Replace the bare long-poll wake listener with a hybrid server→agent
downlink that consumes the new GET /api/internal/agent/events SSE stream
first and falls back to the long-poll wake when SSE is unavailable or
silently buffered. Resurrects the SSE client retired with WebRTC
(signal_client.go) as events_client.go — a bounded-scanner reader
(256 KiB line / 1 MiB event) that surfaces heartbeat comments as ping
events so the consumer can detect liveness.
runDownlink dispatches on the new [daemon] downlink config:
- auto (default): SSE-first; after maxSSEFailures dead/buffered attempts
fall back to long-poll for 5 min, then re-probe SSE.
- sse: SSE only, no fallback (known-good networks / testing).
- poll: the pre-0.14 long-poll wake only.
A stream is "healthy" only if it delivers a frame within livenessTimeout
(40s vs the server's 15s heartbeat). Crucially the liveness-timeout branch
returns UNHEALTHY even if an earlier frame arrived: a proxy that flushes
the connect preamble (one ping) then stalls must not pin the agent to SSE
forever — that's the partial-buffering case the fallback exists for.
event: command applies typed controls via the same OnControl callback
/agent/sync uses (idempotent); event: sync triggers an immediate sync;
ping is liveness-only. OpenEventStream rides MirrorPool failover for the
initial connect; mid-stream drops close the channel and the loop reopens.
Bump 0.14.0.
The public-API go-client (search/popular/etc.) had no mirror failover while
the agent control-plane client did — a primary-domain takedown broke public
calls. Inject a MirrorRoundTripper that reuses the SAME MirrorPool type +
IsTransient policy, rotating to cfg.Auth.Mirrors on a transient error/5xx.
WithRetry(0) hands failover ownership to the transport (no nested retry).
- usenet: Par2Verify/Repair return ErrPar2NotInstalled (was nil="verified");
pipeline surfaces it via Result.VerifyNote + WARNING — a download that
shipped parity but couldn't be checked is delivered UNVERIFIED, not verified.
- funnel: pin cloudflared version + verify a baked-in SHA-256 (was `latest` +
ELF-magic only) — a malicious/broken upstream release isn't pulled silently.
- stream: makeReadable verifies the file actually opens after chmod and warns
clearly (NFS root_squash / SMB uid mapping) instead of a cryptic later EPERM.
- WireGuard endpoint pin dropped from the debt list (reseller uses direct
config, no pin).
Foundation for direct, valid-cert browser playback (agent-TLS feature) — the
cert broker + DNS are a later phase; this is inert until a certificate exists.
- StreamServer runs a second TLS listener on https_stream_port (default 11819)
serving the SAME mux as HTTP (11818): same token + CORS gates, no new exposure.
- Certificate is read per-handshake from an atomic holder via tls.Config
GetCertificate, so a cert issued/renewed asynchronously applies without a
restart. SetTLSCertificate / LoadTLSCertificateFromFiles / HasTLSCertificate.
- Daemon arms HTTPS only when a cert pair exists at certs/agent.{crt,key} under
the state dir; without it, no HTTPS port is opened and HTTP + funnel are
unaffected. Shutdown drains the HTTPS server too.
- config: downloads.https_stream_port (default 11819, 0 = disabled).
Tests: real TLS handshake + hot-install (no-cert handshake fails, install →
200), disabled path, missing-cert load error.
SeedRatio/SeedTime were declared on TorrentConfig but never consumed, and
SeedEnabled was hardcoded false in both constructors — the daemon never
seeded, and if forced it seeded forever.
- config: [downloads] seed_enabled/seed_ratio/seed_time (opt-in, off by default)
- daemon: parse seed_time + wire all three; startup log per target shape
- engine: seedTargetReached() (pure) + seedAndDrop() background monitor on a
downloader-scoped seedCtx (not the task ctx, which dies when Download returns);
drops the torrent on ratio (uploaded/size) OR time, whichever first; no target
= seed until shutdown. Configurable check interval (tests lower it).
- fix: cleanup() now always drops — previously leaked the handle on error paths
when seeding was enabled.
- refactor: dropTracked() helper shared by cleanup + post-seeding drop.
Tests: TestSeedTargetReached (9 cases) + ctx/no-target branches + loopback
swarm smoke (-tags smoke). Roadmap hueco closed.
