The org GitHub shadow-ban 404s releases/raw/API to anonymous clients, so the
self-updater (api.github.com/releases/latest + github.com/.../releases/download)
was broken: `unarr upgrade` could neither check nor download.
- fetchLatestVersion → GET {base}/version (plain text)
- releaseURL → {base}/releases/download/v{ver}/{file}
- base resolves from cfg.Auth.APIURL via upgrade.SetBaseURL (PersistentPreRun),
so mirrors / onion / staging / UNARR_API_URL all route updates correctly
- tests updated to the new endpoints
- Mirror pool with health tracking and exponential backoff for failed hosts
- Agent client routes requests through mirror pool with retry semantics
- New `unarr mirrors` command to inspect mirror state and force failover
- `unarr status` now detects 401 from /agent/register and suggests `unarr login`
instead of the generic "Could not fetch account info" message
- Config supports multiple ScanPaths for upcoming multi-path library scan
- Draft plan for bidirectional library sync (CLI ↔ Web) under Docs/plans/
Three related fixes around 4K-source transcoding that left the web
player stuck on "preparing session" with no useful diagnostics:
1. Dynamic -level:v derived from output height (hls.go, transcoder.go).
The previous fixed "4.0" silently rejected anything taller than 1080p
inside libx264 — "frame MB size > level limit", "DPB size > level
limit" — and emitted unplayable segments. Helper H264LevelForHeight()
now picks 4.0 / 5.0 / 5.1 / 6.0 from the actual encode height.
2. New `unarr probe-hwaccel` diagnostic command. Lists the HW encoders
compiled into ffmpeg, the device files / drivers present, and the
backend the daemon would actually pick today. Surfaces the canonical
gotcha: a host with an RTX 3090 + nvidia-smi but a Homebrew ffmpeg
built without --enable-nvenc still falls back to libx264 software.
3. Register payload now includes hwAccel + maxTranscodeHeight so the web
side can suggest a smaller alternate quality before the user even
tries to play a 4K source on a software-only host. Software-only =
1080p cap, any HW backend = 2160p cap.
- Replace `upgrade` stub with real command (alias for `self-update`)
- Also register `update` as alias: `unarr update` works too
- Rewrite `status` to show full config, disk usage, daemon state, and
update availability with colored sections
- Add version check cache (1h TTL) so `status` is instant on repeat runs
- Guard against division by zero on empty filesystems
- Guard against negative durations from clock skew
- Guard against stale PID via heartbeat recency check (2 min)
- Add comprehensive test coverage across agent, engine, upgrade, usenet,
arr, library, mediaserver, and UI packages
- Improve Makefile coverage target to exclude cmd/ glue code
- Fix stream handler resource cleanup and ffprobe error handling
- Migration wizard from Sonarr/Radarr/Prowlarr (unarr migrate) [pre-beta]
- Auto-detect instances via Docker, config files, port scan, Prowlarr
- Import wanted list (monitored+missing movies/series)
- Import download history and blocklist to avoid re-downloading
- Extract debrid tokens from *arr download clients
- Quality profile mapping to preferred_quality config
- DISTINCT ON PostgreSQL query for optimal torrent selection
- JSON export with --dry-run --json (text to stderr, JSON to stdout)
- Media server detection (Plex/Jellyfin/Emby) in unarr init
- Detects library paths and offers them as download directory options
- Debrid auto-configuration in unarr init
- Scans *arr instances for debrid tokens
- Validates and saves via API if user confirms
- New preferred_quality setting in config (2160p/1080p/720p)
- Library scan command (unarr scan) with ffprobe metadata extraction
Capture command errors and panics with Sentry SDK. DSN injected
at build time via ldflags (dev builds silent, releases report).
Opt-out: UNARR_NO_TELEMETRY=1.
- Add command groups (Getting Started, Search, Downloads, Daemon, System)
- Add shell completion command (bash, zsh, fish, powershell)
- Add flag completions for --type, --quality, --sort, --lang, --genre,
--country, --method, --player
- Improve Long descriptions and Examples for all commands
- Split doctor disk check into platform-specific files (Unix/Windows)
- Validate infoHash length before truncating (prevent panic)
- Fix references to non-existent 'unarr daemon start' command
- Move stats command to System & Diagnostics group
- Rewrite README with complete documentation, correct config format
(toml not yaml), all commands, shell completion section
