The Downloads config group was added to the registry without field translations,
so it showed raw keys. Adds label+hint for all 9 download_* fields, matching the
Plex group's treatment.
- ConfigPanel 'plex' group auto-renders; adds a Test-connection button + a
library-picker (checked sections write plex_libraries, applied on Save)
- api.testPlex + PlexTestResult/PlexSection types
- i18n config namespace: plex group + 7 fields + test strings (en/hu/de);
also fills the previously-missing 'downloads' group label
Two saved-to-account playback settings on the player's prev/next bar (any queued
player — feed or playlist): Auto-advance (Off/Next/Prev/Random — what plays when a
video ends) and Loop (Off / One = repeat the current video / All = wrap the list
at its ends; a single-item list repeats). Stored in users.preferences
(playerAutoAdvance/playerLoop), read from the cached me + written via savePrefs so
they apply everywhere and survive reloads.
The feed's player queue is now the live filtered feed with the watch-state filter
NOT applied — marking the current video watched keeps it in the sequence (no
reindex/reload mid-play), while a hidden video still drops out. Removes the old
frozen-queue workaround and the boolean autoAdvance prop. i18n en/hu/de.
loadAccountFilters preferred the starred default view's mirror over the stored
filters, so a reload always snapped back to the default even after you'd picked
another view. Now your last-applied filters (setFilters persists them on every
change) win; the default view only seeds a fresh account that has never stored
filters. Re-apply the default from the sidebar to return to it.
Replace the small centred prev/next arrow buttons with faint translucent glass
strips that span the modal's full height, hugging each side of the card (hidden
on narrow screens where there's no room). Same stepping behaviour + Shift+arrow
shortcut; just a larger, easier target that reads as part of the dialog.
Three in-app player refinements:
- Prev/next stepping: the modal now takes the feed's loaded order as a queue, with
faint arrow zones flanking the card and Shift+Left/Right shortcuts (plain arrows
seek ±5s). The queue is frozen at open so marking the current video watched can't
drop it and reload a different one; auto-advance-on-end stays off for the feed
(it isn't a playlist) — playlists keep theirs.
- Reachable native YouTube controls: the interaction overlay (wheel volume / click
pause / keyboard focus) now covers only the centre band (top-[12%] bottom-[22%]),
leaving the top-right cluster (volume/CC/settings) and the bottom bar (seek /
More videos / fullscreen) clickable. Verified live: settings menu + fullscreen work.
- Hover-intent description: the title popover now waits ~400ms so a quick pass no
longer flashes it.
A vertical/short clip rendered in a fixed full-width box with large black side
bars. The player container now uses w-fit + mx-auto and the video max-h/max-w, so
a portrait clip becomes a narrow centered player and a landscape clip fills the
width — no letterboxing either way.
Every download now records the clean source page URL and shows it on the
Downloads page (open in a new tab, or copy to clipboard). The worker stores
yt-dlp's canonical webpage_url on the asset (migration 0043 adds
media_assets.source_webpage_url); the serializer prefers it and falls back to a
URL derived from source_kind+source_ref, so YouTube, external YouTube links and
external URLs (e.g. Facebook reels) all get a correct reference, and queued/older
rows work before the worker fills it. Edit clips return null (a clip's source is
the user's own earlier download, not a web page). i18n en/hu/de.
The whole app shipped in one bundle, so the logged-out landing and every page
pulled all module code. Split into lazy chunks:
- main.tsx: lazy App + the public leaves (WatchPage, Privacy, Terms), so a
public /watch share link never downloads the authenticated app.
- App.tsx: each module page (Feed, Channels, Playlists, Stats, Scheduler,
Config, Users, Settings, Notifications, Messages, Downloads, ChannelPage) and
the About/ReleaseNotes/Onboarding modals load on demand behind <Suspense>.
- Heavy modals lazy in their parents: PlayerModal (Feed, Playlists),
DownloadDialog (DownloadButton — kept out of the feed chunk), and the
VideoEditor/ShareDialog/ProfileEditor (DownloadCenter).
