Replace the full-height filter rails with one shared floating glass SidePanel
used by Feed, Plex and Playlists. Each collapses to a slim tab beside the nav;
its sections are reorderable "islands" (drag / hide / per-group collapse) with a
per-panel saved layout; the body hides its scrollbar with a soft top/bottom edge
fade. The nav rail becomes a matching floating rounded card.
- New shared SidePanel / PanelGroup / PanelGroups + useScrollFade hook.
- Generalise the feed-only sidebarLayout into a per-panel panelLayout (feed keeps
its storage key; plex/playlists get their own; persisted per account).
- Lift the Playlists rail to App level (selected playlist is now App state) so it
floats and collapses like the filter rails; remove the old CollapsedFilterRail.
- The floating top header's fixed offset accounts for the panels' margins.
- format.ts: new formatRuntime() ("1h 30m"); PlexBrowse dur() + PlexInfo
fmtDur() were byte-identical copies, now both call it.
- PlexPlayer fmt() delegates to formatDuration (keeps the NaN/negative clamp
the live media clock needs); local reimplementation gone.
- Register LS.plexPlayerPrefs; PlexPlayer uses it instead of a bare string.
- Remove the dead PlexPlayerPrefs.wasPlaying field (written on play/pause, never
read) + its two patchPrefs writes.
- PlexBrowse item page: drop the redundant onStateChange={() => q.refetch()} —
PlexInfo.setState already invalidates ["plex-item", id], so q refetches itself.
Bugs:
- ConfigPanel (CB1): unchecking a Plex library from the "all" (empty) state made
that library the ONLY selected one instead of all-except-it, because the toggle
ADDED the key to an empty list. Expand "all" to the explicit section set before
toggling. E2E-verified: uncheck from all → all-except-one.
- Scheduler (SB1): "Purge discovery" bulk-deleted search videos/videos/channels
immediately with no confirm (every AdminUsers destructive action uses useConfirm).
Wrapped in a danger useConfirm dialog (+ trilingual purgeConfirmTitle key).
E2E-verified: dialog appears, Cancel aborts.
Cleanups (behavior-neutral):
- Register LS.configTab; ConfigPanel uses it instead of the bare "siftlode.configTab".
- ConfigPanel + SettingsPanel import SaveState from ui/DraftSaveBar instead of
redeclaring the union (PrefsSaveState is now an alias).
tsc green, re-review clean, localdev boots.
- Extract notifyYouTubeActionError (new lib/youtubeErrors.ts): the "403 → Connect
your YouTube account, else fallback toast" logic was duplicated in Channels.tsx
and ChannelDiscovery.tsx. (Separate file, not lib/notifications, to avoid the
api ↔ notifications import cycle.)
- Extract format.formatCountOrDash(): the `n != null ? formatViews(n) : "—"` count
cell was repeated across the subs/videos columns in Channels + ChannelDiscovery.
- Register channelsTable / channelDiscoveryTable in storage.ts LS instead of bare
"siftlode.*" string literals.
- Delete 7 dead channels.json keys (filterPlaceholder, tags.newTag/createTag,
row.stored/subs/getFullHistory/getFullHistoryHint) from en/hu/de — verified 0
refs (createTag matches were the unrelated api.createTag method, not the key).
Behavior-neutral. tsc green, knip no new unused, localdev boots.
Machine-baseline harvest (ruff + knip), all tsc/parse-green, no runtime change:
- backend: remove 3 unused imports (channels/playlists/youtube) via ruff; drop the
unused `job` binding in unshare_download (keep the _own_job ownership guard call).
- frontend: remove `export` from 23 internally-used-only symbols (knip "unused
exports") to shrink the public surface; delete 2 genuinely-dead declarations
(PlexBrowseResult — leftover from the removed /browse route; WIDGET_TITLES —
hardcoded English titles superseded by i18n).
