* videos: codec download preferences with transcode and strict-fail options
Add video_codecs/audio_codecs ordered preference lists to the video,
channel, and RSS downloaders, alongside the existing resolution
selector. Codec preference is codec-major: a preferred codec at a
lower resolution beats another codec at a higher resolution.
When 'transcode' is enabled, a downloaded file whose streams do not
match the preferences is re-encoded with ffmpeg after download (only
the mismatching stream; targets are extensible maps, currently h264
and aac/opus/mp3). When 'strict_codecs' is enabled and transcode is
not, a download with no matching format fails permanently instead of
falling back.
Empty codec lists produce a byte-identical yt-dlp command to before.

* videos: honor strict_codecs when transcode cannot produce the preference
Review fixes:
- strict_codecs is now suppressed only when transcoding can produce a
preferred codec for every non-empty preference list (new
transcode_can_satisfy_codecs); av1-only preferences with transcode
enabled fail under strict instead of silently keeping the file.
- No partial transcode: an unfixable video mismatch blocks an
audio-only conversion (and vice versa); the mismatch falls through
to strict/keep.
- fsync the transcode output before rename, and the directory after,
so power loss on a Pi cannot leave a truncated final file.
- mp3 yt-dlp pattern matches mp4a.6B as well as mp4a.6b.
- ffmpeg maps use 0:V:0 (excludes attached pictures) and 0🅰️0?
(tolerates missing audio).
- Strict toggle is no longer disabled by transcode in the UI; popup
wording corrected.

* videos: serialize transcodes machine-wide via shared_ctx lock
Sanic runs multiple worker processes, so an asyncio primitive cannot
serialize transcodes across download workers. A multiprocessing.Lock
in shared_ctx now guarantees only one ffmpeg transcode runs at a time
on the machine; waiting workers poll the lock asynchronously so the
event loop stays responsive while a transcode holds it for hours.

* videos: transcode-lock review fixes
- Document that a crashed lock holder requires an API restart; this is
accepted rather than adding owner-death recovery.
- Move the 'Transcoding' user notification to after the lock is
acquired, so it fires when work begins rather than before a
potentially hours-long wait.
- Soften the lock test docstring to what it measures (in-process
wait/release); trim the acquire docstring to the polling rationale.
- Give transcode_lock its own section header in contexts.py.

NAME_PARSER's suffix whitelist had no audio suffixes (and no mkv/m4v),
so a correctly-named audio file got no published date and sorted to the
very end of its Channel -- which reads as missing. The whitelist now
carries the media suffixes a Video FileGroup can lead with.

