Uppercase entries in ALIASES never resolved, because get_tag lowercased the input but not the alias. Match real tags first so a service's own tag cannot be taken by another service's alias.
A song skips the muxer, so the decrypted fragmented MP4 was the delivered file: its header states a length of zero and FLAC in an MP4 is not a FLAC stream, so playback stopped early and tagging failed.
Grow the service session pool to downloads * workers before track downloads, run mkvmerge jobs concurrently (muxing.concurrency, default 4), lock DRM preparation per key set instead of globally, and query local vaults first then remote vaults together.
get_services() normalised table names through Services.get_tag() and then handed the result back as an identifier, so kv copy and sync skipped any table whose name differed in case or matched an alias. Yield stored names, and resolve tables case-insensitively.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Also throttle hedge-median recompute to 0.5s, cache replace_fields format
patterns and short-circuit when no $ token, and stream HLS merge with
copyfileobj. Adds test_dash_collapse and live A/B tooling.
Warm up after half a tick and double the worker target while probes pay off, dropping to AIMD +2 on first plateau/error burst. 33% faster in shaped benchmarks; backoff semantics unchanged.
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.
