Root cause of "movies have no volume control / can't hear anything":
0 of 200 movies had finished transcoding, so every movie streamed its
raw source file — and BDRip/AVI sources very commonly carry AC3/DTS/EAC3
audio, which no browser can decode natively. Browsers respond by hiding
the volume control entirely when they can't find a playable audio track,
which is exactly the symptom reported.
New "audio" transcode quality: video is stream-copied untouched, only
the audio track is re-encoded to AAC — dramatically faster than a full
ABR pass since no video re-encoding happens. Added:
- transcode_audio_fix() in transcode.py
- "audio" as a valid quality value everywhere quick/abr were validated
- POST /transcode/queue/fix-audio-all: cancels every still-pending job
and replaces it with the fast audio fix for the same content (running
jobs are left alone), so a library-wide backlog of slow ABR jobs can
be swapped for something that actually restores sound soon
- Per-movie "Audio" button in Admin, "Fix Audio (Fast, All)" button on
the Transcode Queue page
Note: this doesn't help HEVC/x265 sources, whose video (not just audio)
isn't natively browser-playable either — those still need a full ABR
re-encode to H.264.
- Navbar: drop the Users link (already reachable from Admin's quick-links)
- Admin quick-links: drop Settings (already reachable from the navbar
for every user)
- library_cleanup.py: parallelize the missing-file stat checks across a
small thread pool instead of one file at a time — sequential NAS round
trips were taking minutes for a library of any real size, even after
moving them off the event loop.
New read-only scan (GET /api/library/cleanup/scan) across movies, episodes,
tracks, subtitles, HLS output, transcode queue, and watchlist/progress rows:
- Missing files: DB record exists but the file is gone from disk
- Orphaned episodes: show_id no longer exists
- Orphaned HLS output: transcoded folders left behind by deleted content
- Stuck transcode jobs: "running" 2+ hours with no completion (backend-restart artifact)
- Duplicate imports: same file imported into the library more than once
- Orphaned subtitles / dangling watchlist+progress rows
Nothing is deleted until an admin clicks Fix (per-item or Fix All per
category) via POST /api/library/cleanup/fix.
- New admin Library Scan page walks the NAS mounts directly for movies,
TV, and music not already in Radarr/Sonarr/local storage, and imports
them with storage_type=scan (fully integrated: streamable, transcodable,
listed in Admin) — Radarr/Sonarr import flows are untouched.
- New Music section (nav tab, album-grid browse, per-album track list,
persistent bottom player with queue/seek) backed by a Track model and
range-request audio streaming endpoint.
- MusicBrainz + Cover Art Archive integration (free, no API key) to fill
in album art for scanned tracks, paced to their 1 req/sec rate limit.
- Mounted the NAS music share into CT104 (new mp2 LXC mountpoint,
CIFS read-only) alongside the existing video mount.
- Optional Bluetooth/output-device picker on the player bar via the Audio
Output Devices API (setSinkId) for already-paired speakers — Chrome/Edge
only, since browsers can't pair new BT devices directly.
- New /admin/users page: create/delete users, toggle admin role, guarded against
self-demotion/self-deletion
- Backend: GET/POST/PATCH/DELETE /api/admin/users, admin-only
- Settings moved from /admin/settings to /settings (all logged-in users); the
password-change section shows for everyone, integration/API-key sections only
render (and only fetch) for admins, since those endpoints stay admin-gated
- Navbar: Settings link now visible to all users; added Users nav link for admins
