Velopack runs the app with --veloapp-install/-updated/-uninstall during
those operations; without fast-exit handling the full GUI booted
mid-install (also clobbering config via the first-run setup flow) and
the installer reported hook errors. The post-install launch has no hook
args and still starts the app normally.
vpk runs on the machine's modern .NET runtime (WiX 3.11's .NET Framework
shim fails under the SYSTEM account) and produces a per-user Setup.exe
that needs no runtime on end-user machines.
Files extracted from a downloaded ZIP carry a Zone.Identifier stream and the
.NET Framework CLR refuses to load such assemblies, so pythonnet failed with
'Failed to resolve Python.Runtime.Loader.Initialize'. MSI-installed files have
no MOTW; the winmain strip fixes the ZIP distribution.
pywebview[qt] no longer depends on PyQtWebEngine, so fresh CI builds
produced a macOS app without its Chromium engine that crashed on launch.
Package MediaHive.app as a compressed DMG instead of zipping the raw
onedir folder; release.py accepts .dmg artifacts.
Build the GUI app on macos/windows/linux host runners on v* tag pushes.
All platform jobs converge on one Gitea release; release.py now reuses an
existing release, skips duplicate assets, and supports --no-dist so only
the linux job uploads the wheel/sdist.
- scanner: replace serial DFS with 16-worker priority work-queue, one
scandir round trip per directory (DirEntry mtimes), per-subtree
exponential backoff (persisted in scan-state.json v2), leaf candidates
gated on max(dir, newest video file) mtime so growing downloads and
lazy NTFS dir mtimes are handled
- spec: collect_data_files('tracerite') so style.css/script.js ship
- guibuild: tolerate non-UTF-8 console when printing status glyphs
- ruff format pass on indexer.py/index_store.py (hook requirement)
- Grid layout: poster/releases left, cast spanning center+right top, versions center, metadata right
- Cast gallery moved to wider center column with photo-card grid (2:3 aspect, text overlay)
- Full cast now stored in index (removed 10-item truncation)
- Cast gender field added to metadata model, TMDB client, indexer, and frontend types
- Gender-specific cast placeholder SVGs (male suit silhouette, female portrait)
- Synopsis text moved from left poster box into right metadata card
- Format badge backgrounds made opaque (res/qual/codec/audio solid colors)
- Releases list moved under poster image in left column
- Cast photo and character font sizes reduced for compact display
- mediahive/winmain.py: pywebview launcher with threaded uvicorn backend,
- scripts/winbuild.py: build script — downloads ffmpeg, runs PyInstaller, makes zip
- mediahive/config.py: TOML config persistence in %APPDATA%/mediahive/
- server.py: POST /api/change-folder switches media root
- showreel.py: suppress console windows for ffmpeg subprocesses on Windows
- protocol.py: add ChangeFolderRequest struct
