faster

on GitHub

• read-only demo server at https://a.ocv.me/pub/demo/
• latest gzip edition of the sfx: v1.0.14

new features

• up2k.js: improved upload speeds!
  • ...when there's many small files (or the browser is slow)
    • add potato mode -- lightweight UI for faster uploads from slow boxes
    • enables automatically if it detects a cpu bottleneck (not very accurate)
  • ...on really fast connections (LAN / fiber)
    • batch progress updates to reduce repaints
  • ...when there is a mix of big and small files
    • sort the uploads by size, smallest first, for optimal cpu/network usage
      • can be overridden to alphabetical order in the settings tab
      • new arg --u2sort changes the default + overrides the override button
    • improve upload pacing when alphabetical order is enabled
      • mainly affecting single files that are 300 GiB +
• up2k.js: add up2k hooks
  • specify client-side rules to reject files as they are dropped into the browser
  • not a hard-reject since people can use up2k.py and whatnot, more like a hint
• up2k.py: add file integrity checker
  • new arg -e2v to scan volumes and verify file checksums on startup
  • -e2vu updates the db on mismatch, -e2vp panics
  • uploads are blocked while the scan is running -- might get fixed at some point
    • for now it prints a warning
• bbox / image-viewer: doubletap a picture to enter fullscreen mode
• md-editor: ctrl-c/x affects current line if no selection, and ctrl-e is fullscreen
• tag-parser plugins:
  • add support for passing metadata from one mtp to another (parser dependencies)
    • the p flag in vidchk usage makes it run after the base parser, eating its output
  • add rclone uploader which optionally and by default depends on vidchk

bugfixes

• sfx would crash if it got the same PID as recently (for example across two reboots)
• audio equalizer on recent chromes
  • still can't figure out why chrome sometimes drops the mediasession
• bbox: don't attach click events to videos
• up2k.py:
  • more sensible behavior w/ blank files
  • avoid some extra directory scans when deleting files
  • faster shutdown on ctrl-c during volume indexing
• warning from the thumbnail cleaner if the volume has no thumbnails
• >fixing py2 support >2022

  • sends a summary of the upload queue to the server log
  • shows a toast while loading huge filedrops to indicate it's still alive
• sfx: disable guru meditation unless running on windows
  • avoids hanging systemd on certain crashes
• logs the state of all threads if sqlite hits a timeout