- Extracted focusAccessRequestsTab + the tab constants to lib/adminUsersTab so
callers can pre-select the admin tab without statically importing the now
lazy-loaded AdminUsers page (which would defeat the split).
Build now emits ~25 chunks. Landing no longer downloads any module code
(~350 KB deferred); dev landing Perf 93->95. Verified in a real browser: every
page + the video editor load with no console errors.
Give the feed card thumbnail width/height (16:9) so the browser reserves the
aspect box before load (CLS), and decoding=async so image decode never blocks
the main thread. loading=lazy was already set.
Lighthouse a11y across the authenticated module pages flagged: the clickable
Siftlode logo had aria-label='Feed' (accessible name didn't include its visible
text); the shared Switch, theme swatches, sort selects and several number/range
inputs had no accessible name/label. Give Switch role='switch'+aria-checked and
an optional label (passed at every call site), aria-label the swatches, selects
(feed/playlists sort) and the settings/config/scheduler inputs, and drop the
mismatched logo aria-label so its visible text is the name. All 11 module pages
now score 100 accessibility (settings 86->100, playlists 89->100, others 92-95->100).
The logged-out landing probed /api/me, which 401'd, and the browser logs every
non-2xx fetch as a console error regardless of how the app handles it. The
bootstrap probe now returns 200 with {authenticated:false} via a new
optional_current_user dependency; api.me() maps that to null. The render gate
treats no-data as 'signed out' -> the landing, and a thrown error as a real
network/5xx failure. Other protected endpoints still 401, so mid-session expiry
is still caught by the global handler. Lighthouse (dev): Best Practices 96->100.
The public landing had no meta description and no robots.txt (the SPA fallback
returned index.html for /robots.txt, so crawlers saw an invalid file). Add a
description + basic OG tags to index.html and a real robots.txt that allows the
landing but disallows the API/auth/watch surfaces. Lighthouse (dev): SEO 83->100.
The 3 landing screenshots were 2.3 MB of PNG (feed.png alone 1.6 MB, decoded
at 2400x1350 for a ~400px slot) — the biggest LCP/transfer cost on the public
page. Re-encoded to WebP capped at 1600px (~284 KB total, feed 91% smaller).
Also set Cache-Control: content-hashed /assets/* are immutable for a year,
other SPA-root static files (welcome images, favicon, robots) get a 7-day TTL;
index.html stays no-cache. Register image/webp+avif mimetypes so FileResponse
serves the right Content-Type. Lighthouse (dev): Perf 80->93, LCP 1.8s->1.2s.
mp4 downloads used yt-dlp's default best video+audio, which on YouTube is
VP9+Opus at 1080p. Chromium plays that, but iOS/Safari WebKit (which every
iOS browser is forced to use) decodes only H.264/H.265+AAC inside mp4 — so a
shared /watch link showed a broken player on iPhone/iPad while the download
still worked. Rank vcodec:h264 + acodec:aac above resolution for mp4 output
(unless a custom profile pins a vcodec), keeping VP9/AV1 as a graceful
fallback. Bump the format signature (v2) so an identical spec gets a fresh
cache identity instead of hitting a stale VP9 asset.
The worker and API start in parallel; the API applies migrations on its own startup, so on a fresh
deploy the worker hit a missing download_jobs table and crash-looped until migrations landed. The
worker now polls for the schema before recovering orphans, and (belt-and-suspenders) the compose
files gate it on the API being healthy. Fixes the observed prod restart-loop on the v0.22.0 deploy.
Prep the Download Center epic (Phase 1 + editor + share) for prod/self-host:
- Dockerfile: create /downloads owned by appuser so a named-volume mount is writable (prod Linux).
