter link. Introduce a
shared _content_libs(db) helper (enabled-library partition) and reuse it in people_cards;
S5 will extend it with the HU-overlay exclusion. Watch-state comes from PlexState / rollup
(reusing _movie_card / _show_card / state_map). DB-lane tests cover cast+director credits,
library scoping, the kind filter, unknown-name empties, and the partition helper.
Frontend: a new `person` history-subview. A cast-row click (PlexInfo cast row + the show
page's CastStrip) now opens the person's filmography page instead of filtering; the filter
gesture moves to a "Filter library by {name}" button on the page itself. PlexPersonView
mirrors PlexInfoView's fetch-wrapper + glass hero (headshot + name + credit counts) and
renders Movies / Shows as PlexPosterCard grids, with an optimistic per-card watch toggle on
the person cache. New plexPerson query key + api client + PlexPersonDetail type; HU/EN copy.
Add a search scope-pill to the Plex header search box (GitHub-style, one
field-scope at a time) and an instant typeahead of the top matches below it.
Backend (unified_library):
- New `field` param: all | title | people | summary | episode. `all` is
byte-identical to the pre-scope behaviour (untouched weighted search_vector);
a specific field keeps the GIN `search_vector @@ tsq` prefilter AND ANDs a
per-column tsvector recheck, so scoped hits are a strict subset of Everywhere.
Per-field expressions mirror the search_vector Computed def (same TS config,
same left(summary,1000) truncation).
- `episode` scope empties the movie/show grid and title-only-matches the grouped
Episodes section; the title/people/summary scopes suppress that section.
- Unknown field falls back to `all`. New DB-lane characterization tests
(test_plex_field_scoped_search.py): each scope narrows correctly, field=all is
identical to today, episode empties the grid and needs shows in scope.
Frontend:
- PlexSearchBox wraps the shared SearchBar with the scope-pill (reusing
ActionMenu) and the typeahead; SearchBar gains generic leading/below/focus/
keydown slots so other modules' search boxes are untouched.
- Episode scope offered only when shows are in scope (movie-only hides it),
healed at the point of use like the sort state.
- Typeahead reuses /api/plex/library (limit=10), honours scope+field (not the
sidebar filters), shows poster+title+year, keyboard nav (arrows/Enter/Esc),
and jumps straight to a movie's info page or a show's drill-down via a new
provider jumpTo hand-off (mirrors the playlistOpen pattern).
- `field` persisted per-account; en/hu labels added.
- Restore synchronize_session=False on the remove-bulk Core delete (the 2.0
default is 'auto'; keep the pre-conversion contract explicit).
- _episode_nav: list(...scalars()) instead of [r[0] for r in ...all()], matching
the house style used across the conversion.
- Extract app/plex/lookups.by_rating_key() and migrate the get-by-rating_key
pattern at 13 sites (imgcache x4, _shared.item_or_404, playback show/season,
browse x6).
- Coverage: add TestFacetsWithData (the converted wsq aggregation with real
data — the highest-risk untested builder), TestPlaylistAndCollectionEndpoints
(playlist CRUD + collections list), and an item-state playback test.
Full suite 256 passed, 2 skipped; ruff clean.
Completes the plex-package 1.x->2.0 conversion, behaviour-equivalent (full
suite 253 passed, 2 skipped; the characterization net locks every path):
- routes/plex/browse.py (61 sites): libraries, facets (the wsq builder +
jsonb genre unnest), collections, playlists (+ bulk add/remove/reorder),
seasons, people/cards, collection strips, episode-nav, item detail, and
the unified_library union builder.
- plex/rollup.py: agg_subquery now returns a select(); state_map executes it
(the atomic unit coupled to unified_library via .subquery()).
Query builders -> select(); .filter/.filter_by -> .where; terminals ->
db.execute(...).scalars()/.all()/db.scalar(...); bulk .delete()/.update() ->
execute(delete()/update()). Zero db.query()/.filter_by remain in the package.
Mechanical 1.x->2.0 conversion of the self-contained plex modules, behaviour-
equivalent (the characterization net + existing plex tests stay green, 39
passed): app/plex/{sync(15),watch_sync(9),people(1),imgcache(4)} and
app/routes/plex/{admin(4),playback(8),_shared(1)}. Query builders become
select(); .first()/.all()->execute().scalars(); a bulk .update() ->
execute(update()); a single-column .first() -> db.scalar().
browse.py (61) + rollup.agg_subquery (the atomic unit with unified_library)
remain for wave 2.
R12 S5 item: the feed's FINISH_MARGIN_SECONDS (10) and the Plex player's
_FINISH_MARGIN_S (30) were flagged as drifted duplicates. They are a
deliberate divergence, not drift — the feed clears a short video's resume
bar, Plex marks long-form items (movies/episodes with credits) watched.
Cross-reference + document both so it reads as intentional.
Layering cleanup, no behaviour change (ruff clean backend+scripts, pytest 193):
- Invert the scheduler->routes dependency: reset_demo_state (+ its demo-seed
helpers) move from routes/admin.py to a new service module app/demo.py.
Both routes/admin.py and scheduler.py now import it from app.demo, so the
scheduler no longer reaches into the routes layer — its lazy import (the
routes<->scheduler cycle workaround) is gone, hoisted to a top-level import.
- Publish the private symbols that were imported across module boundaries (the
underscore convention was lying): feed._serialize -> serialize,
feed._to_tsquery_str -> to_tsquery_str, videos._insert_stubs -> insert_stubs,
videos._stub_from_playlist_item -> stub_from_playlist_item,
worker._uploader_url -> uploader_url, plex._shared._item_or_404 ->
item_or_404. Scoped renames — the 5 other route modules keep their own truly
private _serialize helpers.
- _release_asset moves from routes/downloads.py to app/downloads/service.py as
the public release_asset (asset bookkeeping is a service concern); the routes
call it via service.release_asset.
Cleanup only, no behaviour change (ruff clean + pytest 193):
- imports hoisted above `router =` and grouped/sorted (isort) across the split
files; ruff-format pass restores the 2-blank-line PEP8 spacing the generator
collapsed to 1.
- the shared on-disk cache root moves to a neutral app/plex/cache.py, so
subtitles.py no longer imports it from imgcache.py (drops the cross-import).
- the former plex.py module docstring's access-model note (read endpoints open
to any authed user; admin endpoints test/sync) is restored in the package
__init__.py.
R12 S1 step B. The 2011-line routes/plex.py becomes an app/routes/plex/
package:
- admin.py — connection test, catalog sync, owner watch-link config (5)
- browse.py — libraries, facets, collections, playlists, show/item, people (23)
- playback.py — image/subtitle proxies, HLS streaming, watch-state writes (10)
- _shared.py — the two genuinely cross-module helpers (_item_or_404, log)
- __init__.py — assembles `router` from the three sub-routers; the app wiring
(plex_routes.router in main.py) is unchanged.
Mechanically generated and proven behaviour-equivalent: every function/class
source relocated verbatim (get_source_segment equality) and the (method, path)
route set is identical to before. Endpoints keep the /api/plex prefix on each
sub-router. No SQL change (db.query untouched; 2.0 select() is the next step).
Gate: ruff clean, pytest 193 passed (pure-logic + DB lane).
