Implement Plex-compatible file-extension coercion to avoid Plex silently ignoring .mp4 (and single-file .m4a) audiobooks (issue #166). Adds a DB migration and configuration key (plex_format_coercion_enabled, default true), exposes a toggle in the setup wizard and Admin Paths settings, and persists/reads the setting in the admin/setup APIs.
Introduces src/lib/utils/format-coercion.ts (coerceToPlexCompatible) and related constants in src/lib/constants/audio-formats.ts (PLEX_COMPATIBLE_EXTENSIONS, COERCION_RENAME_MAP, DRM_EXTENSIONS, TRANSCODE_REQUIRED_EXTENSIONS). The organize-files processor now runs coercion after organizing/tagging and before generating the filesHash and triggering scans; coercion is idempotent, never overwrites existing targets, logs warnings on DRM/transcode/permission errors, and is non-fatal.
Adds unit tests for the coercion util and updates processor & setup UI tests. Updates documentation (TABLEOFCONTENTS, file-organization, fixes/file-hash-matching, settings-pages) describing behavior, config, and constraints.
Introduce Deluge download client service and tests, remove obsolete rdtclient service, and update qbittorrent integration/tests and download-client interfaces/manager. Large UI refactor for admin pages: Jobs and Logs were redesigned to be responsive (mobile card views + desktop tables), improved headers, dialogs, controls, and better status/detail rendering. Also updated DownloadClient components (card, management, modal), organize-files processor, audible-series integration, and related unit tests to align with integration changes. Minor UX and accessibility tweaks, cron handling/validation adjustments, and a few formatting/cleanup fixes throughout.
Introduce user-reported-issues and Goodreads shelf sync features and wire them into notifications. Adds Prisma migrations and schema changes (ReportedIssue, GoodreadsShelf, GoodreadsBookMapping), API endpoints for reporting (POST /audiobooks/[asin]/report-issue) and admin management (list, resolve/dismiss, replace), and an admin UI section to view/dismiss/replace reported issues. Adds a new notification event (issue_reported) with updates to notification schemas, docs and provider handling, plus a notification-events constants file. Refactors request creation to use createRequestForUser service, adds a Goodreads sync processor/service/hooks/UI modals, a scrape-resilience util, and related tests and minor integration updates.
Introduce a provider-based notification system and wire it through the API and admin UI. Added INotificationProvider + notification service implementation and providers (apprise, discord, ntfy, pushover), plus a GET /api/admin/notifications/providers endpoint to expose provider metadata. Refactored code to use provider type strings (removed enum coupling), updated masking/encryption calls, and simplified the test notification endpoint to accept backendId or type+config and call sendToBackend directly.
UI: NotificationsTab now fetches provider metadata and renders provider cards and dynamic config forms (fields driven by provider metadata). Added config field rendering, improved backend cards, and edit/delete actions.
APIs: New providers route, updated admin notification CRUD routes to validate provider types dynamically, updated test route schema. Added download-client categories POST API to fetch categories from clients and wired postImportCategory handling in download-client routes.
Other notable changes: BookDate now fetches Claude models dynamically from Anthropic's Models API; added paginated model fetch helper. Added ALLOW_WEAK_PASSWORD flag exposure to auth providers and password change logic. Doc updates and various tests added/updated. File-organization doc clarifies EPERM fix using stream-based copy.
Extend multi-download-client support to include Transmission and NZBGet and introduce per-client custom download paths. Adds protocol mapping and new client types, Transmission/NZBGet integration services, API CRUD and validation changes, UI components/modal updates and live path previews, and manager routing by protocol. Includes DB migrations (download_path on download_history, interactive_search_access on users), schema updates, and related processor/service fixes and tests to ensure backward compatibility and proper path resolution.
improve container startup for rootless Podman, plus related refactors and tests. Key changes:
- Add/modify Audiobookshelf-related code and wiring (src/lib/services/audiobookshelf/api.ts, library service refs) and update documentation TABLEOFCONTENTS to reference ABS implementation.
- Detect user namespace in docker/unified app-start.sh and redis-start.sh and skip gosu when running in rootless Podman to preserve UID mapping; improve startup logging and verification.
