Movies by CraigWorks is an application that combines a movie collection organizer and a home theater PC software in one. Unlike most movie organizers, this application runs as web server and is accessed using a standard web browser like IE, Firefox and Chrome, so the interface is very familiar and easy to use.

Manage large media collections and re-organize them using tags instead of folders that you can share via custom servers with this application.

The Unlicense

Changelog

    Misc:

    Updated the duplicate filter 'show next pair' logic again, mostly simplification and merging of decision making. it should be even more resistant to weird problems at the end of batches, particularly if you have deleted files manually
    A new button on the duplicate filter right hover window now appends the current pair to the parent duplicate media page (for if you want to do more processing to them later)
    If you manually delete a file in the duplicate filter, if that file appears again in the current batch of pairs, those will be auto-skipped
    If you manually delete a file in the duplicate filter, the actual delete is now deferred to when you commit the batch! it also undoes if you go back!
    Fixed a bug when editing the external program launch paths in the options
    Fixed an annoying delay-and-error-popup when clearing the separator field when editing a String Splitter. now the field just turns red and vetoes an OK with a nicer error text
    Also improved how string splitters report actual split errors
    If you are in advanced mode, the review services panels now have an 'id' button that lets you fetch the database service id
    Wrote a new database maintenance routine under database->check and repair->resync tag mappings cache files, which is a lightweight way of fixing ghost files or situations where files with a tag are neither counted nor appear in file results. this fixes these problems in a couple minutes, so for this it is much better than a full regen of the cache

    Cleanup and other boring stuff:

    The archive/delete filter now says which file domain it will be deleting from
    If an archive/delete filter is launched on a 'multiple locations' file domain, it is now careful to only make delete records for the deleted files for the file services each one is actually in
    Renamed the 'default local file search location' option to 'fallback' and updated its tooltip a bit. this was really a hacky thing I needed to fill some gaps while rewriting from 'my files' to multiple local file services. the whole thing needs more attention to become more useful. I also fixed an issue where it could become invalid 'nothing' if you deleted a file service it was referring to (issue #1155)
    I think I fixed a rare 'did not find info for that file' style problem when highlighting some watchers/downloaders
    I think I have silenced some unhelpful BeautifulSoup (html parser) warnings that were spamming to the log in some situations
    Updated last week's big update to work with TRUNCATE journalling mode. I will be doing this for other big updates going forwards, since multi-GB WAL transactions cause problems for some users
    Last week's update also gives a time estimate in its pre-popup, based on 60k files per minute
    Removed some old database cache data that wasn't cleared in a previous update
    A variety of misc UI text fixes and cleanup

Changelog

    the client now supports 'wavpack' files. these are basically a kind of compressed wav. mpv seems to play them fine too!
    added a new file maintenance action, 'if file is missing, note it in log', which records the metadata about missing files to the database directory but makes no other action
    the 'file is missing/incorrect' file maintenance jobs now also export the files' tags to the database directory, to further help identify them
    simplified the logic behind the 'remove files if they are trashed' option. it should fire off more reliably now, even if you have a weird multiple-domain location for the current page, and still not fire if you are actually looking at the trash
    if you paste an URL into the normal 'urls' downloader page, and it already has that URL and the URL has status 'failed', that existing URL will now be tried again. let's see how this works IRL, maybe it needs an option, maybe this feels natural when it comes up
    the default bandwidth rules are boosted. the client is more efficient these days and doesn't need so many forced breaks on big import lists, and the internet has generally moved on. thanks to the users who helped talk out what the new limits should aim at. if you are an existing user, you can change your current defaults under network->data->review bandwidth usage and edit rules --there's even a button to revert your defaults 'back' to these new rules
    now like all its neighbours, the cog icon on the duplicate right-side hover no longer annoyingly steals keyboard focus on a click.
    did some code and logic cleanup around 'delete files', particularly to improve repository update deletes now we have multiple local file services, and in planning for future maintenance in this area
    all the 'yes yes no' dialogs--the ones with multiple yes options--are moved to the newer panel system and will render their size and layout a bit more uniformly
    may have fixed an issue with a very slow to boot client trying to politely wait on the thumbnail cache before it instantiates
    misc UI text rewording and layout flag fixes
    fixed some jank formatting on database migration help

Changelog

    downloader pages:

    greatly improved the status reporting for downloader pages. the way the little text updates on your file and gallery progress are generated and presented is overhauled, and tests are unified across the different downloader pages. you now get specific texts on all possible reasons the queue cannot currently process, such as the emergency pause states under the network menu or specific info like hitting the file limit, and all the code involved here is much cleaner
    the 'working/pending' status, when you have a whole bunch of galleries or watchers wanting to run at the same time, is now calculated more reliably, and the UI will report 'waiting for a work slot' on pending jobs. no more blank pending!
    when you pause mid-job, the 'pausing - status' text is generated is a little neater too
    with luck, we'll also have fewer examples of 64KB of 503 error html spamming the UI
    any critical unhandled errors during importing proper now stop that queue until a client restart and make an appropriate status text and popup (in some situations, they previously could spam every thirty seconds)
    the simple downloader and urls downloader now support the 'delay work until later' error system. actual UI for status reporting on these downloaders remains limited, however
    a bunch of misc downloader page cleanup

    archive/delete:

