Playback failed in Jellyfin the day after deployment, for uncached videos only. The handler blocked on the full download-and-mux before sending anything at all -- not even response headers -- so a 46-minute upload sat silent for 79 seconds and the client gave up. The proxy counted it a success, which is why /healthz and doctor both looked fine. Yesterday's "DirectPlay verified" only ever ran against videos already pulled during testing, so the first-play path was never exercised. The output is already a fragmented MP4, so it is readable while being written; a finished file only buys a correct duration and working seeks. Cap the wait at --first-byte-grace (12s, explicit in the unit) and stream whatever has not muxed by then. Measured: 156s -> 12.0s TTFB on a 66-minute upload, with ranges on a complete file unchanged. The cost is a first play with no seek bar when the grace is missed. Every later play of that video is perfect. Also fixes a hang found while testing this: the streaming loop waited on "finished and good" rather than "finished", so a producer that died after writing some bytes held the connection for the full 45s stall timeout and then dropped it. The stale yt-dlp warning pointed at youtube-automate's venv, the tree we are decommissioning; it now names ytstream's. /healthz reports the serving mode and grace. Eight new proxy tests, 353 passing.

"""
|
|
ytstream -- just-in-time YouTube streaming proxy for Jellyfin.
|
|
|
|
Serves one endpoint per video:
|
|
|
|
GET /watch/<video_id> muxed avc1+mp4a MP4, range-capable
|
|
GET /healthz JSON status (sessions, cache use, counters)
|
|
|
|
A `.strm` file whose contents are `http://127.0.0.1:8099/watch/<video_id>` plays
|
|
that video without any of its bytes ever having been stored on disk beforehand.
|
|
|
|
ffmpeg reads only local FIFOs; every piece of YouTube protocol handling stays
|
|
inside yt-dlp. See FINDINGS.md for what has and has not been verified.
|
|
|
|
Safety rails, because a Jellyfin library scan can ask for every episode at once:
|
|
|
|
--no-fetch never start a pipeline. Log the request and return 503.
|
|
Use this for a first library scan: it reveals whether
|
|
Jellyfin probes .strm targets with zero YouTube traffic.
|
|
--max-pipelines cap on CONCURRENT pipelines (default 2). Excess -> 503.
|
|
--max-starts cap on TOTAL cold starts per window (default 20/hour). This
|
|
is the one that bounds a runaway metadata refresh: concurrency
|
|
alone only slows a 1249-episode churn down, it does not stop
|
|
it. A person watching podcasts starts a handful of videos an
|
|
hour; a refresh storm hits the cap in seconds.
|
|
--cache-gb tmpfs budget; least-recently-used complete files are evicted.
|
|
|
|
Serving modes. The output is a fragmented MP4, so it is readable while it is
|
|
still being written; the only thing a finished file buys is a correct duration
|
|
and working seeks, because ffmpeg patches the real duration into the moov on
|
|
close and ignores both mvhd.duration and an injected mehd box before then.
|
|
|
|
default wait for the mux, but only for --first-byte-grace seconds,
|
|
then serve what exists. Short videos finish inside the
|
|
grace and keep the exact duration and ranges; long ones
|
|
start immediately and regain both when the mux lands.
|
|
--first-byte-grace raise it above --wait-timeout for the old strict behaviour
|
|
(finished file or 504), which is only safe for a client
|
|
that will wait minutes for its first byte.
|
|
--growing grace of zero: serve as soon as any byte exists.
|
|
|
|
Why the grace exists at all, measured 2026-08-13 on this machine: the wait is
|
|
~3s to extract plus roughly duration/50..110 to pull and mux, so a 46-minute
|
|
upload took 79 seconds during which the handler sent nothing -- not even
|
|
response headers. Jellyfin reported "playback error" on the first play of every
|
|
long video while already-cached ones played perfectly.
