Backend (migration 0047_plex_collections): a plex_collections table mirrors every Plex
collection (card metadata + smart flag + an editable flag reserved for Phase 2); membership
is stored as GIN-indexed collection_keys on member movies (plex_items) and shows (plex_shows).
The background sync (plex_sync) now fetches each library's collections + their children and
rebuilds membership — so ALL reads are local (Plex's dual-language collection queries are slow;
this trades a ~4-min background sync for instant reads). New /api/plex/collections endpoint;
/browse gains a combinable filter; item_detail returns the movie's collection
'strips' (sibling titles as playable cards, smallest/most-specific collection first) — all pure
local lookups.
Frontend: PlexSidebar gains a searchable Collection picker + an active-collection chip;
PlexInfo renders the collection strips (playable posters + 'Browse collection' → sets the
filter); the collection is part of PlexFilters (persisted). i18n en/hu/de.
Phase 2 (create/edit collections with write-back to Plex) is separate.
UAT follow-ups on the Plex filter epic:
- Sort now has an asc/desc toggle (sort_dir), applied to any sort field.
- Genre multi-select gains an Any/All mode (genre_mode: OR vs AND containment).
- Director/actor/studio become multi-value: people AND (titles featuring all selected),
studios OR; clicking them on the info page stacks (unions) instead of replacing, and
the sidebar shows each as a removable 'Active' chip.
- fix(history): clicking a metadata filter on the info page now pushes a fresh grid
entry instead of history.back(), so browser Back returns to the info page rather than
leaving the Plex module.
- fix(player): fully tear down the <video> + hls on unmount and guard late play() calls,
so backing out of a just-started video no longer leaves audio playing in the background.
i18n en/hu/de (match any/all, sort direction).
Backend (migration 0045_plex_filter_meta): plex_items gains rating (audienceRating
~IMDb), content_rating, studio, originally_available_at, and GIN-indexed genres /
directors / cast_names — all mirrored from the cheap section listing (no per-item API
calls; they also seed a future watch-habit recommender). /browse gains genre / content-
rating / year / rating / duration / added-within / director / actor / studio filters
(@> containment, GIN) + sort by year|rating|duration|release; new /facets endpoint
returns available genres+ratings (with counts) and the year/rating/duration bounds. A
thin on-disk image cache (.plex-img-cache) serves posters/art/cast photos from local
disk after first fetch (~7-14x faster repeat loads).
Frontend: PlexSidebar grows the full filter set (facet-driven genre/age chips, rating
steps, year range inputs, duration buckets, added-within, active people/studio chips,
clear-all); filters persist per-account as one JSON blob. PlexInfo metadata (year,
genre, director, cast, studio, IMDb score) is clickable → sets the matching filter and
returns to the filtered grid (page variant only; the in-player overlay stays read-only
so a stray click can't stop playback). i18n en/hu/de.
Backend (no migration): item_detail now also returns IMDb score + id/url (from the
Plex Rating/Guid arrays), content rating, genres, director(s), studio, tagline, and
cast as {name, role, photo}. New host-whitelisted /person-image proxy serves cast
photos from Plex's public metadata CDN (keeps third-party requests off the browser).
Frontend: reusable PlexInfo component in two forms — a full info page opened from a
card's 'i' button (history subview, art backdrop, Play/Resume + watch controls) and a
lean overlay in the player toggled with 'I' (video keeps playing). Two per-user view
prefs (faint backdrop, cast row) persisted in preferences. Mark-unwatched / clear-resume
cover the watched-reset gap. i18n en/hu/de.