- Add utility/service files (auth-token-cache.service.ts, credential-migration.service.ts, cleanup-helpers.ts) and corresponding tests; update chapter-merger and metadata-tagger utilities/tests.
- Update many admin/auth API routes and tests to reflect changes in settings and integrations.
- Remove large AI agent and Audiobookshelf implementation guide docs (AGENTS.md and the implementation guide) and add README note about AI-assisted workflow.
These changes enable Audiobookshelf backend mode, improve compatibility with rootless container runtimes, and include cleanup/refactor work and unit tests.
Add bidirectional path mapping and complete_dir-aware category sync to the SABnzbd integration. Introduces PathMapper usage, complete_dir extraction, calculateCategoryPath(), and ensureCategory() logic to choose empty/relative/absolute category paths; ensureCategory is invoked before adding NZBs. Update singleton factory to load download_dir and path-mapping config from DownloadClientManager and recreate the service when config is not loaded. Make DownloadClientManager pass path-mapping config into the SABnzbd service. Change request deletion to remove plex_library records by ASIN (deleteMany) with a fallback to exact title/author matches so availability checks and deletions are consistent. Update documentation and tests to reflect the new behavior and APIs.
Introduce interactive ebook support: adds two API endpoints to search (interactive-search-ebook) and create/select ebook requests (select-ebook), plus server-side handlers to route Anna's Archive (direct) and indexer (torrent/NZB) downloads. Frontend: extend RequestActionsDropdown and InteractiveTorrentSearchModal to support an "ebook" search mode and selection flow, and add hooks (useInteractiveSearchEbook / useSelectEbook). Settings: add ebook_auto_grab_enabled with UI toggle and enforce disabling when no ebook sources are enabled; settings GET/PUT updated to persist the flag (default = true to preserve behavior). Documentation updated (scheduler, ebook-sidecar, settings pages) and ranking algorithm docs/tests extended to cover ebook-related normalization and matching cases. Includes logging and ranking integration for indexer results and normalization for Anna's Archive handling.
Refactor ebook flow to support multiple sources (Anna's Archive direct downloads + Prowlarr indexer search) and unify handling with existing audiobook processors. Key changes:
- search-ebook.processor: rewritten to try Anna's Archive first then fall back to indexer search, add Prowlarr grouping, ranking (rankEbookTorrents), and handlers to route results to direct-download or download-torrent flows.
- organize-files.processor: enriches audiobook/ebook metadata from AudibleCache (year, narrator), treats indexer downloads specially (seed retention), adds optional NZB cleanup/archive logic, and improves retryable error detection.
- file-organizer: organizeEbook now accepts additional metadata and an isIndexerDownload flag and supports directories vs single-file paths.
- API/UI: include request.type in admin requests API and remove the “coming soon” notice from Ebook settings tab.
- fetch-ebook route: removed blocking error for indexer-only mode so the flow can proceed when indexer search is enabled.
- Documentation: update TOC, ebook-sidecar, settings-pages, and ranking-algorithm docs to describe indexer search, unified ebook ranking, configuration, and flows.
These changes enable indexer-based ebook discovery, ranking, and downloads while preserving existing Anna's Archive behavior and reusing audiobook download processors where possible.

Adds new CRUD API routes for download clients, new UI management components, and updates setup and settings flows to use the new multi-client architecture. Updates documentation to describe the new structure and usage.
Adds file hash-based matching for Audiobookshelf library items to ensure 100% accurate ASIN assignment for RMAB-organized content. Removes fuzzy matching from library availability checks, making all matching ASIN-only to eliminate false positives and race conditions. Updates database schema, processors, and matcher utilities; adds new tests and documentation for the new matching strategy. Removes obsolete scripts, Dockerfile, and related tests; updates docker-compose for test environments.
Introduces a full notification system with support for Discord and Pushover backends, event triggers, and message formatting.

Adds new request statuses ('awaiting_approval', 'denied'), related API endpoints, and UI for pending approvals. Introduces configurable audiobook organization path template with validation and preview in settings, updates database schema and migrations for new fields.
Introduces support for custom OpenAI-compatible AI providers with configurable base URLs, including UI, backend validation, and connection testing. Enhances qBittorrent integration to support HTTP Basic Auth for reverse proxies, adds detailed debug logging, and updates documentation for both features. Also improves login page description logic and AI prompt generation for recommendations.