Held back for a decision (unused here = possibly-unwired, NOT dead — flagged, not
removed): e2ee.lock()/clearDevice() (security primitives never wired to logout / a
"forget device" feature) and loadDefaultViewFilters (App reimplements it inline — a
DRY issue). See siftlode-ops/CODE-HYGIENE.md.
1. Series detail pages now match the movie info page: the customize menu lives in the
hero panel (top-right), the Cast/Seasons/Related strips sit in glassy panels, and the
menu is dynamic — Related shows can be toggled (new plexInfoRelated pref).
2. The Plex search box now survives F5 (persisted per-account like the filters).
3. Show + season hero posters get a hover Play/Resume overlay.
4. Card top-right watched toggle can now UN-watch: the watched/in-progress badges were
intercepting the click (no pointer-events-none), so the toggle underneath never fired.
5. Episode card: the watched check no longer jumps on hover (badge now shares the
toggle's box); every card's title/meta gets its own glassy translucent background and
the Add-to-playlist button is always visible (not hover-only).
6. Season-card 'In progress' label is readable again (solid dark badge over the poster).
7. On a season page the show title is clickable → back to the show (history-correct).
Streaming / subtitle sync (the core fix):
- stream.py: add -copyts so HLS segments carry the true absolute PTS, and measure
the real keyframe start K from seg_0 (ffprobe) -> return it as the session start.
Fixes the seconds-long subtitle lead caused by using the requested seek offset
instead of the keyframe ffmpeg actually lands on with video stream-copy.
- Add -noaccurate_seek so the re-encoded audio starts at the same keyframe as the
video (was starting (X-K)s later -> seconds of silence after each seek/audio switch).
- Compensate the fixed ~1.0s lag hls.js introduces for non-zero-start copyts streams,
folded into the session start so the clock, seeking and the subtitle shift are all
content-accurate.
- /subtitle gains an offset param; _shift_vtt shifts absolute cues onto the session's
zero-based clock and DROPS fully-past cue blocks (collapsing them to 0->0 made every
past cue active at currentTime 0 on resume -> a pile-up until playback advanced).
Audio:
- /session + stream.py gain an audio A/V-sync offset (-itsoffset, full +/-, second
input only when non-zero).
Player settings & personalization (per-account, persisted -> survive F5):
- storage.ts: useAccountPersistedObject (per-account JSON prefs blob).
- PlexPlayer: volume/mute, audio+subtitle language (index-based match, fixes the F5
audio-revert), sync offsets, seek steps, subtitle style, auto-hide, play intent.
- Hotkeys A (cycle audio) / S (cycle subtitle), mouse-wheel volume, Ctrl+arrow fine
seek, per-user plain/fine seek-step + auto-hide toggle.
- Subtitle appearance: size / colour / vertical position / background via ::cue + line.
- UI: split into a Tracks quick-menu + a tabbed gear panel (Sync | Playback | Subtitle);
both dismiss on outside-click; edge-aware control tooltips.
- i18n en/hu/de for all new strings.
Playlist view now groups a run of episodes from the same show into a
collapsible season/show block so a whole series doesn't sprawl into an
endless flat list; movies stay standalone (larger poster card in the
accordion). Two per-account layouts — Accordion and Tree — persisted via
LS.plexPlaylistLayout; show groups start collapsed. Reorder is drag &
drop (@dnd-kit): a show block moves as one unit, episodes reorder within
their show, keyboard-draggable via KeyboardSensor. Remove works per item,
per season, or per whole show. The add-to-playlist dialog is generalised
to a single leaf or a whole group (tri-state none/some/all with an in/size
count); the show page gains add buttons for an episode, a season, and the
whole show. i18n en/hu/de.
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.
Per user feedback: promote Plex from a hidden feed-Source option to a first-class
left-nav module, with its own filter sidebar and the shared top search box.
- Plex is now a nav-rail module (page='plex', gated on me.plex_enabled) — its own
page → correct browser Back/Forward; removed the Feed Source-dropdown 'plex' hack.
