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.
Introduce ROOTLESS_CONTAINER env to opt out of gosu (replace /proc uid_map detection) and update entrypoint messaging; adjust app-start.sh and redis-start.sh to skip gosu when ROOTLESS_CONTAINER=true and warn on UID/GID mismatch only when applicable. Backend: include audiobook audibleAsin in admin requests response (mapped to asin) and pass baseUrl through test-flaresolverr endpoint to the FlareSolverr tester. Frontend: RecentRequestsTable and RequestActionsDropdown now surface asin, accept/passthrough annasArchiveBaseUrl, and add a "View Details" flow using AudiobookDetailsModal; admin page passes ebook baseUrl from settings. InteractiveTorrentSearchModal refactor: improved UX/UI, keyboard handling, portal/modal mounting, skeleton/loading states, formatting helpers, and richer result display. Tests updated to match changes.
Add an isEnglish flag to AUDIBLE_REGIONS and update region handling across the app. UI: populate Audible region selects from AUDIBLE_REGIONS and mark non-English regions with a '*' and an amber warning explaining limited feature support. Service: set axios default param language=english on Audible requests (simplifies/fixes locale handling) and remove the previous locale-correction flow. API: validate regions dynamically from AUDIBLE_REGIONS. Also bump package version to 1.0.2. These changes make region metadata explicit and inform users about limited support for non-English regions while forcing English content where supported.
Add a volume-mapping guide and surface build/version metadata throughout the project.
Changes included:
- documentation: Add documentation/deployment/volume-mapping.md and update TABLEOFCONTENTS.md and README to reference it (helps users align download client and RMAB paths).
- CI: Capture package.json version in .github/workflows/build-unified-image.yml, pass APP_VERSION as a build-arg, and update the Discord notification to show the semantic version and pull `:latest`.
- Docker: Declare ARG APP_VERSION and expose NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_VERSION / APP_VERSION / GIT_COMMIT env vars in dockerfile.unified so runtime and client can read the semantic version and commit.
- App API/UI: Update src/app/api/version/route.ts and src/components/ui/VersionBadge.tsx to prefer semantic app version (APP_VERSION / NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_VERSION), include fullVersion and commit info, show commit in tooltip, and adjust fallback/dev labels.
- Tests: Update tests (system.routes.test.ts and VersionBadge.test.tsx) to reflect the new version/commit fields and behavior.
- Audible integration: Add ipRedirectOverride query param to multiple Audible requests to avoid IP-based region redirects.
- Misc: Bump package.json version to 1.0.0.
These changes make version information consistent between build, runtime, and UI, improve CI notifications, add user guidance for common volume-mapping issues, and harden Audible scraping against region redirects.
Introduce a SquareCoversToggle component and wire cover-aspect switching throughout the app. PreferencesContext now stores and persists a new squareCovers flag (with cross-tab sync), and pages (Home, Search) expose the toggle and pass the squareCovers prop to AudiobookGrid/AudiobookCard. AudiobookCard/Grid and skeletons were updated to respect square vs 2:3 aspect ratios and include smoother transitions. Also update app icons/manifest references to RMAB_1024x1024_ICON.png and make header/branding responsive (truncate titles, adjust version badge placement and logo usage). Minor UI/UX tweaks added for accessibility and visual polish.
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.
Introduce an optional Kindle EPUB compatibility fixer and integrate it into the ebook organization flow. Adds a new config key (ebook_kindle_fix_enabled, default false), a settings API update, and a UI toggle (visible when preferred format is EPUB). Implements src/lib/utils/epub-fixer.ts (uses adm-zip and cheerio) to apply fixes: add UTF-8 XML declarations, remove body/#bodymatter fragments from links, validate/normalize dc:language, and remove stray <img> tags without src. organize-files.processor now detects EPUB downloads, runs the fixer (produces a temp fixed EPUB), uses the fixed file for organization, logs fixes, and cleans up temporary files; fix failures are non-blocking and the original download is preserved. Adds dependencies adm-zip and @types/adm-zip and updates documentation and types/UI to expose the new setting. Also includes helper functions to detect EPUB paths in downloads.