Bitmap subs can't be served as WebVTT, so the user picks one and the daemon
re-encodes with it overlaid. HLSSessionConfig.BurnSubtitleIndex (*int, nil=no
burn) flows into the cache key + a -filter_complex graph:
[0✌️0]<vchain>[base];[0:s:N][base]scale2ref[sub][base2];[base2][sub]overlay[vout]
Overlay after the tonemap (SDR subs keep brightness); scale2ref fits the PGS
canvas to the output. Invalid/text/out-of-range index -> clean-encode fallback.
IsTextSubtitle now includes "text" (parity with the web classifier).
Anamorphic 2.39:1 scaled to 1080 height = ~2586x1080 = 11016 MBs, busting
level 4.1's 8192-MB MaxFS -> nvenc "InitializeEncoder failed: Invalid Level"
(libx264: "frame MB size > level limit") -> 0 segments, session stalls. Most
4K rips are 2.39:1, so HLS playback was silently broken for them.
H264LevelForFrame(w,h) derives the level from the real macroblock count
(max of MB-tier and height-tier). hls.go computes output width and uses it.
16:9 unchanged; anamorphic bumps to 5.0 when needed. Discovered + verified
during the trickplay smoke.
The torrent reader used a static 5 MiB readahead — about 1.9s of a 20 Mbps 4K
stream — so streaming a torrent while it downloaded outran the download and
stalled. anacrolix's reader already prioritises the pieces in the readahead
window ahead of the playhead (and re-prioritises on seek); the window was just
too small. dynamicReadahead sizes it to ~30s of video (clamped 8-96 MiB, 24 MiB
default when bitrate is unknown). The torrent provider probes the bitrate
asynchronously so stream start never blocks on ffprobe; readers created after
the probe resolves pick up the accurate size. Real 4K (20.7 Mbps) -> 73 MiB.
HDR (HDR10/HLG/Dolby Vision) transcoded to SDR came out washed-out and
desaturated because the filter chain never tonemapped. buildHLSFFmpegArgsAt now
inserts a zscale linearise -> hable tonemap -> BT.709 chain after the scale and
before format=, but only when the source is HDR and the ffmpeg build has zscale
(FFmpegSupportsZscale, cached). Builds without zimg keep the old behaviour
(plays, just desaturated) instead of erroring.
It's a CPU filter, valid for every encoder here: the decode hwaccel deliberately
leaves frames in system memory (no -hwaccel_output_format), so zscale runs ahead
of format=/hwupload exactly like the existing scale filter. Verified on a real
4K HDR10 file — vivid colour and deep blacks vs the washed-out baseline.
A daemon restart used to abandon in-flight downloads: the in-memory queue was
lost and the web doesn't re-dispatch a stuck task, so the user had to retry
manually. The bytes already persisted (mmap + anacrolix's piece-completion DB
keyed by info_hash; debrid via Range; usenet via its tracker) — the daemon just
didn't re-attempt the work.
ActiveTaskStore persists each in-flight download's agent.Task payload to
active-tasks.json; the daemon re-submits them on startup so the downloaders
resume the partial data. manager.Submit now dedups (the startup re-submit and a
later web re-dispatch can't both run), and recordFinished removes a task from
the store only on a genuine terminal — shuttingDown (set before Shutdown cancels
the task contexts) keeps shutdown-interrupted tasks so they resume next start.
Stream/seed/upgrade tasks aren't persisted; ForceStart is cleared on resume.
CheckDiskSpace (internal/engine/diskspace.go) refuses a download before
writing when its expected size wouldn't leave a configurable reserve free,
so a download never fills the filesystem to 0 mid-write (which corrupts the
partial file). Wired into all three downloaders ahead of any write — torrent
(DataDir), debrid (outputDir, resume-aware), usenet (outputDir, fresh only).
Reserve from downloads.min_free_disk_mb (default 2048 MiB) via SetMinFreeBytes.
The manager treats an InsufficientDiskError as terminal — no source fallback,
since another source would fill the same disk — and surfaces the clear message.
Best-effort: unknown size or a stat failure doesn't block (ENOSPC stays the
backstop). Also hardens formatBytes against an exabyte-scale out-of-bounds panic.