Replaces scattered console statements with a unified RMABLogger across backend API routes and services. Adds LOG_LEVEL-based filtering, job-aware database persistence, and context-based logging. Updates documentation to describe the new logging system and usage patterns. Also documents qBittorrent CSRF header fix
Implements optional filesystem scan triggering for Plex and Audiobookshelf after file organization, with new settings in the admin UI, setup wizard, and API. Updates documentation to reflect scan trigger options and improved file organization/cleanup logic. Refactors dropdown menus to use smart positioning and portals for better UX. Adds a version API route and a VersionBadge component to display build info in the header. Updates Docker build to inject version metadata.
Added automatic chapter merging to M4B with admin/config toggles, UI controls, and backend logic. Updated documentation to reflect implementation.

Improved file organizer to support chapter merging. Various bug fixes and logging improvements.
Introduces optional e-book sidecar downloads from Anna's Archive, including admin UI, settings API, FlareSolverr integration, and documentation. Enhances request creation logic to prevent duplicate downloads by checking for 'downloaded' and 'available' statuses, updates UI to reflect processing state, and adds SABnzbd support to download and cleanup flows. Also updates ranking algorithm documentation and improves cache invalidation for recent requests.
Introduces SABnzbd as a supported download client for Usenet/NZB alongside qBittorrent, including service implementation, setup wizard and admin settings UI updates, and protocol-specific job processor logic. Updates documentation, PRD, and database schema to support NZB downloads, adds comprehensive technical details and testing strategies, and fixes Audible integration issues related to search and ASIN extraction.
Implements configurable indexer flag bonuses/penalties for torrent ranking, including UI for admin settings and support in ranking-algorithm. Adds an option to disable SSL certificate verification for qBittorrent connections (for self-signed certs), with UI in both setup and admin settings, and persists the setting. Updates documentation, API routes, and ranking logic to support these features. Also includes minor UI improvements and bug fixes.
Implements remote-to-local path mapping for qBittorrent downloads, allowing the app to handle differing filesystem paths between qBittorrent and the local environment (e.g., remote seedboxes, Docker). Adds UI controls in admin settings and setup wizard, validates mapping configuration, and applies path transformation in download and import processors. Updates documentation, API routes, and data models to support the new feature. Also improves library scan logic to remove stale records and reset orphaned audiobooks and requests. Increases minimum torrent score threshold from 30 to 50 in search and ranking logic, and exposes torrent source URLs in the admin UI.
This update enhances audiobook file organization by including the ASIN in folder names and embedding it as a custom metadata tag in audio files (M4B/M4A/MP3). Documentation is updated to reflect the new folder naming convention and metadata tagging. Additionally, local login and registration can now be disabled via an environment variable, and the interactive torrent search modal allows custom search titles for all modes.
Enhanced the ranking algorithm to better distinguish complete title matches from partial matches, reducing series confusion. Updated the torrent search modal to allow users to customize the search title for new requests, improving search flexibility. Also refined request lookup to ignore deleted requests.
Adds soft-delete support for local users, including backend, API, and UI changes to allow admins to delete local users while preserving their requests. Updates user queries to exclude deleted users and allows username reuse for deleted accounts. Refines search and ranking logic for torrents: uses title-only queries for broader results, increases max results to 100, applies a minimum score threshold (30/100), and logs detailed ranking breakdowns. Updates the ranking algorithm to prioritize title/author match, adjusts scoring weights, and improves BookDate compatibility with Audiobookshelf by disabling rating-based features when unsupported. Enhances file copy operations for large files, improves metadata tagging, and updates documentation to reflect new search and ranking strategies.
Introduces `asin` and `isbn` fields to the PlexLibrary schema and database, with migration and indexing for fast lookups. Updates scan and recently-added processors to persist ASIN/ISBN from both Plex and Audiobookshelf backends. Enhances matching logic to prioritize exact ASIN matches using the new fields, improving match accuracy for Audiobookshelf users. Also includes minor improvements: fixes cover art handling for cached thumbnails, adds download URL validation in Prowlarr and qBittorrent integrations, and updates documentation to reflect these changes.