    the final 'commit/forget/back' confirmation dialog on the archive/delete filter now lists all the possible local file domains you could delete from with separate file counts and 'commit' buttons, including 'all my files' if there are multiple, defaulting to the parent page's location at the top of the list. this let's you do a 'yes, purge all these from everywhere' delete or a 'no, just from here' delete as needed and generally makes what is going on more visible
    fixed archive/delete commit for users with the 'archived file delete lock' turned on

    misc:

    fixed a bug in the parsing sanity check that makes sure bad 'last modified' timestamps are not added. some ~1970-01-01 results were slipping through. on update, all modified dates within a week of this epoch will be retroactively removed
    the 'connection' panel in the options now lets you configure how many times a network request can retry connections and requests. the logic behind these values is improved, too--network jobs now count connection and request errors separately
    optimised the master tag update routine when you petition tags
    the Client API help for /add_tags/add_tags now clarifies that deleting a tag that does not exist will make a change--it makes a deletion record
    thanks to a user, the 'getting started with files' help has had a pass
    I looked into memory bloat some users are seeing after media viewer use, but I couldn't reproduce it locally. I am now making a plan to finally integrate a memory profiler and add some memory debug UI so we can better see what is going on when a couple gigs suddenly appear

    important repository processing fixes:

    I've been trying to chase down a persistent processing bug some users got, where no matter what resyncs or checks they do, a content update seems to be cast as a definition update. fingers crossed, I have finally fixed it this week. it turns out there was a bug near my 'is this a definition or a content update?' check that is used for auto-repair maintenance here (long story short, ffmpeg was false-positive discovering mpegs in json). whatever the case, I have scheduled all users for a repository update file metadata check, so with luck anyone with a bad record will be fixed automatically in the background within a few hours of background work. anyone who encounters this problem in future should be fixed by the automatic repair too. thank you very much to the patient users who sent in reports about this and worked with me to figure this out. please try processing again, and let me know if you still have any issues
    I also cleaned some of the maintenance code, and made it more aggressive, so 'do a full metadata resync' is now be even more uncompromising
    also, the repository updates file service gets a bit of cleanup. it seems some ghost files have snuck in there over time, and today their records are corrected. the bug that let this happen in the first place is also fixed
    there remains an issue where some users' clients have tried to hit the PTR with 404ing update file hashes. I am still investigating this

The Music Collection is a free program that allows you to archive your music collection. Using it you can enter in a collection any kind of music media that you own or you intend to. Also you can add or edit any kind of information concerning the albums in the collection.

The album info can be manually entered or automatically via the Internet. After saving the albums, you can browse them, filter albums by all possible criteria and search for particular album tracks you are interested. Also the program can display and print all data from your music collection in different ways, so you can pick the desired one.

The idea for creating the program was to manage my own music collection and i hope that it would be also useful to any music collector.

Changelog

    Misc:

    Fixed a stupid bug that meant the image caches were initialising with default values (as under speed and memory) until you opened and OKed the options dialog (or did some other options-refresh events). sorry for the trouble, please enjoy some smoother image browsing.
    Mr bones now shows more numbers, and in a neater table. it should be clearer what the percentages are for now, too
    The manage->regenerate thumbnail menu has additional quick maintenance commands for presence and integrity checks and regenerating data in the similar files system
    Wrote a new 'special duplicate' button for the edit shortcut set dialog. the list on this dialog doesn't allow duplicates (which meant the old 'duplicate' button was doing nothing), so this duplicates the current actions with 'incremented' shortcut keys. 'a' becomes 'b', 'ctrl+5' becomes 'ctrl+6', and so on. it doesn't always work, but if you want to make ten shortcuts for setting rating 1-10, this should help
    Fixed an issue where the thumbnail banner text and the media viewer background text was not changing size or font according to QSS stylesheet rules (issue #1173)
    SIGTERM should now cause a clean program exit (previously it killed the GUI App but left some daemon threads alive for thirty seconds or more). unlike SIGINT, it will not ask you if you are sure you want to exit or if you would like to do shutdown maintenance--it just closes the client promptly
    Fixed a bug in last week's importer page status improvements--the hard drive import page wasn't showing all the updates it should have
    Brushed up some backup help

    File services:

    Fixed a bug where advanced users could set 'all known files'/'all known tags' on a search dropdown. this search domain is not supported
    In the archive/delete filter, if the current location is 'all my files' and the files being deleted are only in one local file domain, the surplus 'all my files' will no longer appear at the top of the filter's commit dialog
    The file services in the thumbnail select/remove menu are now sorted in the same order as the file domain button in search dropdowns
    The thumbnail select/remove menus now exclude 'all my files' and 'all local files' if those choices are redundant (e.g. if you only have files in 'my files', 'all my files' will be hidden)
    Fixed some incorrect 'delete from x' actions appearing in thumbnail right-click menus

    Orphan files:

    There's a persistent processing bug some users have where some update files are missing but they won't redownload correctly. I think I fix that this week naturally so existing maintenance routines will now be able to fix it themselves after another round
    Fixed some issues related to deleting files from the repository updates file domain.
    The 'clear orphan file records' maintenance command now fixes the 'all my files' umbrella services as well as the 'all local files' one. it also has nicer description, does some additional file-removal cleanup, and triggers a file recount if problems are found
    Moved 'clear orphan files' to the 'files' maintenance menu

    Enhancement: Add option to force transcoding of video streams even when not required. Basically this eliminates the "Best" quality options and is useful when the non-transcoded HLS segments is too large for the browser's source buffer.
