Delete the dead grouped-download block, the planner, and the music service hooks; Song now flows through the one download loop, gets tagged via tag_file, and answers -w with {disc}x{track} keys.
BREAKING CHANGE: GROUP_AUDIO_DOWNLOADS, get_music_track_options and get_music_collection_label are gone. A music service returns one Audio track per quality and lets the framework choose.
New post_scripts config and repeatable --postscript flag run a command per output, season/album folder, or run, substituting filename-template variables into pre-tokenized argv. The REST API rejects hook commands.
Closes#150
Both became required parameters of dl.result() when adaptive worker scaling
landed, but the API path calls it directly and never supplied them, so every
API-initiated download raised TypeError. Defaults match the click options.
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.
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.
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.
