* feat(activity): refine play-method tags and add a Jellyfin-client pill
Two related tagging improvements to the admin activity views, squashed:
Split audio transcodes into their own tag. The Play Method summary and
Server Activity popover bucketed every session by its raw play_method,
lumping real video transcodes together with video-copy HLS repackages and
having no separate tag for audio-only transcodes. Classify each session by
the per-stream decisions the backend already reports:
- video re-encoded -> "transcode" (yellow)
- only audio re-encoded -> "audio" (red)
- streams only repackaged -> "remux" (blue, incl. video-copy HLS)
- nothing touched -> "direct" (green)
ordered direct -> remux -> transcode -> audio across the distribution bar,
legend, method filter/sort, the per-row badge, and the Server Activity
stream counts.
Add a Jellyfin-client "JF" pill. Sessions from a Jellyfin-ecosystem client
(Jellyfin Web, Findroid, Swiftfin, Infuse, etc.) get a purple "JF" pill
next to the play-method tag. Detection is UI-only: isJellyfinSession()
positively matches client_name (set from the Jellyfin MediaBrowser auth
header) and then the raw user agent against the known Jellyfin client
tokens, mirroring the server's client-labeling list. The pill is orthogonal
to the method classification — a session can be both "transcode" and JF.
Pure UI/presentation change; no backend behavior changes.
AI-use disclosure: implemented with AI assistance (Claude Code).
* fix(web): cache-control on SPA shell so deploys bust stale UI
The frontend handler served index.html with no cache directives, leaving
freshness to browser/CDN heuristics. A stale index.html at a CDN edge kept
serving old content-hashed bundles, so a client-side hard refresh couldn't
recover — one browser would show the new UI while another showed the old.
Apply the standard SPA cache policy:
- index.html (and SPA-route fallbacks): no-cache + a truncated-SHA-256
ETag, so the shell is cached but revalidated on every load and answers
an unchanged request with a cheap 304.
- /assets/* (Vite content-hashed bundles): public, max-age=31536000,
immutable — cached indefinitely; a new build changes the filename hash,
which busts them automatically.
- other stable-named bundled files (sw.js, icons, fonts): no-cache, so a
changed service worker or icon can't stay stuck in a cache.
Caching is preserved (no no-store anywhere); only the tiny HTML shell is
revalidated, which is what busts a stale UI on deploy.
* fix(activity): compute the method bucket server-side and unify every session surface
Review follow-ups for the play-method tags (PR #387):
- The server now emits effective_play_method (additive field) from the same
per-stream decisions that drive the badges, so all consumers — web, realtime
popover, and the Android/Apple admin views later — agree on the bucket
instead of each client re-reducing raw play_method. Rows with an unknown
play_method (stale rows from older nodes) stay unbucketed rather than being
misreported as audio transcodes off the bare transcode_audio flag; the web
fallback classifier mirrors that and reports "unknown".
- Jellyfin-ecosystem detection moved server-side as is_jellyfin_client, owned
next to the client-labeling rules so the two lists cannot drift; the web
token list is gone. Adds kodi/mpv/delfin/finamp, which reach Silo only
through the Jellyfin compat surface.
- The dashboard stream cards, stats session table, and household streams panel
now use the same classification as the activity page and popover — they
previously showed contradictory tags for the same live session.
- One shared method->label/color table in adminActivityPresentation.ts
replaces the four independent copies (METHOD_META + three switches); the
method column sort now uses the shared cost-order comparator instead of
alphabetical; dead "copy"/"hls" order entries removed and the reachable
"unknown" bucket is styled.
* fix(server): make SPA revalidation RFC-compliant and stop rebuilding the shell per request
Review follow-ups for the SPA cache policy (PR #387):
- Stable-URL bundled files (sw.js, icons, vendor bundles) now carry a content
ETag. The embedded FS has no modtimes, so http.FileServer emits no validator
of its own — no-cache alone forced a full re-download of multi-megabyte
vendor trees on every use because there was nothing to revalidate against.
- Shell and favicon conditional requests go through http.ServeContent, which
implements RFC 9110 If-None-Match semantics (weak comparison, ETag lists).
The previous exact string compare never matched once a fronting proxy
compressed the response and weakened the ETag to W/"...", silently killing
the 304 path in the most common deployment topology.
- The rendered shell (index read + branding render + SHA-256) is cached per
branding snapshot via the new Snapshot.RenderKey instead of being rebuilt on
every request — the 304 revalidation that no-cache makes the common case now
costs two header writes. The misnamed weakContentETag (it emits a strong
validator) is renamed contentETag.
* fix(activity): show the JF pill on every session surface, not just the mobile row
Review comments on PR #387: the JF pill only rendered inside Admin
Activity's sm:hidden mobile row, so the desktop table — and the other
session surfaces that now share the method classification — never
identified Jellyfin-compat sessions.
Extract the pill into a shared JellyfinSessionPill component (renders
nothing for native sessions) and drop it into the Admin Activity desktop
client line, the dashboard stream cards, the household streams panel,
and the stats active-session table.
* fix(playback): sync real encode decisions and client identity for compat transcodes
Review comments on PR #387:
- Jellyfin HLS sessions that copy video and re-encode only audio synced as
full video transcodes: ensureUpstreamPlayback resets transcodeAudio for the
transcode transport method, and the TargetCodecVideo "copy" decision lived
only in TranscodeOpts. A new SessionManager.SetTranscodeStreamDetails
mirrors the actual decisions onto the upstream session when the transcode
starts (local and remote-node paths, via an optional interface so test
fakes are unaffected), so these sessions now bucket as "audio"/"remux".
- Transcode recipe cards now record TranscodeAudio derived from the opts
(only an explicit "copy" leaves audio untouched — empty runs ffmpeg's aac
default), so a session rebuilt after a restart keeps the same bucket.
- Recipe cards carry client name/version/user-agent, and reconstruction
restores them, so the admin client label and the JF pill survive server
restarts; the compat fallback card populates them from the live
MediaBrowser request. Deliberately not projected into stream-token claims,
where a user agent would bloat every stream URL.
* feat(api): capability endpoint for the live-session activity fields
Review comment on PR #387: effective_play_method and is_jellyfin_client are
omitempty, so an independently deployed client cannot distinguish an older
server from a supported one reporting an unknown method or a non-Jellyfin
session. GET /admin/sessions/capabilities advertises both fields plus the
closed bucket vocabulary, following the additive capability-endpoint rule
(same pattern as /collections/capabilities).
* fix(playback): treat empty target audio codec as an AAC re-encode in live state
ffmpeg defaults an empty target audio codec to AAC (appendAudioArgs), and the
new recipe logic already records that as an audio transcode — but the live
native path computed transcodeAudio=false for an empty codec, so the running
stream reported remux until a restart flipped it to audio. Extract the
predicate into playback.TranscodesAudio, share it across the live path, the
recipe card, and the compat mirror, and make appendAudioArgs case-insensitive
so the ffmpeg switch agrees with the predicate for any spelling.

* fix(jellycompat): re-sync sessions after recording compat encode decisions
ensureUpstreamPlayback flushes the session (compat_start) before
ensureTranscodeSession / startRemoteTranscode record the actual codec
decisions, and that later mutation triggered no sync — so the admin view
showed a video-copy stream as a full video transcode until the periodic
reconciler ran. Trigger syncSessionsNow after the details are recorded
successfully; the helper is shared, so both the local and remote-node
paths are covered.
