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.
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.
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.