Add GET /thumbnail to the agent stream server: ffmpeg extracts one frame
at a timestamp (-ss before -i, single-frame MJPEG to stdout) for the web's
file-characteristics panel. Auth via a token scoped thumb:<sha256(path)>
(same HMAC scheme as /stream and /hls; the web mints, the agent verifies),
clamped to a real regular file, 404-no-oracle on a bad token, 20s timeout.
ffmpeg path wired into the stream server from the daemon. Version -> 0.13.0.
Debrid direct links are time-limited; a long playback can outlive the link
the session was created with. When a debrid source dies mid-stream the daemon
now re-resolves a fresh link for the same content and resumes — no torrent
fallback, no playback restart.
- debridFileProvider holds the URL behind a mutex; on an expired-link status
(401/403/404/410) the ranged reader re-resolves via a refresh callback and
retries (bounded: 1 initial + 1 post-refresh attempt). A browser opens
several range connections, so the refresh is coalesced singleflight-style —
N readers hitting the dead link share ONE re-resolution, not N.
- HLS-from-URL: the auto-restart supervisor re-resolves the link before
relaunching ffmpeg (else it just retries the dead URL and burns the retry
budget). The mutable URL lives in s.liveURL under s.mu — restartFromSegment
reads it from the HTTP handler goroutine too (seek-restart), so cfg stays
immutable and the write races nothing.
- agentClient.RefreshStreamURL → POST /api/internal/agent/stream-url.
Cross-source torrent<->debrid swap (the rare "debrid genuinely gone" case) is
intentionally deferred. Reader refresh + coalescing covered by unit tests
(incl. -race); the web endpoint re-resolves against a real AllDebrid account.
Non-browser-native debrid content (mkv/HEVC/…) can now stream: ffmpeg reads
the debrid HTTPS link directly (-i <url>) and transcodes to HLS, instead of
2a's raw direct-play which only works for mp4/m4v.
- HLSSessionConfig gains SourceURL + CacheID; sourceRef() feeds ffprobe,
ffmpeg -i, and subtitle extraction from one place. HTTP-resilience flags
(-reconnect*, -rw_timeout) are added only for a URL source; a seek-restart
re-opens the URL with a Range request (-ss before -i = input seek).
- Segment cache keys by CacheID (the torrent info_hash) for URL sessions so
re-plays hit cache despite the debrid URL changing each resolution
(KeyForID, no filepath.Abs).
- OnStreamSession: the 2a direct-play branch is now gated on PlayMethod != "hls";
a new branch handles DirectURL + PlayMethod=="hls" → HLS-from-URL. The
local-file and both debrid HLS paths share a startHLSPlayback helper.
- ExtractMediaInfo no longer masks a URL probe failure as "file not found"
(surfaces ffprobe's real stderr, e.g. "Protocol not found" on a TLS-less
ffmpeg build).
- Bump 0.11.0 -> 0.12.0 as the HLS-from-URL floor the web gates on.
Validated e2e against real AllDebrid: a cached HEVC x265 mkv transcodes
(h264_nvenc) from the debrid URL and plays 1080p in Chrome via hls.js,
subtitles extracted from the remote mkv.
The daemon can now stream a session straight from a server-resolved debrid
direct URL instead of disk/torrent, delivering the "play instantáneo
cache-fast" promise for cache-confirmed torrents the user never downloaded.
- debridFileProvider: an io.ReadSeekCloser over HTTP Range — network-free
Seek, lazy GET on Read, reopen-on-seek, a HEAD up front for the size, and
a URL-derived name so the served Content-Type is video/mp4 (not
octet-stream) when the web's name lacks an extension.
- OnStreamSession branches on StreamSession.DirectURL before the filePath
checks (no local path, no ffmpeg), builds the provider in a goroutine
(HEAD off the sync loop) and marks the session ready.
- Bump 0.10.0 -> 0.11.0 as the debrid-stream floor the web gates on.
Validated e2e against a real AllDebrid account: a cached mp4 plays 1080p in
Chrome through the agent, including the high-offset seek for a non-faststart
file's moov atom. 2b (HLS-from-URL for mkv/HEVC) + 2c (cache-fast preference
+ mid-stream fallback) remain.
The daemon's baked-in CORS allowlist had the torrentclaw.com family but not
unarr.app — so on the unarr brand the browser dropped every /hls + /stream
response (no Access-Control-Allow-Origin) and the player reported "can't
connect to your agent" even though the agent was reachable. Add unarr.app +
www.unarr.app. (Dev over Tailscale uses cors_extra_origins for the raw IP
origin.) Found while testing the web player from an iPhone over Tailscale.
