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 first of the widevine / playready config keys in a cdm entry sets which device loads first and which DRM system licenses a track that offers the two. An entry that lists playready first changes from Widevine to PlayReady.
--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.
Each keeps one kind of track inside its track type. A run of more than one title skips a title that has no such track. The REST API rejects a non-boolean value for a boolean dl param, and the DASH parser reads audio description from Role elements.
Remove only control characters in unicode mode. A mark after a zero width joiner or a digit was still dropped (#161). In ASCII mode a decomposed title now transliterates like the composed one.
Names change for titles with combining marks, compatibility ideographs or decomposed spellings, so an existing library can get a second folder.
A remote client that passes --cdm, has a cdm entry for the service that named the loaded device, or sets server_cdm: false now declines the server CDM at session create, and warns when the server keeps it. A service option listed in SERVER_DEVICE_OPTIONS keeps the server CDM.
A bare query skips a failing provider and errors when none answers; an unknown prefix such as us:seattle fails with a hint. The REST path now loads WindscribeVPN.
Basic, NordVPN, Windscribe, Gluetun and Hola no longer raise on a query they cannot serve. Hola parses stdout only and reports a ban; NordVPN cities use the API filter; uk maps to gb.
Runs a loopback forwarder per region-named profile (unshackle-<region>), so
--proxy and --proxy-download can exit in different countries

The importer builds subtitle tracks from track rows that carry a url, which the format promised and no reader did. The writer keeps a conflicting KID instead of overwriting it, identifies a manifest by its whole URL, writes subtitle rows as srt or vtt rather than enum names, and survives an export file it cannot read.
--export writes the mediaexport format with DRM, content keys and manifests at title level, and unshackle's own track dicts under x-unshackle. unshackle import reads mediaexport, unidl v1 and unshackle v2 through the shared reader, applies the export's request headers to the import session, and rebuilds DRM from the title-level pool. mediaexport is a git dependency on unshackle-dl/mediaexport.
Map each KID to its fragments from the ciphertext moov/moof (tenc, seig, ISM duration clock) and decode up to three windows per KID that never cross into another KID, so a clear lead cannot hide a wrong key and only the failing KID is flagged. Decode every frame (wrong-key HEVC keyframes decode clean), re-judge mid-GOP starts on keyframes, time out every FFmpeg run, and refuse to store a flagged pair again in SQLite.
--acodec now lists its codecs in --help, --vcodec drops the duplicate entries, and the REST API derives its allowlists from the same types, so AC-4, DDP, VORB and sub_format "original" stop being rejected and H264 stops being silently dropped. Adds shell completion for --acodec and repairs MultipleChoice completion. Raises the click floor to 8.2.
Manifest, licence and auth stay on --proxy; track, subtitle and attachment downloads use the second proxy. Also exposed as proxy_download on the REST download job with the same server_proxy gate. The download session now ignores HTTP(S)_PROXY and copies rnet cookies set by name.
The licence response lists KIDs a server vault supplied, the client proves them with the decode check, and a bad pair goes to the new session keys/bad route so the server flags its own row. Client vault keys go first over --remote, and the dashboard health warns when no SQLite vault can store flags.
Verify a vault-sourced key with an FFmpeg decode after decryption. On failure flag the KID:KEY locally with its source, restore the ciphertext, and retry through the remaining vaults and then the CDM.
A dead proxy, or one that exits from this machine's IP, now fails with INVALID_PROXY instead of retrying every request; remote session create also builds the service off the event loop so a stuck check cannot block the server.
Batch and per-track remote licences read the vaults but never wrote back, so a --remote or import run kept nothing. Vault hits now replicate to the other vaults, and the server branch resolves keys under drm_lock like the local path.
Assert that verify, params, cert and auth reach a spawned child, and that a mounted adapter the child cannot reproduce falls back to the single-process path. Documents --download-processes in the CLI reference.
Assert that a probe is judged on the trailing tick, that a backoff is temporary and climbs back to the cap, and that a worker always finds its next segment staged. Documents adaptive-workers behaviour in the downloading guide.
