chore: scrub copyrighted names from tests, comments and docs

2026-08-30T15:05:15Z

Real franchise / show / release-group names had crept back into test fixtures, code comments, a docstring and docs/mediacenter.md while fixing the saga-match and misclassification bugs. Replace them all with invented placeholders ("Some Saga", "A Different Show") and shape descriptions ("a franchise-origin film", "a 3-season show"). Behaviour and assertions unchanged; 738 node tests still pass. Record the rule in CLAUDE.md so it stops recurring.

fix(node): stop a numbered saga all matching its first film

2026-08-30T14:31:34Z

Every " Episode - " file in a numbered franchise resolved to the series' first entry (a real, older film). `sequel_variants` stripped "Episode " and offered the bare "" as a candidate query; that matches the first film's original_title at ratio 1.0 and beat PASS 1's correct-but-lower hit. A franchise's bare name is very often a real, different film. When a Part/Episode/Chapitre/… keyword carried the index, sequel_variants no longer emits the bare base — only " " and " ". Without a keyword (" 3") the bare base is still offered, so that fix is untouched. Verified live against TMDB: the franchise's episodes each resolve to their own entry; the earlier numbered-sequel, two-part-film and franchise-subtitle regressions all hold. docs/mediacenter.md §10.3.

revert(hub): drop the poster-grid movie merge (V12)

2026-08-30T14:13:47Z

V12 collapsed movies that TMDB resolved to the same tmdb_id into one card. With the matcher still imperfect that fuses *different films*: every numbered entry of a saga whose bare title resolves to the same base id becomes one card, and two unrelated movies sharing a title do too (seen live on a 9-film saga and a 2-film pair). A tmdb_id-keyed merge only works once matching is reliable, which it is not yet. Movies render one card per file again; VideoDetailModal loses the `files` prop and the versions list, back to a single Play button; `.video-version-list` and the `video.versions` key (×10 locales) are removed. mergedShows (V6) is untouched — the operator's report was about movies. docs/mediacenter.md §10.1: V12 un-struck, marked reverted.

fix(node): stop a movie with a mangled quality tag being shelved as a series

2026-08-29T16:45:37Z

Found on demo35: "Some.Film.2017.MULTI.108.grp.mkv" — the release name's "1080p" truncated to "108" — makes guessit read S01E08, so enrich.py's flat-library branch (elif ep.episode is not None) filed a standalone film as a series. "Fix match" then only offered TV results for the phantom show, so there was no way out from the UI. - title_parse.has_episode_marker(): true only for an explicit SxxExx / 1x08 / "Episode N" / "Season N" token, not a bare 3-4 digit run. - enrich.py: the flat-library branch now needs ep.season AND ep.episode, plus either a real marker or the absence of a "(2019)"-style year. Every genuine flat-dumped episode in the corpus carries a marker, so real shows are untouched; the same misparse on "1280" ("...2013.1280...") is covered too. docs/mediacenter.md §10.2. Known gap left open: no operator control over the movie/show kind itself — a "this is a movie / a show" toggle would.

feat: V13 — per-card "re-match this one file" (MNP 0.13)

2026-08-29T13:57:06Z

A one-click alternative to the full "Fix match" search-and-pick flow, and reachable without SSH (`meshbay-node video rematch` clears a whole group). - MNP 0.13: tmdb_rematch / tmdb_rematch_ack (additive — an older node logs "unknown type", the button just does nothing). OP_TMDB_REMATCH, signed like tmdb_override (media_cache is shared node-wide). - media_cache.drop_tmdb_match(file_id): forgets the match AND the override marker — deliberately stronger than clear_file_tmdb, since the operator is explicitly asking for a fresh resolution. - webrtc_server: _do_tmdb_rematch / _admin_exec_tmdb_rematch, dispatch + admin-response routing, broadcasts tmdb_rematch_ack. - transport.js: rematchTmdbMatch(fileId, signFn); 'tmdb_rematch' in the admin-op allowlist; tmdb_rematch_ack handled like tmdb_override_ack. - video-app.js: a "Re-match" button beside "Fix match" in the detail modal (isNodeAdmin), then bumpMediaMetaGeneration(). video.rematch_one key in all ten locales. docs/mediacenter.md §10.1: V8–V13 marked done.