- docker-compose.{home,selfhost,yml}: add the 'worker' (yt-dlp/ffmpeg job loop) + 'bgutil-pot'
(PO-token) services + a downloads mount (DOWNLOAD_ROOT, WORKER_ENABLED). Media defaults to a
named volume; DOWNLOAD_HOST_PATH points it at a host dir (e.g. a Plex-readable folder).
- README / docs/self-hosting.md / .env.example / install.{sh,ps1}: document the Download Center,
the two extra containers, and DOWNLOAD_HOST_PATH.
- VERSION 0.22.0 + releaseNotes entry.
Session-close cosmetics:
1. Favicon — an 'S' monogram (indigo→violet rounded square, path-drawn so it's font-independent)
at public/favicon.svg, linked in index.html (tab had none before).
2. Dynamic document.title — reflects the current module ('Downloads · Siftlode'); Feed = brand
only; an open channel page shows the channel name. Shared pageTitleKey() in lib/pageMeta.ts
keeps the tab title and the top-bar header in lockstep.
3. The 'Siftlode' logo already navigated to Feed but read as static text — added a hover
background + cursor affordance so it's clearly clickable.
4. Module header — new shared PageTitle component (used by every non-feed module via Header) with
a tracked small-caps 'eyebrow' + leading accent dot (user-picked style B), styled in one place.
Verified in a real browser: favicon served (image/svg+xml), title updates per module, logo→feed,
header restyled; no console errors.
The 'Your storage' footprint used a one-shot query, refetched only at enqueue time — when the job
is still queued (0 bytes) and the file lands asynchronously via the worker. So the footprint stayed
stale (0 B) until a manual reload. Switch the UsageBar to useLiveQuery(2s), like the library list,
so the footprint updates in lockstep the moment a clip/download completes (and after a delete).
A shared-with-me item only had a download button. Add two actions (Share is intentionally NOT
offered — no chain re-sharing of someone else's file):
- Edit: the editor now accepts an accessible (owned OR shared) source, so editing a shared video
produces the editor's OWN clip in their library (counts against their quota, fully theirs
including share); the source file is only read. Route uses _accessible_job.
- Remove from my list: DELETE /api/downloads/shared/{job_id} deletes only the recipient's share
grant — the owner's job and physical file are untouched (per-user dismissal).
i18n en/hu/de. Verified in a real browser (edit a shared 70-min video → own 2:31 clip; remove
confirm shows 'won't delete the owner's file').
The admin System tab only listed users with an existing footprint, so a quota could be set only
after someone downloaded something. Add a 'Set a user's quota…' picker (over /api/admin/users,
excl. demo) beside the Per-user footprint heading that opens the quota editor for ANY user — the
quota GET/PUT endpoints already resolve defaults + create a row on demand, so no backend change.
Also show an empty-state line when no one has a footprint yet. i18n en/hu/de.
The download-center GC job showed its raw id 'download_gc' with a raw-key tooltip, unlike every
other job. Add its label ('Download cleanup') + description to scheduler i18n (en/hu/de), and make
the job tooltip fall back to empty for any job lacking a description (so a future/edge job never
shows a raw 'scheduler.jobDesc.*' key — also fixes demo_reset).
The tooltip clamped its centre to a fixed 92px margin, but the caption is up to 240px wide
(120px half), so a left-edge anchor (e.g. the nav-rail counts icon at x~40) pushed the centred box
~28px off the left of the viewport. Clamp with the caption's max half-width so it can't overflow on
first paint, then a useLayoutEffect re-centres on the anchor using its actual width. Verified: the
nav-rail counts tooltip now sits fully on-screen.
In the left-nav rail SyncStatus, the pause button rendered as its own bottom block, so with only
deep-history pending (idle) it dropped to a lonely line under 'N without full history'. Now it sits
right-aligned on the primary status row — the sync-state line when there is one, otherwise the
'N without full history' row — via flex justify-between. No change to the all-synced state.
Rework the share dialog into two clear modes and add the public /watch player page:
- ShareDialog: (A) 'Share with a user' — autocomplete picker over registered users (was a blind
email box that 404'd on non-users); (B) 'Share a link' — create/list/copy/revoke public links
with allow-download toggle, optional expiry (1/7/30d), optional password; per-link view count.
