Spawned children re-import the module and start with no TokenBucket, so
--download-processes silently dropped a configured --speed-limit /
global_speed_limit for any 24+ segment batch. Fall back to the in-process
path while a limit is set (same gate as the ranged-parallel paths), log the
fallback, and document the interaction.
Catch the branch up with dev (45 commits) so testers can run the perf work
against current dev.
Conflict resolutions:
- downloaders/requests.py: keep the branch's racing-gated read1, adaptive
controller speed reporting and byte-range slice guards; take dev's
content-encoding checks (raw reads are skipped on an encoded body) and its
rolling SpeedWindow for the no-controller speed fallback. The single-URL
ranged-parallel gate now requires no speed limit and no caller Range.
- service.py / session.py: keep the branch's TimeoutHTTPAdapter and retry
config, raise POOL_MAX_SIZE to 64 so dev's pool-starvation fix survives
(pool_block=True stalls threads on a pool smaller than the in-flight count).
- docs: dev split configuration.md into per-area pages, so the branch's rnet
network option rows moved to reference/configuration/network.md.
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.
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.
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.
Error messages named the resolved language for a user who only ever defaulted to orig. Audio tracks now carry is_original, resolved through Tracks.by_language so it agrees with the downloader.
Detect the dot/space style from the full folder template instead of per segment, so `{artist}/{album} ({year})` no longer yields `Some.Artist/Some Album (2025)`. Also drops empty `[]` groups like the existing `()` handling and removes redundant cleanup passes.
Only fall back to Title.language when the manifest labels nothing, and reject und as firmly as a missing tag. Exported direct-URL subtitles now replace the re-parsed set, and fetch failures stay distinct from parse failures.
One CPython interpreter caps sustained segment throughput at ~160 MB/s;
spawned children each run the existing thread-pool path on a contiguous
chunk of the batch, reaching NIC line rate on fast CDNs. Opt-in via
--download-processes (default 1), engaged only for 24+ segment batches.
Sessions are rebuilt per child from a picklable spec; RnetSession falls
back to a single process when it has no impersonate preset.
Merge cues at the string level instead of round-tripping through
pycaption, which dropped inline tags and cue settings. STYLE and
REGION blocks are kept, duplicate boundary cues splice correctly,
and a bad timing line now skips the cue instead of crashing.
Also rank pysubs2 above SubtitleEdit for ASS to TTML/VTT since
SubtitleEdit flattens inline styling there. Documented the measured
backend fidelity table and added regression tests for the merge.
Upstream migrated the free IMDxAPI from imdbapi.dev to api.tiffara.com.
Endpoints and JSON schema are unchanged, so only BASE_URL and the
user-facing docs/docstrings needed updating.
Share one best-audio selector across the episode and music paths so best/all works for songs, descriptive audio is capped to one track, and codec_priority is honored. Guard --channels and 16:9 canvas math against tracks missing channel/width metadata. Extend --best-available to video languages and full resolution misses in both normal and hybrid mode, and count only deliverable ranges when reporting missing resolutions. Rank video by resolution before bitrate, and trim group audio selections to one track per song with a warning.
BREAKING CHANGE: a missing resolution with -r HYBRID now errors without --best-available, matching non-hybrid behavior.
Swap cookie/PKCE auth for the OAuth 2.0 device authorization grant with a cached rotating refresh token. Fix the connection-token key (`cat`) and move the cache to {cache}/vpn/ to match ProtonVPN.
BREAKING CHANGE: cookie-file auth removed; run once with `enable: true` to approve a device code.
Optional ranking of forced/normal/sdh per language, mirroring audio.codec_priority; first track gets the default flag, so this also picks the default subtitle. Unset = existing behavior.
Persistent job history (capped by serve.history_limit, stored under cache), profiles/config reads, maintenance + env-check endpoints, and 409 conflict code.
Optional Episode.air_date names daily/sports content by date instead of SxxExx (no template change). Presentation-only; `{year}` dropped only when it duplicates the date's year. Round-trips via export/import.
Allow directories.services entries to be git repo specs (URL/owner-repo/ @branch) alongside local paths: clone + TTL-pull as cache, list-order priority with a duplicate-ignored summary, a refresh-services command that force-syncs and reports the per-service diff, and a dirty-clone guard that protects local edits on the automated path. Adds binaries.Git and a redact_paths config toggle.
cdm lookups used the raw service key while decryption upper-cases its keys, so a case-mismatched cdm entry silently used the default. Add a shared ci_get helper, route cdm/decryption through resolvers, drop a redundant decryption mutation and dead downloader writes, and add a regression bench.
Group selected videos by (resolution, range, codec) and mux each group into one MKV; only language is collapsed, so ranges/codecs/resolutions stay in separate files. Adds --merge-video flag + muxing.merge_video config (global and per-service), docs, and tests.
