Bug fixes
- Desktop auto-rescan: snapshot was_running before check_notifications
updates prev_job_states, so the post-download rescan actually fires.
- web::run shutdown: replace `let _ = tx;` (which dropped the sender
immediately and short-circuited the shutdown select!) with
std::mem::forget(tx); add an idle fallback so the `-> !` is honored.
- /api/preview now resolves the bundled yt-dlp path and extends PATH
for deno discovery, matching the rest of the downloader.
- Scheduler interval clamped to >=1h on read so a manually-edited
config.toml with 0 hours can't trigger every tick.
- maintenance::is_within canonicalizes the parent + filename when the
target is missing; remove_files treats NotFound as success.
Security
- Session tokens stored with issued-at Instant and pruned past 30 day
TTL on every touch (was: unbounded HashSet).
- Login rate-limited per source IP: 5 failures → 60s lockout (429).
- Secure cookie flag added when X-Forwarded-Proto: https is present.
- 4 MiB body size cap via DefaultBodyLimit.
- Security headers middleware: CSP, X-Content-Type-Options,
X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy.
- JS safeUrl() defangs javascript:/vbscript:/data:text URLs before
interpolation into src= attributes.
- Bundled yt-dlp install verifies SHA-256 against the release's
SHA2-256SUMS; deno hash printed for visual inspection. Install also
reports byte counts every 3s so users see live progress.
- yt-offline.db chmod 0600 at open time on Unix.
New features
- Bundled yt-dlp + deno mode: settings toggle (System/Bundled) plus
one-click Install/Update from settings. Ensures executable bit on
every launch in case the install chmod was missed.
- Download queue with configurable max_concurrent (1–10); pending
jobs surfaced in both UIs.
- Music download mode: --extract-audio into music/<artist>/, separate
sidebar entry, /api/music + /music-files/ endpoints, inline <audio>.
- Download quality selector: Best / 1080p / 720p / 480p / 360p.
- Sort videos by Newest / Oldest (upload_date from info.json with
release_date fallback).
- Plex metadata: per-episode .nfo (title, season/episode, aired,
runtime, plot from .description), <stem>-thumb.jpg symlink, and
show-level tvshow.nfo.
- yt-dlp retry/throttle defaults: --retries 30 --fragment-retries 30
--retry-sleep linear=1:30:2 --sleep-requests 1 to ride out the
"Connection reset by peer" failures.
Performance
- password_required cached in AtomicBool; refreshed only on password
change. Eliminates a SQLite query per static-file fetch.
- Job::log → VecDeque for O(1) front-pop instead of O(n) drain.
- Library scan parallelized across cores via stdlib parallel_map.
- Web UI poll: 600ms while active, 5s when idle, 2s after errors.
- Music scan now recursive (Artist/Album/Track.opus).
- percent_encode_segment uses write! to avoid per-byte String allocs.
Code quality
- 27 unit tests covering parse_progress, parse_stem, extract_after,
detect_url_kind, srt_to_vtt, count_cookies, percent_encode_segment,
bind_mode_of, hash_password, lang_label, is_within, sanitize,
year_of, aired_date, xml_escape.
- Unified library::find_video + Channel::all_videos() iterator,
replacing three duplicated linear searches.
- Downloader::browser wired to --cookies-from-browser as a fallback
when no cookies.txt is present.
- mpv detection now matches the binary basename, not substring.
- Settings modal scroll fix; web settings expose all new fields.

Features:
- Port all 7 desktop themes (Dracula, Trans, Emo variants, etc.) to the web UI
- Configurable bind interface (localhost/Tailscale/LAN/all) with detected IPs,
settable from both the web UI and desktop GUI
- Optional password that gates the whole UI and all API access via session
cookies (Argon2), with a login page, logout, and middleware; settable from
both UIs
- Library maintenance: scan for duplicate video IDs and missing assets
(thumbnail/info.json/description), remove duplicates (scan-and-confirm, with
out-of-library path guard), and re-fetch missing sidecars via yt-dlp.
Surfaced in both the web UI and a desktop GUI window.
Optimizations / cleanup:
- Cache has_chapters at scan time (library.rs) instead of re-reading and
parsing every info.json on each /api/library request
- Use the cached channel size in get_library
- Pool a single SQLite connection in WebState instead of opening one per request
- Remove a 1.2 GB stray nested src/yt-offline duplicate tree
Fixes:
- Rescan no longer clears all thumbnail textures (caused thumbnails to unload);
prune only removed entries and bump library_generation so the card grid
refreshes correctly