- WatchPage: standalone login-free player at /watch/<token> (routed in main.tsx like /privacy),
self-contained mini-i18n (en/hu/de by browser language); password gate → unlock → play; shows a
Download button only when the link allows it.
- api: ShareLink/ShareRecipient types + link CRUD + recipients; share i18n (en/hu/de).
Verified end-to-end in a real browser: user picker, link create, public playback, stream-only vs
downloadable, password gate + unlock, no console errors.
Share a download by a capability URL (/watch/{token}) that anyone can play on a login-free page —
distinct from the registered-user ACL share. Per-link controls: optional expiry, allow-download
toggle (stream-only vs downloadable), optional argon2 password. Revoke = delete.
- migration 0042 + DownloadLink model; app/downloads/links.py (token, HMAC grant sign/verify)
- owner endpoints (POST/GET/PATCH/DELETE links) + /recipients for the internal user picker
- public router (no auth): watch meta / password unlock→signed grant / range-aware file serve
(inline vs attachment); unlock is rate-limited; meta verifies the file exists on disk
Verified end-to-end: 206 range, inline vs attachment, wrong-password 403, tampered-grant 403.
The hover-scrub thumbnail was centered on the cursor with a fixed -translate-x-1/2, so near the
filmstrip's right (or left) edge it overflowed the modal and triggered a horizontal scrollbar. Now
its left edge is clamped to [0, trackW - popoverW] so it shifts inward at the edges and stays fully
within the viewport. Verified at both edges in a real browser.
Rework VideoEditor around a segment cut-list: N draggable cut markers → segments, per-segment
keep/drop (eye toggle + dropped hatch), output = Separate files (one job per kept segment) or
Join into one (segments cut-list → one concatenated file). Per-segment numeric Start/End inputs.
Filmstrip fixed: aspect-correct tiles (no vertical squish) + YouTube-style hover-scrub thumbnail
from the sprite. EditSpec.segments type; editor v2 i18n (en/hu/de). Verified end-to-end in a real
browser (3-segment split, drop middle, join → 0:12 clip from a 0:19 source).
Editor v2 backend: an edit_spec can carry a 'segments' cut-list that concatenates the kept
ranges into ONE file (accurate=filter_complex trim+concat re-encode; fast=concat-demuxer
stream-copy with per-segment inpoint/outpoint). normalize/edit_sig/clip_duration/needs_reencode
handle segments; worker writes the concat list + runs build_concat_plan. Single-trim path (used by
'separate files' export) unchanged.
VideoEditor modal on a finished Library download: HTML5 <video> scrubber, filmstrip timeline
(lazy server storyboard sprite) with draggable in/out handles, draggable/resizable crop overlay,
per-edit Precise (re-encode) vs Fast (stream-copy) cut toggle, split-into-N fan-out (N trim jobs),
optional clip name. Edited clips show a 'Clip' badge; 'editing' phase gets a % bar. New api
enqueueEdit/downloadStoryboard/storyboardImageUrl + EditSpec type; editor i18n (en/hu/de).
YouTube returns flaky per-client responses: the web clients intermittently mislabel normal
videos as 'DRM protected' (like tv did), and android_vr can get bot-flagged under heavy load.
Neither client alone is reliable. So:
- PRIMARY player client = android_vr: high-quality DASH (399+251), no PO token / Deno needed,
reliable for normal use
- on a bot/DRM/format failure the worker retries with the FALLBACK set (web_safari,web,android
+ POT sidecar + Deno) — bypasses bot-detection when android_vr is flagged
- both client sets admin-tunable (DOWNLOAD_PLAYER_CLIENTS[_FALLBACK])
Verified: the previously DRM-failing video now downloads steadily via android_vr, no DRM error.
