A dedicated Plex "Discover" landing — a stack of horizontal Carousel rails
served from ONE consolidated read (serve-from-DB, no live Plex/TMDB call):
- GET /api/plex/discover → continue_watching (in-progress movies + shows, most
recently progressed) · recently_added · genres (top-N tiles) ·
because_you_watched (recs of the most-recent watched, TMDB-enriched movie,
resolved to library rows by guid via serve_block's resolver).
- GET /api/plex/surprise → a fresh random, scope-bounded sample for the ↻ rail.
Frontend: PlexDiscover.tsx (rails reuse the S1 Carousel + S3 PlexPosterCard;
colored genre tiles → tap to filter the grid; ↻ reshuffles the surprise rail
alone). Discover is now the root sub-view; the flat grid becomes the bookmarkable
"Browse all" secondary view (?v=browse) reached by a header search/filter (a
browse-intent flip) or the new Discover⟷Browse toggle.
resolve_recs is promoted from _resolve_recs (now cross-module). Tests:
test_plex_discover.py (rail shape/order, continue-watching, because-you-watched
+ null, surprise bounds, scope) and PlexDiscover.dom.test.tsx; plexSubUrl
round-trip updated for discover-root/grid-browse. Backend lane 393, vitest 332.
The poster card (grid + person page) gets the Seerr-style hover: on hover a
bottom scrim slides up with the title, a "year · runtime · ★rating" meta line,
and a 3-line synopsis — the info you'd otherwise click through for — plus a
less-flat play ring (radial-gradient + ring shadow) and a top-right quick-action
cluster (Info + watched-toggle, revealed on hover / always on touch). Rest-state
badges (season / type tag) yield to the scrim on hover; the playable-cost tint
stays. (§1 A + C from the enrichment study.)
Backend (the data the scrim needs, mirroring S1's `art`): the grid
(browse.unified_library) now emits a lang-coalesced, truncated `summary` (new
query.summary_col) + the Plex `rating`; movie_card/show_card do the same (EN) for
the detail/related/person cards. PlexCard.rating type added (summary already
existed for episodes).
Gate: tsc x3 / eslint / prettier / knip / vitest 326 green; ruff green; backend
lane full suite green. Self-E2E on the live dev server (rebuilt on this branch,
S2-enriched): the grid serves rating+summary (Shawshank 9.3, Godfather 9.2, real
synopses) and the card renders the play ring + scrim (The Expanse: ring, synopsis,
★8.1) — verified via the DOM (the pane wouldn't composite for a screenshot).
Wave 5a building blocks under the Seerr-inspired Plex enrichment (E5).
Carousel (frontend/src/components/Carousel.tsx): the one horizontal-rail
component, replacing the hand-rolled `flex overflow-x-auto` strips and the
home of the future Plex-Discover rows. Edge-fade mask, hover/focus scroll
buttons that appear only on the clipped side (useHScroll — the X-axis twin
of useScrollFade, same watch-the-children discipline), native scrollbar
hidden behind .no-scrollbar, reduced-motion-aware paging. First consumers:
CastStrip + RelatedStrip now scroll inside it (dedup + free affordances).
New i18n: common.seeAll / scrollLeft / scrollRight (en+hu).
Card-art serializer (backend/app/plex/cards.py): movie_card + show_card now
emit `art` (the wide backdrop, /api/plex/image/{rk}?variant=art) so rails and
the crossfading hero get a landscape image with no per-item fetch — gated on
art_key so an art-less item stays null and falls back to the poster. FE type
PlexCard.art?.
Tests: Carousel.dom.test (children/header/see-all, clipped-edge buttons +
paging), test_plex_cards (art present/absent by art_key). Added a
ResizeObserver stub to PlexPersonView.dom.test (it renders CastStrip, now a
Carousel consumer).
Gate: tsc x3 / eslint / prettier / knip / vitest 324 green; ruff green;
backend test lane (docker-compose.test.yml) green on the plex card tests.
Ships the E5 sprint stack (S1–S7): field-scoped Plex search + typeahead, cast &
crew pages, the HU-overlay Hungarian metadata + language-aware serving, the
IMDb/audience rating split, the toolbar relocation, and the narrow/mobile header
fix — plus the underlying Plex-module refactors (feedquery/plex.cards/plex.query
extraction, db.query→2.0 select).