Hueco #3 / 3c (CLI). NewRemuxSource now copies the video for any
browser-decodable codec: h264, or HEVC/AV1 when the web says the device
decodes them (caps). HEVC is muxed with -tag:v hvc1 (Apple requirement),
and non-aac audio (ac3/eac3/dts) is transcoded to aac while the video is
still copied (ActionRemuxAudio) — this covers the very common h264+ac3 mkv.
Startup instrumentation for time-to-first-frame diagnosis:
- remux branch logs [probe=.. spawn=..]
- transcodeSource logs 'first fMP4 bytes after ..' (ffmpeg → first output)
- serveGrowing logs reads that block >250ms (client seeking ahead of the
live edge) + the first read's offset vs produced/estimated size.
Verified: caps gate (hls without caps, remux with), hvc1 retag (ffprobe of
the /stream output = hevc/hvc1), HEVC playback confirmed on a real iPhone
Safari over Tailscale. LAN timeline: probe 16ms, spawn 1ms, first byte
201ms, no serveGrowing blocks.
Agent side of 3b: serve a growing ffmpeg `-c copy` remux (mkv h264/aac →
fragmented MP4) over /stream with no video re-encode. Dormant until the web
sends PlayMethod="remux" (3b-ii), so this commit changes no live behavior.
- GrowingSource interface + transcodeSource already satisfies it; estimate is
the source file size for copy actions (≈ remux output) vs bitrate×duration
for real transcodes.
- NewRemuxSource: ffmpeg -c copy → growing fMP4 temp, returned as GrowingSource.
- StreamServer.SetGrowingFile + serveGrowing: manual Range responder for a
growing source (http.ServeContent needs a fixed size). 206 with an estimated
total in Content-Range; chunked body while not final (never promise bytes a
running remux might not produce); exact Content-Length once final. Blocks via
ReadAt for not-yet-produced bytes; forward seek waits, backward seek instant.
- daemon OnStreamSession: PlayMethod=="remux" → NewRemuxSource + SetGrowingFile
+ MarkSessionReady (after the ffmpeg check; copy still needs ffmpeg).
- Tests: parseByteRange + serveGrowing (full/offset/bounded/estimate/HEAD/416).
Hueco #3 / 3a (CLI side). StreamSession gains PlayMethod; when the web
sends "direct", the daemon serves the raw file over /stream (HTTP Range,
no ffmpeg) instead of transcoding to HLS — zero CPU, instant seek. Runs
before the ffmpeg-availability check so direct-play works even with
transcode disabled. Legacy/empty PlayMethod keeps the HLS path, so an old
web that never sends "direct" is unaffected.
/stream and /hls were served with no auth (only CORS + rate limit), so a
funnel- or UPnP-exposed daemon leaked active downloads to anyone with the URL.
Bind a short-lived HMAC token (scope + 6h expiry) to every stream URL the
daemon hands out and verify it on each request:
- /stream + VLC playlist: ?t= query, agent-minted, scope "stream"
- /hls: path segment /hls/<session>/<token>/<resource>, web-minted with the
agent's reported secret, scope "hls:<session>" — relative playlist URIs
inherit it with no rewriting
- NO loopback exemption: cloudflared relays public funnel traffic over
localhost, so a loopback source address is not a trust signal
- the agent reports its per-run signing key on register only when enforcing
- require_stream_token config (default true); secret fails hard if rand fails
- /playlist.m3u no longer self-mints a token (was an open token oracle)
Roadmap: Docs/plans/unarr-agent-roadmap.md (hueco #1).
Deploy the web HLS-minting change BEFORE shipping this agent release.
funnel: urlPattern matched api.trycloudflare.com before the real quick-tunnel
URL. Cloudflared logs the control-plane endpoint early, so the agent was
advertising a dead URL. Tighten regex to require at least one hyphen — quick
tunnels are always multi-word (e.g. make-appointments-negotiation-blacks).
