Builds per-scene L1 in unshackle (PQ mean, letterbox-aware) with a generate_dv_mode config (v29/v40/legacy); a failed hybrid no longer exits 0 with no video.
A tag with a region (en-US, es-419) matches only that variant and reports a miss instead of taking another region. A bare tag takes the variant it means (pt -> pt-BR, es -> es-ES) and falls back to any variant only when that one is missing. `orig` prefers the title's own tag, `-sl orig` resolves, forced and SDH subtitles are picked from their own pools, and the track name no longer strips the region from the cached language.
BREAKING CHANGE: -l es-419 no longer selects es-ES, and language_priority, language_tags and muxing.default_language treat a regional tag as exact.
Manifest, licence and auth stay on --proxy; track, subtitle and attachment downloads use the second proxy. Also exposed as proxy_download on the REST download job with the same server_proxy gate. The download session now ignores HTTP(S)_PROXY and copies rnet cookies set by name.
parse_channels rejected a three-figure layout, so a remote download crashed rebuilding the track from JSON. Add channel_total so --channels can compare either form.
Route titles with a dtsx/dtsy sample entry to MP4 via MP4Box, since Matroska has no CodecID for DTS-UHD. Add per-rendition HLS audio codec selection, fix merge_segments progress and its cleanup path.
An exact height match in one range denied the 16:9 canvas fallback to the others, so a cropped HDR10 or SDR track was dropped whenever an uncropped DV track matched the requested height. Also sweep the hybrid L5 temp files so a killed run cannot leave a stale RPU behind.
Strip cue classes, <v>/<lang>/ruby and karaoke timestamps before conversion, decode entities for SRT/SSA/ASS, load pysubs2 as utf-8-sig, and route sdh_method: filter-subs through convert_before_strip instead of raising.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Replace the hardcoded conversion if/elif in Subtitle.convert with a capability-matrix backend registry (subtitle_convert.py): each backend declares the source->target pairs it supports plus a rank, and run_conversion tries them in order as a real fallback chain. conversion_method pins a backend but still falls back (pin-then-fallback).
- Detect the cross-platform SubtitleEdit 5+ CLI (seconv) and use its --flag syntax for convert, SDH stripping, and reverse-RTL
- Protect styled ASS/SSA from automatic SRT downconversion; honor an explicit --sub-format / sidecar_format
- Read segmented fVTT (wvtt) and fTTML (stpp) directly from fragmented MP4
- Improve ASS/SSA font detection: inline \fn overrides, Format-located Fontname column, @-prefix strip, case-insensitive de-dup; covers SSA too
- Update SUBTITLE_CONFIG.md, example yaml, README; add regression tests and a backend benchmark script
-r HYBRID alone muxed the HDR10/HDR10+ base layer as a standalone output because only the ingredient DV track was flagged hybrid_base_only. The inverse was also broken: HDR10/HDR10+/DV tracks never entered the standalone-deliverable pool, so -r HYBRID,HDR10P only delivered the standalone HDR10+ by accident of the first bug.
- Add Tracks.partition_hybrid_videos: ingredient ranges (HDR10/HDR10+/DV) enter the deliverable pool only when their range is explicitly requested alongside HYBRID; replaces the duplicated filter in dl.py.
- Add Tracks.flag_hybrid_ingredients: any track in the hybrid selection but not in the deliverable selection is flagged hybrid_base_only; replaces and generalises the DV-only dv_is_deliverable special case.
Addresses review feedback on the failed-subtitle handling:
- Fully annotate download_tracks_in_passes and the download_track closure (MyPy strict).
- Replace list[str] skipped_subtitles with a documented SkippedSubtitle TypedDict
(id + language + title) so a client can report which subtitle of which title was
skipped; pin the shape with a contract test.
- Clear DOWNLOAD_CANCELLED in a finally so no failed track leaves it set for later code.
- Document why the subtitle pass must stay sequential (a concurrent pass would silently
drop in-flight subtitles via the cancel event).
- Warn only when a title skipped a subtitle and produced no video/audio/subtitle (was a
loose len(title.tracks) check that ignored chapters/attachments).
- Narrow the over-broad remove() except to ValueError with a debug log.
- Add tests: final-clear on the fatal path, all-subs-skipped keeps video/audio, and
duplicate-language subtitles distinguished by id.
A single failing subtitle track previously aborted the whole download. Add an opt-in
--skip-subtitle-errors flag: when set, a Subtitle failure is logged and the track dropped from
the mux while the video/audio still complete (Video/Audio failures stay fatal; default
behaviour is unchanged).
Done at the right layer to avoid the shared-event race: a failed track sets the process-global
DOWNLOAD_CANCELLED event, which makes other in-flight tracks early-return without raising — so a
skipped subtitle could otherwise silently truncate the video/audio that still got muxed. The
download is split into two passes (download_tracks_in_passes): the fatal tracks download
concurrently first, then the skippable subtitles run in a separate sequential pass once nothing
else is in flight, with the event reset before each and at the start of every title. Skipped
languages are recorded on the dl instance (skipped_subtitles) for callers to surface.
Adds tests for the cancel-event interaction (a failing subtitle no longer truncates the
video/audio), the good/bad subtitle mix, the flag-off fatal path, and the per-title reset.
When -r included HYBRID, the dl pipeline only muxed the hybrid output and dropped every other downloaded range. DV was also treated purely as a hybrid ingredient pool, so an explicitly requested DV range never produced a standalone deliverable - only the lowest DV (the RPU ingredient) was selected.
- Select the best DV per resolution as a standalone deliverable when DV is in -r, while still using the lowest DV as the hybrid ingredient (dv_is_deliverable).
- Flag the ingredient-only DV (hybrid_base_only) so it is downloaded for the hybrid build but skipped during standalone muxing.
- Mux every requested range standalone after hybrid processing; build hybrids from deepcopied ingredients so the originals stay muxable.
- Add Tracks.merge_video_selections to de-dup the ingredient/deliverable overlap so a shared DV track is not downloaded or muxed twice.
