Drop null keys from every licence, server and export source, not only Widevine. dl now finds remote sessions and imports through ServerKeySource instead of private fields.
A manifest snapshot module now saves and restores DASH/ISM parser state for --remote and export/import, so an import keeps the service's period filter without fetching the manifest.
cast_dl_params feeds ctx.params to dl() and dl.result() as on the CLI. A string lang value now returns 400 instead of splitting into letters, and -r accepts HDR10+.
Session update events carry the new action as action_entry instead of the full log; access lines stay out of the log ring unless --debug. Job events build and redact their dict once, the progress interval matches the 0.5 s poll, and dashboard stats are serialized once.
The tool writes to a temporary file through run_step, which gains a timeout that hides the command line. A missing tool now raises instead of skipping.
A bad value now gets 400 INVALID_PARAMETERS at submit and the worker casts each option; a flat dl key such as quality or lang no longer fills a service option of the same name.
A service option named like a dl option (e.g. --profile) is no longer dropped or mixed with the dl value; the server casts nested values and keeps cli defaults nested.
server_cdm: true on a remote_services entry now licenses remote runs with the server CDM even when the service has its own cdm entry, which stays the local-run device and the fallback. A services.<TAG>.server_cdm replaces the server value for one service, per-service entries match the tag in any case, and the configured fallback logs at info.
BREAKING CHANGE: with server_cdm: true, a per-service cdm entry no longer makes your own device license remote sessions; use dl --cdm or services.<TAG>.server_cdm: false.
get_tracks_for_variants skips a later manifest's track when a held track has the same signature, so a track whose ID changes per manifest is listed once.
Fix DASH SegmentTimeline negative @r and Pattern, TTML sidecar sets with no contentType, HLS CHANNELS identifiers and Dolby channel masks; test against 408 public DASH/HLS/ISM manifests.
Set muxing.track_names to native to name an unnamed track in its own language (中文（繁體）, Português (Portugal)) in place of English. The same script and region rules apply. --list, the muxed names and the REST API track_name follow the option. A test fixture resets the muxing options, so a local unshackle.yaml cannot change test results.
Unnamed tracks get the English language name (default region left out); subtitle tags gain the script their region implies (zh-TW -> zh-Hant-TW). Refs #169
Judge a vault KID only on a file whose KID map holds it, tell remote vaults of a bad pair only once another key replaces it, and let the server CDM unflag a pair it returns; the server never flags a CDM-licensed pair. Log FFmpeg stderr on a failed check and name the missing CDM when none is set.
The client set server cookies with no domain and sent all of them to every host, so a CDN refused segment requests with 400 header too large. rnet sessions now send cookies too.
POST/DELETE /api/dashboard/drain refuses new sessions and jobs (SERVER_DRAINING, 409) and warns open sessions. A CDN can replace a 5xx body, so server errors are now 422, retryable ones and the tunnel check 424, and a new middleware turns any 5xx into 422.
BREAKING CHANGE: INTERNAL_ERROR, DOWNLOAD_ERROR, WORKER_ERROR and the fallback return 422 instead of 500; NETWORK_ERROR and SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE return 424 instead of 503; /api/tunnel/check failures return 424 instead of 502.
A reverse tunnel over the remote connection: the server's service traffic leaves through the client's own network. Only the client dials. Adds the tunnel-test command.
Every structured error carries a short ref, appended to its message and logged with the request; /api/dashboard/status gains per-service error counts. Gzip now compresses in place.
Cloudflare replaces an origin 502 body with its own page, so clients got "502: Bad gateway" in place of the error and resent each failed licence.
BREAKING CHANGE: SERVICE_ERROR and DRM_ERROR now return HTTP 422 instead of 502.
The server and the client both check a forwarded cache file before they write it, because Cacher decodes it with jsonpickle. The session-create cache write now runs off the event loop.
Click picks the subcommand before the dl callback applies the service config, so Services.resolve_command now applies remote and server first. A REST API job routes from its request only.
Relabel HEVC HDR10 tracks whose first fragment carries ST 2094-40 SEI as HDR10P, for dl, the REST API and remote sessions. Config key hdr10plus_probe (default true).
Builds per-scene L1 in unshackle (PQ mean, letterbox-aware) with a generate_dv_mode config (v29/v40/legacy); a failed hybrid no longer exits 0 with no video.
--proxy now overrides HTTP(S)_PROXY and the Windows system proxy while keeping the env CA bundle. Core fallback sessions use the run's proxy, and a warn-only audit hook names service code that sends a request or opens a raw socket outside the proxy; a session with proxy_exempt = True opts out.
A tag with a region (en-US, es-419) matches only that variant and reports a miss instead of taking another region. A bare tag takes the variant it means (pt -> pt-BR, es -> es-ES) and falls back to any variant only when that one is missing. `orig` prefers the title's own tag, `-sl orig` resolves, forced and SDH subtitles are picked from their own pools, and the track name no longer strips the region from the cached language.
BREAKING CHANGE: -l es-419 no longer selects es-ES, and language_priority, language_tags and muxing.default_language treat a regional tag as exact.
The remote-dl client sends exact_lang in dl_params, and REST download jobs set it in the service ctx, so a service can skip the manifests of close-match languages.
--sample downloads only a time window of a title (default 120-180 s) and cuts the mux to it. --include-sample cuts a 60 s sample from a finished file. Both write to a Sample folder with a SAMPLE tag on the filename
A service that sets the flag gets no cookie load, no authenticate() call and no cookie save on a search, on the CLI and in the REST search handler. /api/services reports it as anonymous_search.