Covers with funnel_test.go regression test.
download(oneshot): progress reporter called /api/internal/agent/status with a
synthetic "oneshot-<hash>" task ID that is not a UUID, causing the server to
return 400 every 5 s for the entire download. Pass nil client to
NewProgressReporter for one-shot mode; flush/ReportFinal are no-ops when
reporter == nil so terminal output continues unchanged.
torrent: piece-completion SQLite DB (anacrolix) was created inside the download
dir (DataDir). On NFS/SMB mounts SQLite file locking times out, emitting a
warning and falling back to an ephemeral in-memory DB. Add PieceCompletionDir
to TorrentConfig; the daemon now passes config.DataDir() (agent state dir,
always local) so the DB stays off the network mount. One-shot download leaves
the field empty → harmless in-memory fallback as before.
anacrolix mmap storage (storage.NewMMap) creates completed files with
mode 0000. The download succeeds because the agent keeps its own mmap
handle, but any fresh open — direct streaming (/stream :11818), HLS
ffprobe (:11819), or organize-then-reopen — fails with "permission
denied", surfaced in the web UI as "file not found". Both VLC and the
web player were affected.
makeReadable() relaxes the completed file to 0644 (dirs 0755, recursive
for multi-file torrents) right after download finishes, before organize
moves it, so the readable mode survives the rename.
With `-tune ll` NVENC emits long IDR-less GOPs that ignore
`-force_key_frames`, so ffmpeg's HLS muxer keeps writing into seg-0.m4s
forever instead of closing it at the 2 s boundary. Result:
* seg-0.m4s balloons to the full encoded size (1.2 GB on a 48-min movie)
* seg-1.m4s never appears
* daemon's pollSegments needs seg-N+1 to confirm seg-N is closed → never
advances → `mark-ready: timeout` after 60 s
* web player sits on "preparando sesión" until the user gives up
Verified on ffmpeg 6.1.1 + driver 580 / Ryzen 7 7700X + RTX-class GPU:
without `-tune ll`, the same `-preset p3 -rc vbr` cmd produces 39
discrete segments in 15 s at ~27x real-time (was 1 segment / 9 min of
material with `-tune ll` — encoder kept going on a single output).
Introduced by `3b8d77b feat(hls): faster first-start — probe cache +
tighter encoder presets (0.9.9)`. Dropping `-tune ll` costs ~0.5 dB
PSNR at the same bitrate but restores playback. NVENC first-segment
latency remains under 2 s — well within the player's startup budget.
Adds step 6 to scripts/ship.sh: after smoke checks, list Forgejo
releases and delete any with created_at older than FORGEJO_PRUNE_DAYS
(default 90). Bounded retention prevents the tc-git CPX11 disk from
filling up (each release ≈ 511MB of attachments × 1/week pace).
Skipped silently with a warn if FORGEJO_TOKEN is not exported, so
the step is opt-in via secret presence (no token = no destructive
action). Tunables: FORGEJO_PRUNE_DAYS, FORGEJO_REPO, FORGEJO_BASE,
SKIP_FORGEJO_PRUNE.
Two new pre-flight guards in scripts/release.sh, evaluated right after the
branch check:
1. Reject if HEAD subject matches `(X.Y.Z)` — historical pattern where the
feature commit itself bumped the version (e.g. `feat(...) (0.9.14)`).
Forces every release to land in a dedicated `chore(release): X.Y.Z`
commit so the changelog + tag point at a clean release boundary.
2. Reject if HEAD is already `chore(release): …` — prevents re-running the
script with no new commits since the previous release (would otherwise
produce an empty release on top of itself).
Scope deliberately `chore(scripts)` (not `chore(release)`) so this very
commit doesn't trip guard 2 the next time release.sh runs.
Old copy claimed unarr was a "torrent search" tool. unarr's real job is
downloading (torrent + debrid + usenet), streaming via local HLS, transcoding
with ffmpeg+HW accel, and library management. Search just queries the
torrentclaw.com catalog — secondary feature, not the identity.
- root cobra Short/Long now lead with download/stream/transcode and list the
three backends + WireGuard + Cloudflare Funnel
- README hero + subheading mirror the same positioning
- DOCKERHUB hero updated to match
- "Search & Discovery" group → "Catalog & Discovery" (search still grouped,
but framed as catalog browsing not product identity)
Forgejo runner auto-injects GITHUB_TOKEN; combined with the GITEA_TOKEN we
set explicitly, goreleaser errors with 'multiple tokens'. Unset the GitHub
one inside the run step so goreleaser follows the Gitea/Forgejo release
path defined by .goreleaser.yml's gitea_urls block.
