Adds a Prisma migration and schema field (users.download_access) to track per-user download access, and updates admin UI to toggle global and per-user download access. Implements new APIs: filesystem browse, manual-import endpoint, download-access settings, audiobook download-status, and on-demand download-token generation. Adds frontend components for manual import and related tests, plus documentation for the manual-import feature and the documentation-agent prompt. Key files: prisma/migrations/20260212000000_add_download_access_permission/migration.sql, prisma/schema.prisma, src/app/api/admin/filesystem/browse/route.ts, src/app/api/admin/manual-import/route.ts, src/app/api/admin/settings/download-access/route.ts, src/app/api/requests/[id]/download-token/route.ts, src/app/api/audiobooks/[asin]/download-status/route.ts, and updated admin users pages/components and permissions util.
- jwt.ts: Use JWT_DOWNLOAD_SECRET instead of JWT_SECRET for download tokens
- audio-formats.ts: Add EBOOK_EXTENSIONS export alongside AUDIO_EXTENSIONS
- request-statuses.ts: New shared COMPLETED_STATUSES constant used across requests API, download route, and RequestCard
- requests/route.ts: Import COMPLETED_STATUSES; strip filePath from audiobook in API response
- download/route.ts: Import format/status constants; add archiver dependency and replace adm-zip with streaming archiver for multi-file zips
- RequestCard.tsx: Use shared COMPLETED_STATUSES constant
Embeds a signed JWT download token (30-day expiry) in the requests API
response so users can download completed audiobook/ebook files directly
from the UI or by sharing the URL to apps like BookPlayer — no session
cookie required.
- jwt.ts: add generateDownloadToken / verifyDownloadToken helpers
- api/requests: append downloadUrl to completed requests with a filePath
- api/requests/[id]/download: new token-authenticated streaming endpoint;
serves single files directly or zips multi-file audiobooks with adm-zip
- RequestCard: add Download link in the actions area for completed requests
Add support for admin-driven interactive torrent selection and a file rename/template feature. Integrates an InteractiveTorrentSearchModal into the pending-approval admin UI, adds an admin approve flow that accepts an admin-selected torrent, and surfaces user/admin-selected torrent details in the UI. Introduces fileRenameEnabled and fileRenameTemplate settings (API + UI), persists them to configuration, and clears related caches. Pass renameConfig through the organize/organizeEbook flows and implement renaming in the FileOrganizer (single/multi-file handling). Enhance path-template utilities with conditional block resolution, filename-template validation, mock filename previews, and a buildRenamedFilename helper. Update tests to cover conditional templates and filename preview behavior.
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 full support for Audible series exploration: API routes, frontend pages, components, hooks, and integrations. Key changes:
- Prisma: add Audiobook.seriesAsin for linking audiobooks to series detail pages.
- Backend: add /api/series/search and /api/series/[asin] routes that require auth; scrape Audible series data and enrich books with library availability.
- Integrations/services: add audible-series integration and update request/HTTP services to support the workflow.
- Frontend: add /series and /series/[asin] pages, new components (SeriesCard, SeriesGrid, SeriesDetailCard, SimilarSeriesRow) and wire them to a new useSeries hook; update AudiobookDetailsModal to show/link series; add Series link to Header.
- Misc: extend audiobook types with series fields and add seriesLabels to language-config for scraping.
These changes enable users to search for series, view series metadata and books, and navigate between audiobook and series detail pages.
Pass sanitizedCustomPath through directly instead of using `sanitizedCustomPath || undefined`. The previous fallback converted falsy values (e.g. empty string) to undefined; this change preserves explicit empty or falsy values so downstream logic can distinguish them from undefined.
Introduce RDT-Client integration and related UI/behavior changes.
- Add RDTClientService extending QBittorrentService with RDT-specific behavior (stale-torrent deletion, postProcess cleanup, no-op categories).
- Register 'rdtclient' in supported client types, display names, and protocol mapping; create RDT client factory in DownloadClientManager.
- Add RDT-Client card to DownloadClientManagement UI and placeholder URL in DownloadClientModal.
- Update qbittorrent service: omit per-torrent savepath/sequential options (favor category/automatic management), make several methods protected, and clean up related comments.
- Make organize-files.processor treat rdtclient as a special-case for cleanup (remove local torrent entries after organize).
- Add prowlarr service singleton invalidation and call it when Prowlarr settings are updated so background jobs pick up new credentials.
- Add confirmation flow when changing Prowlarr URL/API key: new useIndexersSettings logic to detect credential changes, prompt ConfirmModal from IndexersTab, and optionally clear configured indexers on confirmed change.
These changes ensure Real-Debrid-backed qBittorrent-compatible clients are supported correctly and that switching Prowlarr credentials is handled safely.
Introduce full authors browsing/detail feature and enhance notifications to support type-specific titles.
- Add server APIs: authors search, author detail, and author books routes (audnexus integration) that require auth and enrich results with library matches.
- Add frontend pages/components: /authors listing and /authors/[asin] detail pages; AuthorCard, AuthorGrid, AuthorDetailCard, SimilarAuthorsRow, and related skeletons.
- Add hook and integration stubs: new useAuthors hook and audnexus-authors integration; update audible service to expose audibleBaseUrl.
- Update AudiobookDetailsModal to use audibleBaseUrl and link author names to author detail pages.
- Add header navigation link to Authors.
- Notifications: extend docs and code to include requestType (audiobook|ebook), add getEventTitle/getEventMeta helpers, update queue signature and providers/processors/tests to pass/handle requestType so titles can be resolved per request type.
- Misc: job queue, processors, provider tests and notification tests updated to reflect new behavior.
This change enables browsing authors and provides type-aware notification titles without per-provider changes.
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.
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 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.
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.
Introduces granular toggles for Anna's Archive and Indexer Search as ebook sources, updates settings UI to a three-section layout, and documents the new configuration.
