TODO

• now that the main code is stable, we should start writing more tests.
• The ability to delete database records filtered by db:list

Future plan

• Deprecates cli interface and move to web based interface.
• Too many options leads to poeple being confused and frankly unable to utilize the given options, and it's messy how we implement them, as such reduce all options to the most needed ones and give sensible default options.
• Move configuration from text-based yaml files to db.
• migrate all tasks to be web-based, use ORM to allow users to choose which backend database they want, from sqlite, pgsql, mysql. "might be problematic with the way each database implements the JSON db extension". this need to be evaluated before actually supporting alternative datastore.
• decouple the services that comes by default with the container to be just php-fpm provider, and allow the user to define their frontend proxy, cache, and database. default composer file should include all the needed external services.
• We may want to re-consider the rootless container as it's been proven to be a problematic for people to follow along and set their UID/GID correctly.
• Reduce the amount of environment variables.
• Base the new version on already existing framework to reduce the necessary work needed. it should be based on symfony or laravel it's undecided at the moment.
• most the backends code is framework agnostic, so it should be easy to migrate.

Possible v2 features.

• Make it easier to handle multiuser import/export Feature Request: Multi User Support #136
• check if graph database make sense for v2 if we going to support multi user.
• add duplicate db records detector.

Done

• The ability to remove backend data from db. PR to implement backend delete #315
• Sync currently playing item progress. see Sync currently playing item progress #99
• Plex Setup Use managed user token #287
• switch from user parameter debug flag to config side. #251
• Add pagination for backends library request. #227
• Add an access.log for webhooks instead of relying on frontend proxy to do the logging. Updated system:logs to better reflect the changes to our logging system. #170
• Separate server:remote options into their own sub commands for example backend:library:list backend:library:mismatch etc. instead of being being listed under server:remote options.
• For search mismatch we should look compare filename as well not just directory as some people have their movies in one giant directory.
• For search mismatch we should compare the provided year against the year in filename or directory if available.
• on webhook request we should request metadata directly from server, as the info given via webhook payload sometimes is less then what we need. case in point jellyfin webhook payload is so sparse.
• Add Parent id / library id to metadata field.
• Implement sanity check for external ids and reject invalid ids. looking at you jellyfin! [Import] Jellyfin : Strange syncing issues... #141
• add a way to import metadata from backend without affecting play state. basically fill the metadata if it's exists in the storage already.
• Add date to log file. log.(Ymd).log so we can prune older logs.
• Add logs viewer.
• In webhook context add support for metadata import only as well.
• Update servers:manage to add an option of enabling metadata import if user disabled import from backend but have export enabled.
• remove servers.yaml webhook.import webhook.push and rely on just import.enabled and export.enabled.
• rename config:* command namespace to system:*
• force user id selection for Plex regardless if there are multiple users or not in servers:manage, Users should still be able to toggle whether they want strict user match or not. the servers.yaml key user: should not be empty or null. "the empty or null check for plex should only start throwing errors on v1 release, as there are users who already have working setup".
• Allow export to use push mode if import.enabled or options.IMPORT_METADATA_ONLY are enabled.
• In export context, We need to check changed items metadata and see if all export targets has registered metadata. otherwise, fallback to full export mode [Export] "no backend metadata was found". #150
• In webhook context. update the extra column as well if we are only updating metadata.
• Support dual mode in export run. Support Dual mode in state:export & Update the extra column in webhook context. #152.
• Add info to the extra column on Task Scheduler to indicate how the metadata has been updated. Performance improvements for jellyfin/emby mismatch/unmatched & Update the extra field on import via webhook or task #153
• for db:list allow sorting on multiple column. Made it possible to sort on multiple columns in db:list. #154
• Add query retry incase of database is locked. Added retry logic to handle locked database. #159
• Backend clients classes are getting larger as we add more features, we need to start separating actions. Fully migrated all backends action into separate action classes. #168
• change Inspect Request attributes injection values into nested array instead of current k/v list. Changed how we report main data to webhooks handler. #171
• Add the ability to ignore external ids for specific backend. #173
• Added an option to disable external id parsing for episodes #174
• All exception catchers MUST implements a trace mode support. to help diagnose problems. Adding debug trace to all exception catchers. #176
• Made export smarter by marking items not found #180
• Create better indexes. #184
• Backup backends play state. #185
• Added backend:restore command. #186
• New task runner #187
• New scheduled task to allow backing up backends play states.
• Stop referring to database as storage, instead call it database.
• Make sure to check external id expected type, as some backends fails to do so.
• User servers should be referenced as backend as we are hopefully expanding to beyond just media servers.
• Start updating old commands help doc.
• for backend:library:mismatch/unmatched, add option to run on all libraries.
• Added multi filter for config:view #191
• turn on disable external id parsing for episodes by default. #192
• Remove old Server classes #201
• [WEBHOOKS] Some events should not trigger mark as unplayed logic. #205
• Add windows docker compose documentation.
• Change docker build to switch user context.
• Adding option to mark items played/unplayed. #210