The web player clients need two things beyond the PO token: (1) a JavaScript runtime for
YouTube's 'n' signature challenge — install Deno (v2.9.1) + yt-dlp[default] (bundles yt-dlp-ejs
solver scripts); auto-detected on PATH. (2) an audio source — the web clients only expose
video-only DASH, so add the 'android' client (also PO-token-backed) for audio/muxed formats.
Player clients: web_safari,web,android (dropped tv — it falsely reports normal videos as DRM).
End-to-end verified in the worker: extraction (POT + Deno n-challenge) + download completes,
no bot/DRM/format errors. Full YouTube stack now: force-ipv4 + bgutil POT sidecar + Deno.
YouTube increasingly demands a Proof-of-Origin token (or shows 'confirm you're not a bot').
Instead of manual cookies, run the bgutil POT provider as a sidecar that mints tokens on demand:
- compose: bgutil-pot service (brainicism/bgutil-ytdlp-pot-provider:1.3.1, port 4416, init)
- requirements: bgutil-ytdlp-pot-provider==1.3.1 plugin (version pinned to the image)
- config: DOWNLOAD_POT_BASE_URL (http://bgutil-pot:4416) + DOWNLOAD_PLAYER_CLIENTS
(web_safari,web,tv — POT-capable; the default android_vr client never requests a token)
- formats.build_ydl_opts wires extractor_args youtube:player_client + youtubepot-bgutilhttp:base_url
Verified: the sidecar mints a valid PO token (BotGuard challenge solved) and yt-dlp fetches it
from the provider. NOTE: end-to-end download couldn't be confirmed here because the test IP got
hard-flagged by YouTube from heavy testing (~16 GB + dozens of extractions) — a hard abuse block
needs cooldown/cookies, which POT doesn't lift; POT bypasses the normal soft bot-check.
Embedding (thumbnail/chapters) rewrote the whole file — a 10 GB video spent minutes making a
10 GB temp copy — while the Plex .nfo + poster sidecars already carry that metadata. So:
- builtin presets no longer embed (migration 0040 re-seeds them; formats._DEFAULTS embed off);
only the tiny FFmpegThumbnailsConvertor (for poster.jpg) remains, so downloads go
video -> audio -> merge -> done with no full-file rewrite
- default preset is now 1080p (Best stays available, second in the list) so a long video
doesn't silently pull ~10 GB and blow the quota
Users who want self-contained files can enable embedding in a custom profile.
ffmpeg post-steps have no byte-progress, so instead of a silent 'Processing' the row now names
the current step (Merging / Extracting audio / Embedding thumbnail / Removing sponsors / Writing
metadata) with an indeterminate pulse. Byte-progress phases (video/audio) keep the % bar.
i18n en/hu/de.
Root cause of the failing downloads: containers usually have no working IPv6 route, but
googlevideo CDN hosts advertise AAAA records, so the downloader tried IPv6 and failed with
'[Errno -5] No address associated with hostname'. Small clips happened to use IPv4; long videos
(more CDN requests / the ffmpeg path) hit IPv6 and died.
- yt-dlp source_address=0.0.0.0 forces IPv4 for every connection (== --force-ipv4). Verified: the
full video+audio download completes cleanly.
- Also: retry (resume) now resets the shared asset from 'error' to 'pending', so it actually
re-downloads — previously the requeued job instantly re-inherited the asset's stale error
because the worker short-circuits a job whose asset already errored.
- Dropped the localdev DNS override (wrong hypothesis; the issue was IPv6, not the resolver).
- Kept yt-dlp retries/fragment_retries/socket_timeout for transient blips.
Verified end-to-end in the worker: two previously-failing long videos now download to done.
_insert_stubs previously stored the raw title, so a brand-new video showed its unnormalized
title until enrichment caught up. Normalize (and stash original_title) at insert as well, so
every video-title write path is covered: stub insert, enrichment, live search, and the download
worker. Every newly imported feed video is normalized from the first insert.