The database now lives at <media>/config/wrolpi.db so a library (files,
configs, AND database) travels with the drive between WROLPi systems.
Core:
- wrolpi/db.py: lazy SQLite engine factory (WAL, busy_timeout=30s,
foreign_keys=ON); get_db_curs yields a plain sqlite3.Cursor; native
sqlite3 paramstyle everywhere (no compatibility shims); global sqlite3
adapters keep raw-SQL datetime formats identical to the ORM's.
- wrolpi/fts.py: FTS5 external-content search replacing tsvector/GIN.
Injection-proof websearch->FTS5 translator, bm25(10,4,2,1) reproducing
A/B/C/D weighting, fast(abc)/deep column filtering, snippet headlines.
Stemming contract pinned by dedicated tests (watch/watches/watched/
watching are interchangeable).
- wrolpi/schema_ddl.py: SQLite triggers shared verbatim by the alembic
baseline and test DBs; fixes the channel video_count DELETE/UPDATE
bugs and a latent total_size bug (it used the video id as channel id).
- wrolpi/db_bootstrap.py: startup auto-create/migrate; refuses databases
written by a newer WROLPi (db_version_mismatch); SQLite 3.40 floor;
network-filesystem refusal; never creates/migrates/trusts a database
beneath an unmounted production media directory (shadow-DB guard).
- Alembic: 85 Postgres-era migrations squashed into one baseline;
revision ids are dates (2026_07_10_1350) so filenames self-sort and
alembic_version says when a schema was created; render_as_batch=True.
- All raw Postgres SQL rewritten (ANY->json_each IN, array_agg @> ->
HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT), unnest->executemany/UPDATE..FROM,
generate_series histograms->strftime GROUP BY, DISTINCT ON->
row_number(), writable CTEs->two statements, jsonb_*->json_*, explicit
NULLS FIRST/LAST, LIMIT-before-OFFSET). Simple statements converted
to SQLAlchemy instead (flag upsert, download retry/summary/tag checks,
channel-by-tag estimate, Directory delete).
- Config imports count skipped entries; background dumps are blocked
after a lossy import so partial imports can never overwrite YAML
configs (they are the sole source of truth for rebuilds now).
- Search tolerates explicit JSON nulls for limit/offset (Postgres
treated OFFSET NULL as 0; SQLite errors).
- file_group.id/doc_section.id render as INTEGER PRIMARY KEY on SQLite
(BIGINT is not a rowid alias; FTS5 content_rowid requires it).
Ops teardown: docker-compose db service, CI postgres sidecars,
initialize_api_db.sh, controller postgresql service, psycopg2-binary all
removed. upgrade.sh stops/disables postgresql (data is NOT deleted;
`systemctl enable --now postgresql` restores it); systemd units no
longer Want postgresql.service.
Existing-user upgrade: first boot creates+migrates the DB, configs
import (tags recreate their FileGroups from disk), a refresh rebuilds
the library index. QA'd on the 10.0.0.8 RPi: rebuild matched the
Postgres baseline exactly; survived an uncontrolled hard reboot with
clean integrity checks.
Accepted behavior changes: FTS5 has no stopwords; bm25 length
normalization shifts some rank orders; fast-path d_headline is
un-highlighted; all-negative queries match nothing.
Deferred: Debian/trixie package lists (incl. sqlite3 CLI), Cypress
re-baseline, VACUUM INTO snapshots, exFAT/NTFS warning, auto-kicked
rebuild refresh with progress UX.

- In get_effective_video_settings: on unparseable sleep_requests, delete
the key instead of forcing 0.0. This lets the global config default
(already present from _extract_global_inheritable) take effect, as
suggested by Greptile.
- In handleInputEvent: add explicit `value !== ''` guard before the
isNaN check. Prevents silent NaN in form state for empty number
fields (isNaN('') === false in JS).
Both changes are strict improvements with no behavior change for
valid inputs.
`sleep_requests` (and other numeric inheritable video download settings)
could arrive as strings ('' or '0.75') from the frontend NumberInputForm
and DownloadRequest bodies. These were persisted into Download.settings
(JSONB) and later triggered:
if effective['sleep_requests'] > 0:
TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'int'
in VideoDownloader.execute_download (and similar sites).
Root cause: DownloadSettings.__post_init__ only filtered None/[] and did
no type coercion, even though the dataclass declared Optional[float]/int.
Changes (minimal targeted fix):
- Add _coerce_optional_number helper and apply it to all numeric fields
in DownloadSettings.__post_init__ (the existing sanitization boundary).
- Centralize legacy string coercion for persisted data in the single
read chokepoint: get_effective_video_settings.
- Simplify VideoDownloaderConfig.sleep_requests getter.
- Frontend: use parseFloat for type=number inputs + null defaults for
sleep_requests (prevents '' from ever being submitted).
- Add focused regression test for string coercion path.
- Revert unrelated change to string field filtering behavior.
No NaN/Inf speculation, no duplicated try/float guards at every call site,
no behavior change for non-numeric settings.
* Added encrypted cookies feature for use with yt-dlp. Decrypted cookies never touch the disk.
* Adding sleep between all downloads to prevent rapid requests.
* Channels are fully refreshed before downloading.
* Removing superseded video browser profile.
* Batch reorganization is supported for both Domain and Channel Collections.
* Batch reorganization happens when any Collection does not match the respective file format. For example, a Channel Collection file format that does not match the `yt_dlp_options.file_name_format` will show `needs_reorganization`.
* Individual Collections can always be reorganized. The reorganization is a little more aggressive. Useful for when some files may have been missed in the batch reorganization.
Replacing Channels and Domains with Collection.
Moving downloading relationships from Channel to Collection.
Created domains.yaml config to manage tagged domain collections.
Adding turn-key upgrade solution in the UI.
Storing video settings in session storage to help user start downloads consistently.
Applying channel tag name to new channels when download videos or channels.
Initializing map tiles when importing and resetting map.
