Cache keys are now the path relative to the service cache dir without .json, so Cacher keys like session_web/<sha1> reach the remote session. The credential filter runs on every path segment, the suffix is appended rather than substituted, and both sides cap the map at 64 keys.
--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.
Answered login prompts and uploaded cache now count as client auth; the client closes on exit and keeps the remote session alive during long downloads.
Regions in GEOBLOCK refuse the service and everything else is allowed. A hit stops the run with a region error instead of auto-proxying; the check also covers proxy exits and the remote-dl client region.
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.
A service that picks its auth path in init could only check the server's cookies directory, so a client-sent jar was invisible and the service fell back to the wrong path. The ctx now carries cookies_supplied, and a malformed cookie blob answers 400 instead of 500.
The rebuild raised KIDNotFound for a header whose KID lives only in the manifest, the single-track route stripped the track's other headers, and the batch cache keyed on the first PSSH alone. Licensing failures now reach the client instead of only the server log.
extract_pssh_from_track returns the first PSSH only, so a track carrying one PlayReady object per header licensed fewer keys than the local path, which absorbs its siblings first. Relay batch licensing failures to the client too.
Only the first WRM header was read and licensed, so a manifest carrying several headers silently lost content keys. Collect KIDs from every header and license each distinct one until coverage is complete.
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.
Check a sequential download against the complete length whenever one is known, and settle the unknown-total case on the 416. An empty body of unknown length, a 206 with no complete length, and a 206 starting past the resume offset all passed the size checks before and were renamed into place. Four restart paths spent no attempt, so a host that always answered the same way cycled forever.
Handlers share one service instance, so a per-session lock keeps two requests out of it at once. Track threads merge and write job state under one lock, and the progress sink coalesces ticks that say the same thing.
One service needed session_id in its license call, which a near-duplicate of get_content_keys supplied behind a service-tag test. service_licence now passes each service only the arguments its own license function declares, so the duplicate and the branch are gone. The REST API license paths and the base PlayReady delegate get the same filtering, replacing their fixed argument set.
Two behaviour changes ride along: an empty license challenge now raises EmptyLicense for every service, not just the one, and a service that declares only challenge now receives a working call instead of a TypeError.
A service can build an AdaptationSet the served manifest does not contain, so the client's re-parse could never find it and the track downloaded with no manifest data. Those tracks now get a one-AdaptationSet MPD of their own.
Match once after every server manifest is parsed, and require range and bitrate in the video fallback, so a per-range ISM ladder no longer hands an HDR10 track the SDR quality level. Pass -xerror to the bsf ffmpeg calls so a failed rewrite keeps the original file instead of a near-empty one.
Init segments now carry dvcC/dvvC with a profile-keyed sample entry and the dby1 brand; track ids cover the manifest URL so per-range ladders stop colliding, and the remote path carries the Atmos flag without inventing a JOC count.
A PlayReady WRMHEADER can advertise fewer KIDs than its multi-key license returns, so a server-vault hit on the PSSH KID alone handed every track the same key subset and failed sibling tracks. Drop the pre-license vault shortcut for PlayReady and reuse the licensed bundle per PSSH.
The client withheld nothing before: every profile's tokens went to any remote server. Filter by active-credential digests and profile names, keeping service-global files; worst case for a withheld file is a server-side re-auth.
Mirror each remote session's self.log into a bounded buffer, drained by the client via GET /api/session/{id}/logs and re-emitted locally. Server-account sessions get no relay. Also namespace service CLI options under service_params so a transport key (profile) no longer collides with a service's own option, on both the session and download-job paths.
serve.server_accounts lends region-tagged server credentials to remote sessions (round-robin per region, per-key opt-in, per-account cache). Remote sessions no longer fall back to the server's local credentials when the client sends none.
Remote mode resolved names with the local alias table and built an empty stub for any unknown tag, so an unentitled service showed a blank help page. Resolve against the server's tags and aliases, and reject unknown names with the list the server does offer.
Add POST /api/session/{id}/segment_filter: the server runs the service's OnSegmentFilter and returns only the unwanted segment URIs, so ads and bumpers are dropped over --remote-only without exposing service code.
The server no longer spends its configured proxy providers on a remote client unless the API key sets server_proxy. It places the client by geolocating the connection address and asks for a proxy when that region does not match its own.
serve.users.<key>.server_cdm accepts a list of service tags; retry re-attaches the job service and a bare string no longer fails open. An unset client server_cdm now follows the server's per-service /tracks flag.
Adds Track.drm_preference so a service can pin a track to Widevine or
PlayReady when a manifest advertises both but only one will license it.
Honoured in DASH/HLS selection, the dl licence path and the remote/API
track round-trip. Also fixes quality-keyed CDM maps sending audio to the
default entry, and a licence callable binding the CDM before the swap.
Gate a title on audio or video languages that must exist, independent of what -l/-al/-vl select. --require-subs joins the same gate: its --s-lang conflict and download-all side effect are gone, so -sl now decides what to keep. Requiring a language that is also excluded fails at parse time.
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.
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.