Noisy YouTube titles are cleaned for display + storage, raw kept in videos.original_title:
- app/titles.normalize_title: strip emoji/symbols (keep accents), remove trailing SEO hashtag
clusters (keep numeric #3 episode markers), context-aware de-shout (mostly-ALL-CAPS titles ->
Title Case with an acronym whitelist + function-word lowercasing; otherwise only long all-caps
words), collapse repeated punctuation
- applied at enrichment (sync/videos.py) and in the download worker (ad-hoc yt-dlp titles);
catalog downloads inherit the normalized title automatically
- migration 0039: add original_title, preserve raw, rewrite title (generated search_vector
regenerates); reversible via original_title
Backfill on localdev: 122115/273417 titles normalized in ~2 min. Verified in the feed + on
real messy samples (emoji/de-shout/hashtags), accents + acronyms (PS5/AI/USA/PC) preserved.
The progress bar looked broken (95% -> 5% -> recount) because yt-dlp downloads the video and
audio streams separately (each 0->100%) then merges — with no indication of which step is
running. Now:
- worker labels the phase from the stream codecs (video / audio) and via a postprocessor hook
(merging / processing), so the user sees what's happening
- DownloadCenter shows the phase as the status and renders an indeterminate pulse (no bogus %)
during merge/processing; phase i18n en/hu/de
- yt-dlp retries (3) + fragment_retries (5) so transient network blips self-heal instead of
failing the job (seen once as a DNS 'No address associated with hostname' error)
Verified: phase transitions queued -> video -> processing -> done.
A queued/downloading row previously showed the bare video id and no thumbnail because asset
metadata was only filled when the download completed. Now:
- service.populate_from_catalog fills title/uploader/thumbnail/date/duration at enqueue from
our own Video/Channel catalog (0 network cost) — feed downloads look right instantly
- worker fills the same from yt-dlp's info_dict on the first progress event (covers ad-hoc
URLs / catalog misses), best-effort, never fails a download
Verified: a paused feed download now shows its real title, channel, thumbnail and duration.
Two UAT findings:
1. The device download filename (Content-Disposition) kept emoji/symbols from the video title.
Add storage.display_filename (drops emoji/symbol/control unicode, keeps spaces + accents)
and use it for the download name — readable and clean ("…alapján!.mp4", no emoji).
2. Deleting/canceling a download removed the job but the shared MediaAsset (and its file) lingered
as cache, so 'Ready files' stayed inflated and disk wasn't freed. Rework: _release_asset drops
the hold and, once no job holds the asset, deletes the file + row immediately (the cache only
needs to span overlapping holders). Also fixes cancel never decrementing (it flipped status to
'canceled' before releasing, tripping the holding-state guard).
Verified: filename emoji-stripped; enqueue→delete removes the asset row + file from disk.
A plain <a> file download can't send the X-Siftlode-Account header, so current_user resolved
it to the session-default account — 404 'Unknown download' when the tab acts as a non-default
wallet account that owns the file. resolved_user_id now also honours a ?account= query param
(the same wallet-gated selection the WebSocket already uses), and downloadFileUrl appends the
active account id. Verified: default account -> 404, ?account=<owner> -> 206 with the right
Content-Disposition.
The .gitignore 'downloads/' pattern for the DOWNLOAD_ROOT bind mount also matched the
backend/app/downloads source package, so formats.py/storage.py/service.py never got
committed with M2. Anchor the ignore to '/downloads/' (repo root only) and add the package.
storage.sanitize() now handles arbitrarily messy titles (emoji, ZWJ, fullwidth, clickbait
punctuation): NFKC-normalize, drop emoji/symbol/control unicode categories, collapse
repeated punctuation, underscore-join words -> space-free paths. Accents (HU/DE) preserved,
no ASCII folding. Plex layout uses _-_ separators + Season_{year}.
Add an accent-tinted 'Free and open source' band between the app preview and the feature grid
— a short line about reading the code / self-hosting / filing an issue, linking to the public
repo. The compact footer link stays. Trilingual.
