- fetch_available_subs() queries yt-dlp for manual + auto-generated
subtitle langs available on YouTube for any given video
- GET /api/videos/by-yt/{ytId}/subs exposes this to the frontend
- DownloadRequest now accepts subtitle_langs to override the global
setting on a per-download basis
- Watch page fetches available subtitle langs on load (in parallel),
shows a CC dropdown with manual langs + auto-generated langs labeled
"(auto)"; selected lang is passed through to the download

- auto-sync daemon: background thread checks every hour and syncs followed
channels for users with sync_interval_hours set (6/12/24h options)
- disk stats: /api/stats now returns total/used/free/download bytes;
Stats page shows a disk usage bar
- subtitles: subtitle_langs setting (e.g. "en,sv") passed through all
download paths; yt-dlp writes .srt files alongside the video
- Settings page: sync interval dropdown + subtitle languages input

Changing the quality dropdown while a video is already downloaded now
immediately deletes the old file and starts a fresh download at the new
quality — no separate Re-download button needed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Quality selector now always visible when idle (not just pre-download)
- Saved chip shows actual downloaded resolution (e.g. "Saved · 1080p")
- Re-download chip deletes existing file and starts new download at selected quality

The unified effect already gates polling on dlStatus===complete, but
handleDownloadAndPlay was still calling pollForFile immediately on click,
before the download even started.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Never start polling until backend status==="complete" or video.is_downloaded
is true, preventing the player from loading a partially-written file.

On mobile: move action buttons below the banner into their own row
(flex-1 Follow + Download, compact Re-index) instead of cramming
three full-size buttons inside the banner overlay alongside the avatar
and name. Desktop keeps the original inline layout. Also reduced
banner height, avatar size, and description to 2-line clamp on mobile.

Removed the label ('Not for me') and kept it icon-only to match the
minimal direction, but the -3.0 affinity signal still fires so the
feed learns to show less of that content.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- VideoCard: actions now hover-only everywhere (was always-visible on mobile)
- Watch: remove Good/Bad rating chips — Like covers positive signal,
dismiss/skip covers negative. Fewer buttons, same data.
- Watch: PiP and Theater are now icon-only (no label)
- Watch: increase content gap to gap-4/gap-5 for more breathing room
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- VideoCard list variant: strip URLs/affiliate links before rendering,
collapse to 1 line (was 2 lines of raw text including https:// spam)
- DescriptionBox collapsed preview: 2 lines / 200 chars before "Show more"
(was 4 lines — too much affiliate crap before you can dismiss it)
- Full description still shown when expanded in Watch view
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Default list view across all pages (Home, Following, History, Queue,
ContinueWatching, Liked, Discovery, SearchResults, Channel)
- Watch.jsx mobile: smaller chips/title/avatar/meta, hide tags + keyboard
hint on mobile, tighter gaps, compact description padding
- Fix mobile bottom nav showing focus outline on tap
- Fix _update_affinity to write negative entries (not just positive) so
dislikes/dismissals on unseen content actually register
- Dismissing a discovery video now fires -3.0 affinity against its tags,
matching the dislike weight
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Ranked feed — affinity was broken:
- Was looking up user_tag_affinity by v.category (e.g. "Science & Technology")
but affinity is stored using fine-grained video tags ("linux", "rust", etc.)
- Now uses SUM across all matching affinities: category OR any tag found in the
video's tags JSON via instr() — up to 5 matches to prevent runaway scores
Ranked feed — completion rate now influences channel scoring:
- Added avg_completion_pct to channel_stats CTE (AVG of completion_percent)
- Channels where you finish videos score higher; channels you bail on score lower
- Defaults to 50% (neutral) for channels with no tracked completions
Progress endpoint — backend auto-watched safety net:
- If completion_percent reaches ≥90% on a video >60s, mark watched automatically
- Catches cases where browser closes before the 10s debounce fires
- Guards against double-calling _update_affinity with not prev_watched check
VideoPlayer — seamless local file switch:
- Removed switchedToLocal state which caused a race condition: video loaded with
local_file_url already set but flag was still false, requiring a page refresh
- local_file_url from the backend is the single source of truth (backend gates
it with os.path.exists so it only appears when the file is actually on disk)
- Show spinner while video metadata loads, then immediately show local player
if file exists — no YouTube flash for already-downloaded videos
- After download completes, single refetchVideo() picks up the new URL and
React re-renders directly into local player

- Rewrite list_channels to run exactly 4 SQL queries regardless of channel
count: channel rows, aggregated video stats (GROUP BY), new-video counts,
and latest video (derived-table JOIN replaces per-row correlated subquery)
- Remove dead _CHANNEL_STATS_SELECT (orphaned after the rewrite)
- Fix upload_frequency_days: use pre-computed date_span_days from vstats
instead of a broken per-channel db.execute() call
- Restrict new_counts query to id_csv so it uses idx_videos_channel_indexed
- markChannelsSeen: optimistic setQueryData instead of invalidateQueries,
eliminating a full channel-list re-fetch on every Following page visit
- DownloadIndicator idle poll: 10s → 30s (no need to hit DB when idle)

Sync throttling:
- sync-all now skips channels crawled within the last 6 hours (prevents
re-scraping 1266 channels on every button press)
- Channels are queued into a single _index_channels_batch task that runs
with 1.5s delay between each yt-dlp call instead of firing 1266
background tasks simultaneously
- Startup enrich task reduced from 10 to 3 videos (3 yt-dlp calls on
each container restart)
- Enrich task adds 2s sleep between metadata fetches
SQLite stability:
- busy_timeout=5000 prevents SQLITE_BUSY errors under concurrent load
- synchronous=NORMAL speeds up writes without data loss risk (safe with WAL)
Following page:
- staleTime: 60s on channels query so cached data is reused immediately
on revisit; gcTime keeps it in memory for 5 min

