A download whose source title exceeded 255 chars (e.g. a recipe baked into a
Facebook video's title) failed with a StringDataRightTruncation: the worker
auto-fills an empty display_name from the title, which overflows the 255-char
column. Clip the title to 255 at every point it flows into display_name (worker
completion paths + enqueue); the full title is untouched on the asset. Pre-existing
latent bug, surfaced by an unusually long title.
Release v0.31.1.
A queued/downloading row previously showed the bare video id and no thumbnail because asset
metadata was only filled when the download completed. Now:
- service.populate_from_catalog fills title/uploader/thumbnail/date/duration at enqueue from
our own Video/Channel catalog (0 network cost) — feed downloads look right instantly
- worker fills the same from yt-dlp's info_dict on the first progress event (covers ad-hoc
URLs / catalog misses), best-effort, never fails a download
Verified: a paused feed download now shows its real title, channel, thumbnail and duration.
The .gitignore 'downloads/' pattern for the DOWNLOAD_ROOT bind mount also matched the
backend/app/downloads source package, so formats.py/storage.py/service.py never got
committed with M2. Anchor the ignore to '/downloads/' (repo root only) and add the package.
storage.sanitize() now handles arbitrarily messy titles (emoji, ZWJ, fullwidth, clickbait
punctuation): NFKC-normalize, drop emoji/symbol/control unicode categories, collapse
repeated punctuation, underscore-join words -> space-free paths. Accents (HU/DE) preserved,
no ASCII folding. Plex layout uses _-_ separators + Season_{year}.