Multi-account-in-one-browser (esp. with per-tab accounts) leaked one account's client state
into another via shared localStorage keys. Scope every account-specific key by the tab's active
account (accountKey/readAccount/writeAccount/useAccountPersistedState helpers), so nothing bleeds
across accounts or tabs:
- Real leaks: selected playlist, client notification history + settings, onboarding-dismissed.
- UI position: feed page, channel-manager filter/view + tables, playlist sort, Settings/Stats/
Users/Config tabs.
- Previously DB-adopted caches (theme, hints, performance mode, sidebar layout, nav/filter
collapse) — now the cache is per-account too, so there's no flash of the other account's value
on login.
Kept intentionally global: siftlode.lang (needed pre-login on the Welcome page; the DB pref still
scopes it per-account after sign-in) and siftlode.seenVersion (a per-browser 'new version' banner).
E2EE private keys (IndexedDB) and the chat-dock key were already per-user.
Feed filters and the default-saved-view mirror lived under shared localStorage keys, so one
account's view (incl. its starred default) leaked into another account signed into the same
browser — visible with per-tab accounts as a fresh account showing the previous account's
'N active' filters instead of a clean default.
Key both by the tab's active account (siftlode.filters.<id> / siftlode.defaultViewFilters.<id>);
load a tab's filters from its own account on login/switch/add, falling back to defaults when the
account isn't known yet. A share link's filters still win and are persisted to the account. The
old shared keys are simply no longer read (a one-time reset to defaults on the first load after
this change; migrating them would risk re-leaking across accounts).
A tab that never explicitly picked an account rode the session's default, so when ANOTHER
tab changed that default (adding or switching an account), this tab silently swapped identity
on its next refetch — the account chip updated while the feed/saved-views lagged until reload.
- Pin every tab to whatever account it first loaded as (write the sessionStorage override on
load when none is set), so its requests always carry its own account header and cross-tab
default changes can't reach it.
- 'Add account' now clears this tab's pin before the Google redirect, so on return the tab
adopts the freshly-added account (and pins that) — the current tab switches to it while other
tabs keep their own, matching the Gmail add-account model.
Two tabs in one browser can now run two different signed-in accounts at once.
- The signed session cookie stays the browser's account WALLET (account_ids). Which account a
given tab acts as is a per-tab choice held in sessionStorage and sent per-request via the
X-Siftlode-Account header; current_user honours it only for an account already in the wallet,
without mutating the cookie's default account. Switching accounts sets the header + reloads
THIS tab only, instead of the old cookie-wide switch that changed every tab.
- WebSocket can't send headers, so the per-tab account rides in the ?account= query param
(validated against the wallet).
- Logout is per-tab aware: it signs the requesting tab's active account out of the wallet
(promoting a new default only if the removed one was the default), and the tab drops its
override. A stale per-tab header account 401s just that tab instead of clearing the session.
- Serve index.html with Cache-Control: no-cache so a deploy's new hashed bundle is picked up
immediately instead of the browser running a heuristically-cached stale index.html.
- Filter header: show the active-filter count as a compact number pill instead of
'{n} active' text, and keep the action buttons on one line (shrink-0 + nowrap) so
nothing truncates or wraps in a narrow / zoomed-in sidebar (e.g. 125% browser zoom).
- Sync status: anchor the 'all synced' state with a small check icon so it no longer
reads as orphaned text at the top of the nav rail.
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.
The icon-only rail switcher now shows the active language code as a small corner badge,
so the current language reads at a glance without opening the menu.
- A clearer 'Admin' section header (thicker centred rule when collapsed) above the
admin-only modules (Scheduler/Configuration/Users), replacing the faint hairline.
- A small role chip (admin/user/demo) next to the account name — an avatar-corner dot
when the rail is collapsed.
useBackToClose eagerly pushed a history entry on mount and called history.back()
on unmount. During a modal->modal handoff (e.g. About -> Release Notes) the two ran
interleaved in one React commit, so the entering modal's popstate listener mistook the
leaving modal's back() for a genuine user Back and closed itself instantly. It also left
the history pointer behind the surviving entry, so a later browser Back walked off the app.
