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.
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.
Refactors admin settings to use a new IndexersTab and card-based indexer management UI, supporting category selection and improved configuration. Updates backend and API routes to handle indexer categories, propagate ASIN for better search scoring, and group indexers by categories to optimize Prowlarr searches. Enhances documentation to clarify non-terminal request matching and auto-completion behavior. Adds new reusable components for indexer management and category selection.
Introduces an API endpoint to trigger e-book downloads for completed requests, with admin UI integration in RecentRequestsTable and RequestActionsDropdown. Updates the admin dashboard to detect e-book sidecar feature availability from settings. Enhances torrent search result handling with info URLs, improves ranking algorithm normalization, and refines interactive search to show all results without threshold filtering. Also allows nullable ratings in request schemas.
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.
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.
Implements admin ability to delete requests with soft delete, media file cleanup, and seeding-aware torrent management. Adds new API endpoint, frontend confirmation dialog, and request actions dropdown. Updates database schema with deletedAt and deletedBy fields, and ensures all queries filter out deleted requests. Documentation added for feature and user flow.
