Bugs fixed: - Partial rescans no longer replace whole index entries: Upsert events now carry the scanned torrent paths and IndexStore merges partial rebuilds, so touching one season no longer drops the others from listings. - Deleted torrents are now detected: discovery reports the full candidate set via a new Sync event after each completed scan, and the store prunes file entries/episodes/seasons/items whose torrents vanished. - Seen mtimes are committed only after a scan completes successfully, so cancelled/failed scans retry their items. - Showreel worker no longer rebroadcasts stale whole items; it sends narrow MovieShowreel/EpisodeReel events that update only reel fields. - Permanently failing reel generations (e.g. DoVi/libplacebo on GPU-less machines) and short-video re-queueing are no longer retried every scan: reel outcomes persist in reel-state.json with exponential backoff. Optimizations: - Persist scan state (scan-state.json) and ffmpeg probe results (probe-cache.json, keyed by mtime+size, failures included) under .mediahive/, written only when changed. A warm restart over an unchanged library drops from ~57 s + 467 queued reel tasks to ~0.2 s with an empty queue (measured on a 163-item root). - Bounded parallelism (semaphores + gather) for cast-profile downloads, TMDb title lookups, and season-detail fetches. - Incremental TMDb-id index bookkeeping instead of rebuilding per upsert; removed dead trigger_scan.

MediaHive
Netflix style browsing of your local media archive. Supports keyboard, mouse and gamepad navigation. Uses your favorite movie player.
Windows and Mac portable ZIP downloads
Getting Started
- Windows and macOS: Download the portable ZIP from the releases page, extract it anywhere, and run
MediaHive. - Linux and other platforms: Install UV and run directly with
uvx --from mediahive[gui] mediahive.
What It Does
- Scans your chosen media folder for all movies and series that can be found
- Produces preview video clips and downloads metadata
- Search on names and other metadata, not just titles
- Hand off playback to your preferred system player
Windows and macOS builds are currently portable-only (no installer). On first startup, the app asks for your media folder, which you can later change using the in-app folder icon.
Note that .mediahive folder is created in your media folder to hold all the metadata and preview clips, avoiding the lengthy processing that you will see on initial startup.

MediaHive is designed to work with a mouse, keyboard, or gamepad.

Background
This project started as a personal project that I have used for browsing my warez for some time now. It is still in early development, but I have just now made it public for a wider audience.