Replace the eager per-mount push/pop with a single shared popstate handler plus a
coalesced microtask that reconciles history depth to the live overlay count once per tick.
A handoff's -1/+1 nets to zero, so the new modal simply reuses the old entry -- no churn,
no flash, and Back closes the modal in-app.
- Remove owner-specific / legacy deploy files (home/prod/server compose, deploy/).
The home compose stays as a local untracked file for the maintainer's own deploy.
- Genericise infra-specific code comments (egress-proxy examples) to neutral wording.
- Replace the hardcoded contact email on the legal pages with the instance operator's
configured admin email, served via the public /auth/config and shown with a neutral
fallback — so each self-hosted instance shows its own contact.
- Rewrite README for the current app + a copy-paste self-hosting quick start (prebuilt
image + first-run wizard) with a build-from-source alternative; tidy .env.example.
Tighten the hero + feature cards to punchy one-liners and surface current
capabilities: swap the standalone channel-manager card for live YouTube
search (folding tagging into the readable card). Regenerate the three
preview images (feed, channels, playlists) from a rich real account instead
of the sparse demo, so the landing shows what a full instance looks like.
EN/HU/DE.
Moves the Tags widget up (after Upload date) in the default sidebar layout.
Only affects fresh layouts; existing users keep their persisted arrangement.
The "Filters N active" badge and Clear all only tracked the sidebar facets
(tags/show/sort/content/date/channel), so the toolbar-level Source and the
Mine/Library scope neither bumped the count nor reset — inconsistent with
filtersToParams (which treats them as filters, so Save view/Share already
captured them).
- activeCount now includes Library scope and a non-default Source; "relevance"
(auto-applied while searching, no manual option) is excluded from the sort
count so typing a query no longer inflates the badge.
- Clear all resets scope back to "my" (Mine) and drops Source to organic,
alongside the facets. The search q is intentionally preserved.
- The header search box gets a clear (X) button when it holds a value, so the
search has its own reset (clearing it reverts the relevance sort to newest).
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.
Per-user named snapshots of the feed's FeedFilters. New saved_views table
(migration 0035, unique per user+name, position, is_default) + SavedView
model, and a /api/saved-views router (list/create/patch/delete/reorder)
gated behind require_human so the shared demo account can't pollute it.
Setting is_default clears the flag on the user's other views (one default).
A live YouTube search was always dropped on reload so it could never
re-spend quota. But the default scrape source costs no quota, so there's
no reason to bounce the user back to the feed — they can stay on their
results.
Feed now stamps history.state._ytScrape=true once a search resolves via
the scrape source; App restores _yt on reload only when that flag is set
(and re-runs the search, which is free). An api-source search is left
unmarked and still drops to the feed on reload, since re-fetching it would
cost ~100 units. The flag is cleared when a new search starts (Feed
re-stamps it once the new results' source is known).
useBackToClose closes an overlay programmatically (X button or ESC) by
setting the module-global suppressPop=true and calling history.back(), so
the remaining overlays' popstate handlers ignore that synthetic pop. But
the flag was only ever reset by one of those handlers — when the closed
overlay had no overlay underneath it (the common single-player case),
nothing consumed it and suppressPop leaked true.
The next overlay's first real Back then hit the stale true, reset it and
returned early without closing — the Back was silently swallowed. Symptom
in the YouTube-search flow: close the player with the X button, open
another, press Back once -> nothing happens; a second Back closes it AND
discards the search results, dumping you on the normal feed.
Fix: register a one-shot popstate listener alongside suppressPop=true so
the flag is cleared on that very pop even when no overlay remains to
consume it. Nesting is unaffected (an underlying overlay still short-
circuits first and the one-shot is a redundant no-op).
