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.
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.
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.
Only merge back tracks from another manifest, so a drifted id no longer duplicates a rung or wipes the main manifest's own subtitles. track_is_encrypted now recognises an ISM ProtectionHeader.
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.
UNITY_MATRIX emitted 11 int32s instead of 9, oversizing mvhd/tkhd so pymp4 desynced and fTTML subtitles yielded no cues. Also rewrites PIFF senc to CENC so shaka can decrypt Smooth, labels HEV1 as hev1, and raises when a fragment survives decryption still carrying a sample-encryption box.
Smooth fragments set tfhd sample_description_index=2 against a server init carrying a second, identical sample entry. A lone entry left that dangling: mp4decrypt skipped every such fragment silently and demuxers stopped after the first, yielding a file that looked fine but was almost entirely encrypted.
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.
Detect an encv/enca sample entry surviving decryption (moov-scoped 4CC scan) and force a repack so mkvmerge isn't first-FourCC-locked to a generic encrypted codec; warn if one persists after repacking.
Closes#142
by_language now applies RFC 4647 Lookup in exact mode, preferring the string-equal tag so --exact-lang separates base/regional pairs (ar/ar-EG, en/en-US) instead of collapsing them, and dedupes by id to prevent the duplicate-track-id crash. Adds a language-selection regression test.
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.
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.
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.
Bind sessions and download jobs to the API key (not source IP), reject path-traversal cache keys, bound decompression of peer-supplied blobs, gate the CDM device before the vault fallback, and compare API keys in constant time.
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.
Derive both setup_routes and setup_swagger from one ROUTES table, and move the repeated trailing APIError->response block into an @api_handler decorator.
