Deivid Soto 3b8d77b496 feat(hls): faster first-start — probe cache + tighter encoder presets (0.9.9) 
Reduces first-segment latency on cache MISS so the player doesn't sit on
"preparando sesión". Three independent levers:

1. ProbeFile memoised by (path, mtime, size) for 30 min — second play of
   the same source skips ffprobe (1-3 s on 50+ GB MKVs).
2. HLS encoder presets biased for latency over quality:
   - libx264 default veryfast → superfast (~15-20% faster, marginal
     quality loss at 5-25 Mbps target bitrates).
   - NVENC: -preset p4 -tune hq → -preset p3 -tune ll. First-segment
     ~0.8 s on RTX-class GPUs (was ~1.5 s).
   - QSV: -preset medium → -preset veryfast (keeps look_ahead=0).
   - VideoToolbox: adds -realtime 1 (was unset). Bitrate args still
     drive rate control; -q:v dropped to avoid the silent conflict
     where ffmpeg ignored it under -b:v.
3. Per-session log surfaces encoder + accel + preset so "first-start
   was slow" complaints can be triaged from the journal alone.

Diagnostic helpers (DetectHWAccelDiagnostic + HWAccelDiagnostic) added
for future wiring into daemon startup / agent register; users today can
already inspect via `unarr probe-hwaccel`.

Web: AgentsTab profile page now shows the agent's chosen encoder
(amber if software libx264, green if HW) plus the transcode-resolution
cap. Hidden for pre-0.9.9 agents that haven't reported hwAccel.

Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[0.9.9] - 2026-05-27

Added

  • per-session encoder log: every HLS session start now logs encoder=… accel=… preset=… so a "preparando sesión" complaint can be triaged from the journal alone. Cache-HIT sessions keep the existing simpler log (no ffmpeg involved).
  • probe cache: engine.ProbeFile is memoised by (path, mtime, size) for 30 minutes. A second play of the same file skips ffprobe entirely — saves 1-3 s on first-segment latency for 50+ GB MKVs. Cache key changes immediately on any file rewrite (mtime or size delta).
  • agents tab transcoder row: the web profile → agents tab now shows each agent's selected encoder (NVIDIA NVENC, Intel Quick Sync, VA-API, macOS VideoToolbox, or Software (libx264) in amber) plus the comfortable transcode-resolution cap. Surfaces the same diagnostic the daemon log carries.

Changed

  • HLS encoder presets biased for first-start latency:
    • libx264: default veryfast → superfast (~15-20% faster encode; marginal quality loss at 5-25 Mbps target bitrates). Users wanting the previous quality can set download.transcode.preset = "veryfast" in config.toml.
    • NVENC: -preset p4 -tune hq → -preset p3 -tune ll. First-segment encode drops from ~1.5 s to ~0.8 s on RTX-class GPUs.
    • QSV: -preset medium → -preset veryfast. Keeps -look_ahead 0 for low-latency rate control.
    • VideoToolbox (macOS): adds -realtime 1 -q:v 50 (was unset). The realtime flag steers VideoToolbox into the low-latency code path.
  • Encoder + preset selection moved into engine.ResolveEncoderProfile so the same logic drives both argv construction and the log line.

[0.9.8] - 2026-05-27

Fixed

  • auto-upgrade restart loop: when the server signal arrived for a version the daemon was already running (e.g. flag still set after a previous upgrade), applyAutoUpgrade would call upgrade.Execute (which no-ops), then os.Exit(0) anyway — systemd respawned, the flag was still set, the cycle repeated. Now: no-op case is detected up front, the daemon clears the server flag via /api/internal/agent/upgrade-result and stays alive.
  • upgrade flag stuck after success: the CLI never reported the upgrade outcome, so upgrade_requested stayed true in the DB forever. The daemon now calls /api/internal/agent/upgrade-result on every applyAutoUpgrade branch (success, failure, no-op) — server clears the flag, restart loops end.

Added

  • New Client.ReportUpgradeResult(agentID, success, version, error) HTTP method wrapping POST /api/internal/agent/upgrade-result.

[0.9.7] - 2026-05-26

Added

  • hls cache: persistent fMP4 segment cache keyed by (source, quality, audio_index). After a successful encode the segments
    • init.mp4 are kept under ~/.cache/unarr/hls-cache/{key}/ with a .complete marker. A second play of the same file at the same quality skips ffmpeg entirely (smoke-tested 23–31× faster than re-encode). LRU
    • size-budget eviction; pinned during active play; per-key writer-lock prevents two concurrent encodes from corrupting each other. Startup reaps orphan dirs without .complete older than 10 min so a daemon crash doesn't leak disk indefinitely. New [downloads.hls_cache] block in config.toml: enabled (default true), size_gb (default 5, min 1), dir (default ~/.cache/unarr/hls-cache).
  • hls cache integrity check: on HIT, the daemon stats init.mp4 + last segment before reporting cache reuse — if a file was externally deleted, the entry is invalidated and re-encoded transparently.
  • hls cache stats: hit/miss counters surface via cache.Stats() (Hits, Misses, EntryCount, TotalBytes) and the sweeper logs a daily summary line [hls_cache] day-stats: hits=N misses=M ratio=X% entries=Y size=ZMB.
  • subtitle integrity for cached replay: Close waits up to 15 s for the subtitle extractor goroutine before sealing .complete so a HIT never serves half-written .vtt files. Timeout invalidates instead of sealing.

