🚀 TubeArr 0.9.1

THE METADATA UPDATE

YouTube → TV library translation that doesn't suck.

A lot of this update is about making metadata behave like a real media source, tightening up the pipeline, and cutting down the jank.


✨ Added

  • Custom Plex metadata provider
    TubeArr can now serve metadata directly to Plex in a TV-shaped format.
    Stable mapping for Channel → Playlist → Video is now much more intentional instead of “hope Plex figures it out.”
  • Custom NFO pipeline
    Proper support for tvshow.nfo, season.nfo, and episode NFOs.
    Includes repair/sync flows so your library doesn’t slowly rot over time.
  • Custom playlists
    Rule-based grouping for videos that YouTube refuses to organize properly.
    Includes conflict handling and matching helpers so things land where they should.
  • Metadata activity tracking
    Metadata queue/history is now visible.
    Scheduled tasks also track run results instead of silently doing their thing.
  • Nightly/release groundwork
    GitHub Actions improvements for builds and releases.
    Less manual nonsense.
  • Localization improvements
    Expanded Spanish translation coverage.
    Less English leaking everywhere.

🔧 Changed

  • Metadata model (media-server-first)
    Continued cleanup toward:
    • Channel → Show
    • Playlist → Season
    • Video → Episode
    Less “YouTube-ish,” more “media server understands this.”
  • Playlist resolution + performance
    Batched primary playlist resolution to reduce DB thrashing.
    Queue/history lookups are less stupid now.
  • FFprobe handling
    Centralized execution logic so probing doesn't randomly hang or behave inconsistently.
  • yt-dlp integration
    Updated format filtering syntax to match newer yt-dlp.
    Removed deprecated --prefer-ffmpeg usage from defaults.

🐛 Fixed

  • yt-dlp format filter compatibility
    Fixed broken selector syntax with newer yt-dlp versions.
    Cleaned up deprecated args in profiles and migrations.
  • Metadata/history UI rendering
    Fixed invalid nested table cells causing layout issues.
  • Playlist resolution inefficiencies
    Removed per-channel query loops that were hammering the DB.
  • Media probing robustness
    FFprobe handling improved to avoid deadlocks/timeouts.
  • Localization gaps
    Filled missing Spanish strings that were falling back to English.

🧠 TL;DR

  • Plex integration is actually usable now
  • NFO + metadata pipeline is way more solid
  • Custom playlists make YouTube less chaotic
  • yt-dlp stopped breaking every 5 minutes
  • Less backend jank, fewer silent failures