- VERSION 0.65.2 → 0.66.0
- releaseNotes.ts: 0.66.0 user-facing entry
- prettier-format the E5-touched frontend files (release hygiene)
Merged main (0.65.2 download-gc hotfix) in first; no code conflicts (E5 is
Plex-only, the hotfix was notifications/downloads).
E5 S6 frontend half.
Language threading (?lang=hu serves the HU overlay; en is the default):
- api/plex.ts: `lang` on plexLibrary / plexFacets / plexItem / plexShow (only
sent for hu, so EN URLs stay byte-stable); PlexItemDetail gains `rating`.
- queryKeys: plexItem / plexShow take an optional trailing lang so a switch caches
HU/EN separately; the ...rest keys (library/facets) already carry it. Prefix
invalidations (qk.plexShow(id) / qk.plexItem(id)) still match either.
- i18n: plexLang() collapses the UI language to en|hu for non-component code.
- PlexBrowse / PlexSidebar: thread lang into the grid, facets, item and show
queries (useTranslation re-renders on switch → the key changes → refetch).
- plexPlayerHooks: the optimistic resume setQueryData now keys by plexLang() so
it still lands on the language-keyed detail query.
- Clear the genre-filter selection on a language switch — genre chips are
language-specific strings, so a stale one silently empties the grid.
IMDb-only rating badge (folded-in S5b review #5):
- PlexInfo.tsx shows the IMDb badge + imdb.com link only when imdb_rating is
present; otherwise it renders the Plex audience `rating` (no IMDb link/branding),
so a non-IMDb score is never mislabelled. ratingMin filter keys off whichever
score is shown.
Tests: i18n parity.test.ts (en/hu key sets identical per namespace — currently
green, no drift). FE gate green: tsc / knip / lint clean, 213 vitest tests pass.
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.
Plex sort was a bespoke chip-pill row plus a separate asc/desc chip pair, with
the key in PlexState.sort and the direction hidden in PlexFilters.sortDir. Now:
- sort is one SortState {key,dir}; sortDir is dropped from PlexFilters (and from
the facet-key destructure). The wire call still splits it into sort + sort_dir
at the server boundary, so the backend is untouched.
- The chip sort-row is replaced by the shared SortControl (select + arrow) — the
same idiom the feed and channel manager use. New lib/plexSort.ts owns the
scope-dependent vocabulary (movies add duration) + the title/asc fallback.
- PlexProvider migrates the old storage in place: a legacy bare-key plexSort
string plus the old filters.sortDir become the {key,dir} state, so an existing
sort preference survives the upgrade.
- PlexBrowse and PlexSidebar heal the stored sort against the current scope's
options, so a movie-only key (duration) left over after switching to shows
can't ask the server for an unavailable sort.
Gate green: tsc clean, eslint 0 errors, prettier clean, vitest 93.
- barrel re-exports domains with `export type *` (not `export *`) so the
internal downloadsApi/plexApi/messagingApi slices stay behind the façade;
plex's runtime value exports (EMPTY_PLEX_FILTERS/plexFilterCount) re-exported
explicitly
- App.tsx: drop the now-redundant `prefs as Record<string, unknown>` self-cast
(Me.preferences is already that type) and its `prefsRec` alias
- plex.ts: comment why plexSetState keeps its status union inline (reusing
VideoStatus would make an api.ts↔plex.ts type cycle)
Behaviour-identical. Gate green: typecheck, eslint 0, prettier, 74 vitest.
All Plex types (browse cards, show/season/item details, collections, native
playlists, filters/facets, watch-link) + EMPTY_PLEX_FILTERS/plexFilterCount/
appendPlexFilters + the ~40 plex methods move into a self-contained api/plex.ts
exporting a `plexApi` slice (imports only core's req/beacon). api.ts spreads the
slice and re-exports the types via `export *`. api.ts 1352 -> 882 lines (halved
from the original 1793); no runtime change. Gate green: typecheck, eslint,
prettier, 74 vitest.