fix(node): correct TMDB movie matching, per-file overrides, rematch

2026-08-29T12:58:58Z

A batch of wrong poster-grid matches found live on a real library (2026-08-29): a two-volume film's second part matched the first; a numbered sequel matched a same-year making-of documentary; several entries of one franchise matched a single early entry whose localized TMDB title is the franchise name; one matched nothing. One mechanism: _tmdb_search returned the first candidate query whose title-similarity ratio merely cleared 0.6, before alternative_title / the Roman-numeral variant was ever tried. Matching: - title_parse: fold guessit's volume/part number back into display_title so the parts of a multi-part film stay distinct in the query, the card and the override. - _tmdb_search: keep a strong PASS 1 fast path (ratio >= 0.85, one request), otherwise score every candidate query and pick the best. A year-exact rescue lifts a sub-0.6 top hit to the confidence floor only when TMDB's own year-filtered result lands exactly on the filename's year. No local re-ranking of any single result list; no tmdb.py change. Fix match / rematch: - _admin_exec_tmdb_override: a movie override touches its own file only (guessit gives a whole franchise one display_title); a show override still fans out. Corrected files are marked in media_cache.tmdb_override. - media_cache: tmdb_override table; clear_file_tmdb / clear_tmdb_matches drop auto-resolved matches while sparing manual corrections. - ops.rematch_video + `meshbay-node video rematch` (loopback endpoint + CLI verb): re-resolve a group's video matches after a matcher fix. file_tmdb is keyed by content hash and otherwise only pruned on deletion, so nothing dislodged a cached match before. - a rename now drops the stale auto match too (daemon _reenrich_renamed_video_entries). UI: - VideoDetailModal shows the source filename and resolved TMDB id; an unmatched poster gets a badge (3 new video.* i18n keys x 10 locales). So a wrong match can actually be identified before hitting Fix match. docs/mediacenter.md 10.1 records this and the V8-V13 follow-up backlog (show-branch ladder, year-aware _best_match, wider sequel_variants, the 0.6-0.85 extra calls, movie grid merge, per-card rematch).

fix(node,hub): HEVC transcode fallback, live-add progress, per-group TMDB toggle

2026-08-24T13:57:41Z

Three bugs found live testing the Videos app against a real HEVC/EAC3 show, plus a design change requested afterward: - Streaming always did "-c:v copy", which faithfully reports a source's real hev1 codec string but is unplayable in a browser with no HEVC decoder (most Chrome/Linux builds). The node now transcodes to H264 whenever the probed codec is browser-incompatible (media_probe.py's new BROWSER_INCOMPATIBLE_VIDEO_CODECS), with a `transcode_incompatible_video` node.toml opt-out for operators who know their viewers already decode it. - Dropping a whole season into an already-watched folder gave no scanning indicator and no progress bar: IndexProgress was only ever updated by the two bulk scan paths, never by the real-time per-file watchdog path (_schedule_update/_debounce/_update_entry). That path now accounts a "burst" the same way, without double-counting a file rewritten mid-debounce. - A stray literal "0" rendered in the video detail modal when there was no TMDB match (`meta.confidence` is 0, and `0 && x` renders "0" in JSX/htm, not nothing) — `confident` is now a real boolean. - Whether TMDB is used at all moves from a node-wide setting to per-group (OP_TMDB_ENABLED/tmdb_enabled/tmdb_enabled_ack, scoped like OP_VIDEO_ROOT): an operator running a real media-library group alongside test/demo groups on one node wants outbound TMDB traffic for the one that needs it, not all of them. The custom API token and query language stay node-wide, one shared credential/cache (tmdb_config/OP_TMDB_CONFIG, unchanged reasoning). MNP_VERSION 0.6 -> 0.7, additive.

feat(node,hub): season-specific overviews, manual TMDB match correction, and wizard polish

2026-08-24T12:33:20Z

Two operator-facing fixes for a real 3-season show whose automatic TMDB match was wrong at the show level: per-season overview/air_date tabs in the detail modal (falling back to the show-level text when a season's own is empty), and a "Fix match…" search-and-correct affordance that re-resolves every file sharing the corrected show's display_title. New signed op OP_TMDB_OVERRIDE and two read-only pairs (season_meta_req/resp, tmdb_search_req/resp), MNP_VERSION 0.5 -> 0.6. Also: the create-group wizard gets a spinning indexing indicator and an app-selection step, group settings default the TMDB language to the operator's own locale (never as a global default), and a file renamed mid-session now re-triggers title parsing instead of being silently skipped by the enrichment dedup guard. Fixes two bugs found during this work: the search overlay's z-index lost to the base video-overlay class and rendered invisibly, and season_meta's own empty overview didn't fall back to the show-level one.

feat(node,hub): add Videos group app (poster grid, flat list, TMDB metadata)

2026-08-24T08:04:46Z

Implements docs/mediacenter.md: a "Videos" group application built on the existing files index rather than a separate catalogue. On the node side, new indexer enrichment (technical probe, filename/season parsing, thumbnail generation) runs per-file once an operator has chosen a video_root for the group, plus a TMDB client for on-demand poster/metadata lookups (never client-side, thumbnails delivered over the existing chunk path). On the hub side, a new video-app.js renders a lazily-mounted poster grid or a thumbnail-only flat list, with TMDB entirely optional per group. Along the way: the global apps registry now drives Settings' default-tab picker instead of a hardcoded list, and the video_root is configured from group Settings (like uploads) rather than from Files, with the node refusing to run any TMDB/thumbnail work until one is set. Fixes several bugs found via live testing against a real library, notably a race between two effects writing the same "image ready" state that could leave a poster grid spinning forever on a same-tab revisit — see mediacenter.md §5.4 for the full account of each one.

docs: add Videos app design (mediacenter.md)

2026-08-23T21:35:21Z

Design for a poster-grid / flat-thumbnail group video browser: TMDB enrichment and plain-folder modes, filename parsing validated against a real ~1950-file library (guessit, >95% target), and a revision of desktop-client-v1.md's O12 decision to centralize TMDB metadata and thumbnail caching on the node (data_dir, not the shared roots).
