Pick any number of channels; they OR together and every other filter applies
across the lot — "the last week's unwatched from these three".
`channelId`/`channelName` are replaced outright by `channelIds: string[]`, no
legacy reader (standing rule: no back-compat unless asked — a saved view written
against the old field simply loses its channel filter). The wire and the share
URL move with it: repeated `channel_ids` params, `?channel=a,b`. Backend ORs via
`Video.channel_id.in_()`; the count endpoint shares the same params object.
Two things the migration exposed:
- SavedViewsWidget fed DB blobs straight into serializers that now index an
array — the FeedFilters type says nothing about what an older build wrote, so
the blob is coerced where it enters. It white-screened the app before this.
- Chips carried channelName to label themselves. Without it they resolve names
from the channel cache, so they now fall back to the id, not a shared
"This channel" that would render N identical chips while the cache loads.
Channel page: the actions sat in the header's top-right corner, a page-width
mouse trip from anything else you'd click. There are only ever two tabs, so
they ride the tab row now, right next to About.
Channel picker: drop the 50-row cap — 320 plain buttons cost nothing to render
(the feed virtualises thousands), so the whole list scrolls in the same box. The
cap was caution, not a measurement. The box gets the app's usual edge-fade to
hint at more, and a line saying "Priority first, then A-Z" — the backend orders
by `priority DESC, lower(title)`, which reads as random to anyone who hasn't set
a priority.
`filters.channelId` was settable by exactly one thing: a "?channel=" URL from a
shared view. The panel still rendered a CHANNEL card whose only control was
"remove" — a remove button for a filter the UI could not apply.
Two ways in now. The panel gets a real Channel group (searchable picker,
first-class alongside date/tags/language, so the chip row surfaces it for free);
normalizeLayout appends it to saved layouts, so nobody loses their arrangement.
And a subscribed channel's page gets "Show in my feed", which applies the filter
and keeps the rest of your filters — the point is "this channel, the way I
normally read", which the channel page itself can't answer (it runs show=all,
scope=all over the whole catalog).
The picker owns its channel query so a few-hundred-entry list loads when the
panel is actually opened, not on every feed visit, and says "showing 50 of N"
rather than quietly stopping.
The shared SidePanel now follows the nav rail's model, so Filters, Plex and
Playlists all inherit it: unpinned it sits as a small tab docked flush against
the rail (replacing the full-height vertical strip) and expands into the card on
hover or keyboard focus without pushing content; pinned it stays expanded
in-flow. The collapse toggle became pin/unpin, and panels now default to
unpinned. The tab carries the active-filter count and an accent ring.
The tab stays mounted under the open card on purpose: swapping it out from under
the pointer drops the hover that opened the card, and unmounting it while
focused strands keyboard focus.
Measured: feed content starts at 123px instead of 336px when unpinned.
Restructure the app shell into three top-level columns:
- The per-user sync status (video counts + live sync state) moves from the top bar to a
compact block at the top of the left nav rail (icon-only with a tooltip when collapsed).
- The feed's Mine/Library scope toggle moves to the top of the filter sidebar.
- The filter sidebar becomes a full-height sibling column with its own collapse control
(a thin rail carrying the active-filter count), mirroring the nav rail. The top bar is
now just the feed search / page title.
- Both panels' collapsed state is persisted to the user's preferences (server-side, so it
follows the account across devices), seeded from a localStorage cache to avoid a flash.
Default: both panels open.
A new "Saved views" filter-sidebar widget (SavedViewsWidget): save the
current filters under a name, apply one with a click (active-highlighted
when it matches), rename, delete (confirm), drag-reorder, share by link
(reuses shareUrl), and star one as the default. The default view's filters
are mirrored to localStorage so loadInitialFilters applies it synchronously
on load/F5 (an api/url share link still wins; no default → last-session
filters as before). Hidden for the demo account. EN/HU/DE.
- Channel-row tags show only what's attached; a '+' opens a per-channel picker. Clicking a tag
filters the feed by it; a 'Your tags' sidebar widget makes that filter visible/clearable.
- Tag manager dialog (add/rename/delete; delete only confirms when the tag is in use), reachable
from the Channel manager and the feed sidebar; hovering a tag's count lists its channels, each a
link that focuses it in the Channel manager (DataTable gains an external filter input).
- Video cards get a reset action that clears all watch state (incl. an in-progress position).
- api.req() now raises the error dialog on 5xx and 400/409/422 with the server's reason.
Add a share button next to Clear all that copies a link reproducing the current
filter view (filters, sort, scope) to the clipboard, with a confirmation toast.
This is the opt-in replacement for the old always-on URL mirroring. Trilingual.
The AND/OR ("Any"/"All") control for topic chips was a single faint corner link
that was easy to miss. Replace it with a labelled segmented control ("Match:
[Any][All]") so the AND option is discoverable. New trilingual 'match' label.
Topic and language chips now show live channel counts for the current filter
context instead of the static global count, and chips that match nothing are
hidden (selected chips stay so they can be cleared). Selecting a channel (or any
filter) drops the now-irrelevant chips and updates the rest. Extract a shared
filterParams() so the feed and facets queries see identical filters; the facets
query is keyed on filters so it refetches as they change. Trilingual empty-state
string when a category has no matching tags.
The backend shuffle sort already accepts a seed param. Add a circular
reshuffle button next to the sort control (shown only when shuffle is
active) that re-rolls the seed and re-queries the feed; selecting shuffle
also seeds a fresh order instead of the deterministic seed-0 one. The seed
lives in FeedFilters but is intentionally kept out of the URL state.
Feed, VideoCard, Sidebar, PlayerModal, Channels, Stats, SettingsPanel,
OnboardingWizard, NotificationCenter, Toaster, ErrorBoundary and the relativeTime
helper are now fully translated in Hungarian, English and German, each with its own
locale area file (auto-loaded). Key parity verified across all three languages.