Allow qBittorrent to be configured without credentials (supports IP whitelist) and require an API key for SABnzbd. Skip connection testing when disabling a client. Updates include: validation changes in admin and setup API routes, test-download-client flows, DownloadClientModal UI validation and save/test logic, and DownloadClientManager to pass empty strings for optional credentials. Tests updated to reflect SABnzbd API key requirement.
Introduce ebook-sidecar support: add new API routes for ebook workflows (ebook-status, fetch-ebook, interactive-search-ebook, select-ebook) that handle searching, selection, request creation, approval, and download routing (Anna's Archive direct downloads vs indexer downloads).
Update admin approval flow to understand request.type (audiobook | ebook), handle pre-selected ebook torrents (including special handling for Anna's Archive with direct download jobs and download history), and enqueue ebook-specific search/download jobs.
Frontend changes: show request type badge in admin pending approvals and augment AudiobookDetailsModal to query ebook status, start fetch/interactive ebook searches, and surface toast notifications. Also include new request lifecycle handling (retryable/active statuses, approval logic, creating audiobook records for Plex-imported books) and ranking/normalization logic for interactive ebook search results.
Other: various plumbing to integrate config checks, job queue calls, and download history storage for ebook downloads.
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.
Update RequestActionsDropdown to handle ebook torrentUrl values that are plain indexer URLs in addition to JSON arrays of slow-download URLs. Clarify comment about audiobooks and indexer-sourced ebooks, and on JSON parse failure use the plain URL directly (unless it's a magnet: link) to build the view source URL.
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.
Refactor RecentRequestsTable to manage filters client-side and sync them to the browser URL. Removed next/navigation hooks (useRouter, usePathname, useSearchParams) and added getInitialParams + local useState for page, pageSize, status, userId, sortBy, sortOrder and a debouncedSearch. Added keepPreviousData to SWR to avoid layout shifts, implemented history.replaceState to shallow-sync URL when filters change, and a popstate handler to support back/forward navigation. Consolidated filter updates via updateFilter, added page reset behavior on filter/search changes, and improved search debouncing logic. Also removed Suspense usage and import around RecentRequestsTable in admin/page.tsx.
Add a paginated Admin Requests API and fully refactor the admin requests UI to support filtering, sorting, pagination, and URL state.
- New API: src/app/api/admin/requests/route.ts implements paginated, searchable, filterable, and sortable request listing with proper relation includes and pagination metadata.
- Frontend: RecentRequestsTable rewritten to fetch via SWR (authenticatedFetcher), read/write URL query params, debounce search, support status/user filters, sortable columns, page size selector, and full pagination UI; added loading/error states and toast feedback for actions.
- Admin page updated to use Suspense and the new RecentRequestsTable (component now fetches its own data).
- Settings: deprecated single download-client PUT route now maps updates into the new multi-client format (download_clients JSON), logs deprecation, and invalidates download client manager; settings GET now reads multi-client config for backward compatibility.
- Processors: monitor-download and retry-failed-imports updated to use the download-client-manager and new PathMappingConfig shape for path mapping logic.
- Minor API/schema updates: request-with-torrent schema extended (indexerId, infoUrl, protocol) and setup complete no longer writes legacy path keys.
- Tests updated to reflect API and processor changes.
This change centralizes request management on the server, modernizes the UI for large datasets, and migrates download client settings toward a multi-client configuration while keeping backward compatibility.

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, 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
Added /cache, /redis, and /pgdata to .gitignore to prevent committing local data directories. Updated the admin settings API to also mask values for keys containing 'secret' in addition to other sensitive keys.
Extract error messages from URL query parameters and display them
in the existing error box on the login page, then clean up the URL.
This fixes the UX issue where OIDC access denied errors were only
visible in the URL bar as query parameters.