List variant:
- Mobile thumbnail w-32 (128px) instead of w-56 (224px) — much less dominant
- Title 12px mobile / 14px desktop (was 15px everywhere)
- Channel/meta 10px mobile / 11px desktop
- Channel avatar shown next to channel name on desktop
- Description hidden on mobile, line-clamp-2 on desktop (was line-clamp-3)
- Actions always visible on mobile (hover:opacity on desktop only)
- Tighter spacing (gap-3, px-2, py-2)
Grid variant:
- Removed description entirely — too cluttered on narrow columns
- Title 12px mobile / 13px desktop
- Channel/meta 10px everywhere
- Avatar 28px mobile / 32px desktop
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- App-shell layout (height:100dvh, only main scrolls) so the bottom nav
is a natural flex child and never disappears regardless of browser
chrome show/hide behaviour
- Bottom nav reduced from h-16 to h-14, icons from 20px to 18px, labels
from 10px to 9px — slimmer bar, still readable
- Header: min-w-0 on search prevents horizontal overflow; user/sign-out
hidden on mobile (accessible via Settings); logo shortened to "YT" on
mobile; px-3 / h-12 on mobile instead of px-4 / h-14
- Grid card descriptions hidden on mobile (hidden sm:block) — reduces
height cramping in the 2-column feed
- scrollToTop() utility replaces window.scrollTo so pagination still
scrolls to top within the new scroll container

Reading from the channels query cache was unreliable (cache might not be
loaded, or channel not followed). Add c.thumbnail_url AS channel_thumbnail_url
to _VIDEO_SELECT so every video response carries its channel avatar directly.
VideoCard uses it with cache as fallback.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Card wrapper overflow-hidden was clipping description text at the card
boundary. Move overflow-hidden + rounding to the thumbnail only so the
card body text has room to render fully.

Date and views share a meta line; description shows up to 2 lines below —
gives enough context to judge a video during discovery without opening it.
Both fields are optional so cards without them stay compact.

VideoCard grid: YouTube-style layout — channel avatar circle (falls back
to letter) left of title/meta, avatar is clickable to go to channel page,
date on its own line for breathing room, badges inline with channel name
Bottom nav: env(safe-area-inset-bottom) so it clears iOS home indicator,
active tab gets a soft accent pill behind the icon, slightly bolder label

Alongside the CSV option, add a text area that accepts copy-pasted text
from the YouTube subscriptions page. Extracts @handle from lines like
'@handle•N subscribers' using regex, deduplicates, then calls follow-bulk.
Button live-counts how many handles are detected as you paste.

Bar depends on reliable dislike data which YouTube doesn't expose.
Show likes inline as "X.XM likes" alongside views and date instead.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Comments: switch from CLI --write-comments to yt-dlp Python API with
getcomments=True — more reliable, proper extractor_args dict format
Dislikes: add dislike_count column, fetch from returnyoutubedislike.com
after each video metadata upsert (5s timeout, non-fatal)
UI: replace emoji like count with a like/dislike ratio bar — blue fill
showing like proportion, labels on each end; views stay in meta row

Same pattern as view_count: model column, yt-dlp extraction, SQL select,
VideoDetail field, startup migration, and display in Watch meta row.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Video model: view_count column (Integer, nullable)
- ytdlp._normalize_video: extract view_count from yt-dlp info
- _VIDEO_SELECT: include v.view_count in all queries
- VideoDetail schema: view_count field
- Watch page: formatViews() helper, show "X.XM views" in meta row
alongside date and category
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- VideoComment model (video_id, author, text, likes, is_pinned, published_at)
- fetch_video_comments() in ytdlp.py: top 20 comments, no reply threads,
sorted pinned-first then by likes
- GET /videos/by-yt/{id}/comments — returns cached comments instantly
- POST /videos/by-yt/{id}/comments/refresh — fetches from YouTube, stores, returns
- Watch page: CommentsSection shows "Load comments" button when uncached,
renders comments with author/likes once loaded; Refresh link to re-fetch

- Backend: DELETE /stats/taste/{tag} removes the row from user_tag_affinity
- API: deleteTasteTag(tag) helper
- Stats UI: × button on each tag chip, faint by default, full opacity on hover;
invalidates stats query so the tag disappears immediately

- manifest.json + icon.svg for installability on mobile (standalone mode)
- index.html: theme-color, apple-mobile-web-app meta tags, manifest link

Name, subscriber count, and action buttons sit at the bottom of the
banner with a gradient overlay. Falls back to a plain dark header when

A failed login attempt was triggering the global 401 interceptor which

getQueue was called on the watch page but missing from the import list,

- _cookie_args() no longer falls through to --cookies-from-browser when
cookies_file is configured but missing. Firefox isn't installed in the
Docker image, so that fallback caused yt-dlp to exit with empty stdout
and every metadata fetch to return "Video not found on YouTube".
- fetch_video_metadata() now retries without auth args if the first call
fails, so a broken cookie config can't block public video fetches.
- Add use_oauth2 setting + full device-auth flow (POST /settings/oauth2-init,
GET /settings/oauth2-status) with OAuth2Section UI in Settings page.
- Add GET /settings/ytdlp-test diagnostics endpoint.