Changed

  • [daemon] auto_upgrade now appears in fresh config.toml files as true (it was always the implicit default; this just makes it visible in default-generated configs).

[0.9.6] - 2026-05-26

Added

  • auto-upgrade: when the web flags the agent for upgrade (POST /api/internal/agent/upgrade or the "Force update now" button), the daemon now downloads and replaces the binary in-place, then exits so the service supervisor (systemd Restart=always on Linux, the equivalent on macOS/Windows) respawns on the new version. No unarr update step required from the user. Still opt-in — only fires when the server sends the upgrade signal.

Changed

  • The OnUpgrade daemon callback no longer just logs run unarr self-update; it now triggers the actual upgrade in a background goroutine.

[0.9.5] - 2026-05-26

Added

  • funnel: optional CloudFlare Quick Tunnel subprocess. unarr funnel on spawns cloudflared as a child process and registers an anonymous https://<random>.trycloudflare.com hostname tunnelled to the daemon's HLS server. The hostname is reported back to the web on every sync so the in-browser player picks it up automatically — cross-network playback now works on torrentclaw.com without Tailscale or port forwarding. Bytes proxy through CloudFlare; TorrentClaw still doesn't relay content.
  • funnel: on by default for fresh installs (NAS/Docker get cross-network HTTPS automatically); existing configs that pre-date the feature stay off until the operator runs unarr funnel on.
  • funnel: auto-downloads cloudflared to the unarr data dir when not on PATH (Linux amd64/arm64/armhf/386). ELF magic + size sanity check on the download; O_EXCL partial-write so concurrent daemons don't clobber each other.
  • funnel: subprocess supervisor keeps the tunnel up across cloudflared crashes + CF's ~6h Quick Tunnel rotation. Exponential backoff (2 s → 5 min) on persistent failures. The web's reported URL is cleared the moment cloudflared exits so an outdated hostname doesn't keep handing out 502s.
  • funnel: unarr funnel status shows the live URL once registered. See README §[downloads.funnel] for the throughput / latency caveats of CF's free Quick Tunnels.
  • docker: the official torrentclaw/unarr image now bundles cloudflared so the funnel works the moment the container starts — no first-run download.

Fixed

  • hls/libx264: bump the H.264 level we hint to libx264 by one tier so anamorphic (>16:9) sources stop emitting unplayable streams. 720p at level 3.1 silently rejected 1728×720 cinemascope frames with frame MB size > level limit; 720p now ships at level 4.0, 1080p at 4.1. Decoder compatibility is unaffected — every device that handles 1080p already handles ≥ 4.1.

[0.9.4] - 2026-05-26

Removed

  • streaming: retire the custom WebRTC DataChannel pipeline. The daemon no longer ships pion/webrtc, the WSS signaling client, or the wire framing package — every in-browser session now uses HLS over HTTP from the daemon (Tailscale / LAN / UPnP). Browser P2P (WebTorrent) bytes never re-enabled.
  • config: [downloads.webrtc] block removed from the TOML schema; existing config files with the section parse cleanly because go-toml ignores unknown sections.
  • seed_file: mode=seed_file task handler + engine.SeedFile helper dropped — the last in-browser caller was retired with the WebRTC player.
  • wstracker-probe: standalone probe binary removed.

Changed

  • agent wire: SyncResponse.WebRTCSessions (JSON: webrtcSessions) renamed to StreamSessions (JSON: streamSessions). The Go type agent.WebRTCSession is now agent.StreamSession. Wire-incompatible with web < 2026-05-26.
  • torrent: buildMagnet no longer accepts an extraTrackers variadic — the default tracker list is the only set used.

Fixed

  • hls: clamp the ffmpeg -b:v to the bitrate cap derived from the EFFECTIVE output height instead of the requested quality. Previously asking for "2160p" on a 1080p source overshot the H.264 level we resolved from the effective height (4.0, max 20 Mbps) and made libx264 abort with VBV bitrate > level limit.

[0.9.2] - 2026-05-21

Added

  • vpn: unarr vpn command (status, enable, disable) to manage the managed WireGuard split-tunnel, with vpn status --check to verify provisioning.
  • vpn: report split-tunnel state (active, exit server) to the web on register
    • every sync, so the dashboard shows which agent holds the single WireGuard slot.
  • vpn: send the agent id when fetching the VPN config so the web can arbitrate the single WireGuard slot — the first agent claims it; the rest are told to run OpenVPN on their own host (1 agent on WireGuard + up to 9 on OpenVPN).