- PlexSidebar.tsx: left filter column (library scope, watch-state for movies:
all/unwatched/in_progress/watched, sort) — per-account persisted (App state).
- Header search box now also serves the Plex page (integrated search); the live
YouTube-search escalation stays feed-only.
- PlexBrowse.tsx reworked: infinite scroll (IntersectionObserver, no 'Load more'),
content-visibility for smoother long-list scroll, show drill-down rides history
(useHistorySubview) so Back returns to the grid; dropped the stray 'YouTube feed'
button on the show page.
- backend /browse gains a per-user watch-state filter (show=, movies only).
- plex i18n (navLabel + filter.*) en/hu/de.
Note: episode-title 'Episode N' on some shows (e.g. Westworld) is Plex-side
(unmatched show) — we mirror what Plex has; Match/Refresh in Plex + re-sync fixes it.
Multi-account-in-one-browser (esp. with per-tab accounts) leaked one account's client state
into another via shared localStorage keys. Scope every account-specific key by the tab's active
account (accountKey/readAccount/writeAccount/useAccountPersistedState helpers), so nothing bleeds
across accounts or tabs:
- Real leaks: selected playlist, client notification history + settings, onboarding-dismissed.
- UI position: feed page, channel-manager filter/view + tables, playlist sort, Settings/Stats/
Users/Config tabs.
- Previously DB-adopted caches (theme, hints, performance mode, sidebar layout, nav/filter
collapse) — now the cache is per-account too, so there's no flash of the other account's value
on login.
Kept intentionally global: siftlode.lang (needed pre-login on the Welcome page; the DB pref still
scopes it per-account after sign-in) and siftlode.seenVersion (a per-browser 'new version' banner).
E2EE private keys (IndexedDB) and the chat-dock key were already per-user.
Feed filters and the default-saved-view mirror lived under shared localStorage keys, so one
account's view (incl. its starred default) leaked into another account signed into the same
browser — visible with per-tab accounts as a fresh account showing the previous account's
'N active' filters instead of a clean default.
Key both by the tab's active account (siftlode.filters.<id> / siftlode.defaultViewFilters.<id>);
load a tab's filters from its own account on login/switch/add, falling back to defaults when the
account isn't known yet. A share link's filters still win and are persisted to the account. The
old shared keys are simply no longer read (a one-time reset to defaults on the first load after
this change; migrating them would risk re-leaking across accounts).
Restructure the app shell into three top-level columns:
- The per-user sync status (video counts + live sync state) moves from the top bar to a
compact block at the top of the left nav rail (icon-only with a tooltip when collapsed).
- The feed's Mine/Library scope toggle moves to the top of the filter sidebar.
- The filter sidebar becomes a full-height sibling column with its own collapse control
(a thin rail carrying the active-filter count), mirroring the nav rail. The top bar is
now just the feed search / page title.
- Both panels' collapsed state is persisted to the user's preferences (server-side, so it
follows the account across devices), seeded from a localStorage cache to avoid a flash.
Default: both panels open.
A new "Saved views" filter-sidebar widget (SavedViewsWidget): save the
current filters under a name, apply one with a click (active-highlighted
when it matches), rename, delete (confirm), drag-reorder, share by link
(reuses shareUrl), and star one as the default. The default view's filters
are mirrored to localStorage so loadInitialFilters applies it synchronously
on load/F5 (an api/url share link still wins; no default → last-session
filters as before). Hidden for the demo account. EN/HU/DE.
- lib/store.ts: createStore<T> — one observable-value primitive (get/set/subscribe/use)
replacing the hand-rolled listeners/subscribe/emit triad several modules each had.
- lib/storage.ts: LS key registry (every siftlode.* key in one place), readMerged/
readJSON/writeJSON (the try/JSON.parse/merge/catch done once), and usePersistedState
(the reactive persisted-string hook, generalizing usePersistedTab).