Root cause: Singleton caching issue
The qBittorrent service uses a singleton pattern with a configLoaded flag.
Once initialized, it NEVER re-reads the database config, even when the
user changes settings via the admin settings page.
Flow showing the bug:
1. Wizard saves download_dir to database ✓
2. First torrent: service reads config, creates singleton, sets configLoaded=true ✓
3. User changes download_dir in settings page ✓ (database updated)
4. Next torrent: getQBittorrentService() returns CACHED singleton ✗
5. Cached singleton has OLD download_dir value in this.defaultSavePath ✗
6. Category check shows "already has correct save path: /old/path" ✗
7. Download goes to wrong location ✗
The singleton check (line 745):
if (!qbittorrentService || !configLoaded) {
// Only runs if service doesn't exist or config failed
}
Once both exist, this block is SKIPPED forever!
Fix:
1. Added invalidateQBittorrentService() function
- Resets qbittorrentService = null
- Resets configLoaded = false
- Forces reload from database on next use
2. Call invalidation from settings APIs:
- After updating paths (download_dir, media_dir)
- After updating download client (URL, credentials)
3. Next torrent addition:
- getQBittorrentService() sees null singleton
- Re-reads config from database
- Creates new service with current download_dir
- Category updated with correct path
Benefits:
- Settings changes take effect immediately
- No app restart needed
- Category save path always matches current config
- Download client credentials always current
Updated documentation to explain singleton invalidation pattern.
Previously, when a user changed the download_dir setting after initial
setup, the qBittorrent category "readmeabook" would retain the old save
path. This could cause torrents to download to the wrong location,
depending on qBittorrent's Automatic Torrent Management (ATM) settings.
Root cause:
- ensureCategory() only created the category if it didn't exist
- createCategory API is idempotent but doesn't update existing categories
- If download_dir changed from /downloads to /downloads/RMAB, category
would still have savePath=/downloads
qBittorrent behavior:
- If ATM enabled: category savePath overrides per-torrent savepath
- If ATM disabled: per-torrent savepath takes precedence
Fix:
- ensureCategory() now calls both createCategory AND editCategory
- createCategory: ensures category exists (idempotent)
- editCategory: updates save path to match current download_dir config
- This guarantees category path is always synced with database config
Benefits:
- Users can change download_dir setting and it takes effect immediately
- Works regardless of ATM settings in qBittorrent
- No manual qBittorrent category management needed
Updated documentation/phase3/qbittorrent.md to explain category
management and save path synchronization.
Previously, files were always being copied to /media/audiobooks regardless
of the configured media directory in settings. This was caused by:
1. FileOrganizer singleton reading from MEDIA_DIR env var (never set)
instead of database config 'media_dir'
2. Hardcoded /media/audiobooks fallback being used when env var not found
3. Three locations passing hardcoded paths to addOrganizeJob (unused)
Changes:
- Modified getFileOrganizer() to read media_dir from database config
- Made targetPath parameter optional in addOrganizeJob (not used by processor)
- Removed hardcoded /media/audiobooks paths from all addOrganizeJob calls
- Updated organize-files processor to await getFileOrganizer()
- Updated documentation to reflect configuration behavior
Files now correctly copy to the directory configured in setup wizard or
settings page, with /media/audiobooks only as fallback if not configured.
Fixes: User-reported issue where configured media directory was ignored
**Problem:** Prowlarr searches were querying ALL indexers instead of only
the ones enabled in user settings, causing torrents to be selected from
disabled/untrusted indexers.
**Root Cause:** The prowlarr.search() method didn't filter by indexer IDs,
and callers weren't passing enabled indexer IDs to the search.
**Changes:**
1. Added indexerIds parameter to SearchFilters interface
2. Updated prowlarr.service.ts search() to filter by indexerIds
3. Updated search-indexers.processor.ts to fetch and pass enabled indexer IDs
4. Updated interactive-search route to fetch and pass enabled indexer IDs
5. Added validation: search fails if no indexers are configured/enabled
6. Updated documentation to reflect indexer filtering behavior
**Impact:**
- Manual search: Only searches enabled indexers
- Interactive search: Only searches enabled indexers
- RSS monitoring: Already correctly filtered (no changes needed)
**Testing:** TypeScript type checking passed with no errors
