Submitting every segment up front convoyed on ThreadPoolExecutor's process-global lock, starving the event drain so per-track progress bars only advanced once the download had finished.
Renames 314 defs and 41 module/class-level constants. Keeps 11 names underscored where the stripped form collides in scope, plus 5.5.0 shims for the three symbols external service repos call.
Adds prompt_user() and uses it for local, remote, and Proton VPN input. Replaces click.prompt on the remote auth path, which ignored the theme and overlapped active Live displays. Remote auth now exits on EOF instead of POSTing an empty answer and spinning the poll loop.
Representation ids are only unique within an AdaptationSet, so re-finding a track by id could download a sibling set's stream (audio description in place of dialog). Applies to download_track and extract_dash.
Render all click help through rich-click, themed by a new `theme` config key (9 palettes + aliases, previewable via `unshackle env theme`), and show service docstrings in local and remote `dl <TAG> -h`.
api-only/remote-only serve now authenticates every serve.users key (str-coerced), not just api_secret, so per-user service allowlists apply. RemoteClient tries X-Secret-Key then X-Api-Key on 401 (sticky winner); remote_services.auth_headers prepends extra header names to the defaults.
Adds GET /api/download/jobs/{job_id}/events with snapshot, status, progress and terminal events, query-param auth for EventSource in both serve modes, atomic progress-file writes, and stream-safe CORS and compression middleware.
Episode gains an additive absolute field services can set, an {absolute}
naming token (3-wide), and an --enrich fill from TVDB's absolute order
that never rewrites season or episode numbers.
--anilist supersedes --animeapi (REST: anilist_id); the keyless AniList
GraphQL provider joins the registry with title search, mal: ID lookup,
an ANILIST mkv tag, and the anilist_title_language config option.
Services mark anime via Service.ANIME / Title.anime for anilist-first
metadata resolution with fall-through.
Supplied IDs resolve directly via a shared resolve_by_ids and never fall back to title search; metadata_providers gains per-kind ordering and a disable_metadata switch stops all automatic lookups while explicit IDs keep working.
BREAKING: --tmdb/--imdb/--tvdb are now mutually exclusive and require a usable provider; --enrich also overwrites original language; the imdbapi provider and imdb_api_enabled are replaced by a keyless imdb provider.
--enrich now sets Title.language when the service left it unset, so video tracks stop falling back to und. Adds original_language to MetadataResult (TMDB, TVDB, OMDb, IMDxAPI) and falls back to OMDb for --imdb, which previously did nothing while imdb_api_enabled defaults to false.
Reading .raw skips urllib3's decoding, so brotli-served subtitles landed compressed and converted to empty files. Also drops a partial rather than Range-resuming an encoded body, since a Range indexes the encoded bytes.
sort_subtitles resolved only the all token, while the video and audio sorts
resolved all and best. by_language now asks matching_languages rather than
repeating the RFC 4647 preference, with no behaviour change.
subtitle.language_priority and audio.language_priority prepend to the CLI
languages, so the named languages sort first and nothing is filtered.
--exact-lang now applies to the sorts too, through matching_languages, which
follows the same RFC 4647 rule as Tracks.by_language and ignores invalid tags.
When ffmpeg runs with the terminal on stdin it turns off echo for its
interactive keys. If several run at once, or one gets killed, echo never
comes back and the terminal is left broken after dl exits.
Each dl run works in temp/task_<id>/, removed on every exit path. Orphans from hard-killed processes are swept via lock liveness, and env clear temp skips directories whose task is still running.
Document tvdb_api_key, tvdb_pin, tvdb_order and metadata_providers, the
--tvdb and --tvdb-order flags with their behaviour when an order does
not cover a whole series, the new REST API parameters, and the Matroska
TVDB2 tag prefixes.
TVDB covers TV far better than the existing sources, so add it as a
provider and let users decide where it sits in the lookup chain.
- new TVDB v4 provider: search, get_by_id, get_external_ids and
find_by_imdb_id, with a process-level token cache and 401 re-auth
- metadata_providers config both orders and filters the providers used,
so TVDB can be primary rather than a TMDB fallback. Cross-validation
keeps its own fixed trust ranking, unchanged by search order
- --tvdb-order renumbers episodes into a TVDB season order. A service
does not always use aired order, so the source order is detected
rather than assumed, and the renumber is refused when an order that
omits episodes would give two of them the same filename
- --tvdb sets the series ID directly, skipping the lookup
- the Matroska TVDB2 tag now populates on every lookup path, including
--imdb, which previously produced no ID tags when IMDxAPI was off
Search matches on year as well as title so an identically named remake
cannot win on title alone.
sort_subtitles applied the language sort before the type sort. Python sorts
are stable, so the last pass wins and type became the major key: every forced
track, then every normal, then every SDH, each block ordered by language. In a
title with many languages this put a track far from its own SDH version, for
example Finnish at track 5 and Finnish SDH at track 42.
Add a group_by parameter that selects the major key. "type" is the default and
keeps the current order byte for byte. "language" swaps the two passes so each
language stays next to its own variants. Read it from the new subtitle.group_by
config key.
Also correct the docs: type_priority was described as sorting the variants
within each language, which was never true. It ranks the types across all
languages.
