A DVR for YouTube subscriptions, laid out so Jellyfin presents each channel
as a show and each video as an episode. Cron-driven, idempotent, with a
public admin UI for a non-operator.
Verified end to end on susan against three real channels: PO tokens, h264
downloads, Jellyfin resolution from local NFOs with all providers disabled,
retention and tombstones.
Corrections to the original design handover (specs.md documents each with
the evidence, and specs.handover-original.md preserves the original):
- The format sort selected 360p. Ranking acodec above res makes `bv*` prefer
the combined 360p stream, which carries AAC, over the 720p video-only
stream whose acodec is none. vcodec now leads, so a video without h264 at
720p yields h264 lower down rather than VP9 this hardware cannot transcode.
- yt-dlp now requires a JS runtime and the yt-dlp-ejs solver scripts, which
only ship with the [default] extra. Without them the n challenge fails and
the mweb formats disappear entirely.
- --flat-playlist carries no upload dates, so the specced client-side date
filter for backfill was impossible. Backfill is RSS-first.
- skipped_old was terminal, so raising a channel's retention appeared to do
nothing. Added an explicit rescan.
- is_upcoming premieres now defer and retry instead of being skipped forever.
- TubeArchivist is gone, so the media root and the tube.jihakuz.xyz vhost
were both reclaimed; the latter still pointed at its dead port.
240 offline tests, no network and no real yt-dlp invocation.
