Favorites on any server propagate to all others; never unmarks.
Covers MusicArtist, MusicAlbum, Movie, Series (Audio tracks future).
Provider map extended to include FAV_TYPES alongside SYNC_TYPES,
with Series/Episode TVDB IDs namespaced to avoid collisions.
Retries up to PLAY_SYNC_HANDBACK_RETRIES times (default 5, 60s apart)
before giving up — one successful run catches all state regardless of
outage length, so users land on current watch state after DNS flips.
All state/data file paths in scripts and PHP now resolve via STATE_DIR / DATA_DIR /
PERSISTENT_CONF_CACHE instead of hardcoded /boot/config/ or /tmp/ paths, so the
ecosystem works in both internal and appdata storage modes.
PHP layer (watchdog.php, partnership.php, fallback.php, monitor.php, snapshot.php,
config.php): all state reads switched to STATE_DIR constant; remote state reads use
the new vv_remote_state_cmd() helper which resolves the remote's SCRIPTS_DIR via
their varaverk.cfg before building the path.
conf_sync.sh: fixed SCRIPTS_ROOT → SCRIPTS_DIR bug on MY_CONF path; added
_remote_scripts_dir() to resolve partner's SCRIPTS_DIR before SCP pull.
fallback.php page: added controls card (PARTNERSHIP_ENABLED, FALLBACK_ENABLED,
FALLBACK_RSYNC_ENABLED toggles), status grid, and settings card.
README and Manual updated for System_Essentials, Watchdogs, Fallback, Rsync,
Media, Monitors, Orchestrators, Partnership: added new scripts (conf_sync,
conf_cache_save/restore, conf_cache_watchdog, play_state_sync, start_webhook_listener,
upgrade_webhook_handler), corrected all stale /boot/config/ state file paths to
$STATE_DIR/$DATA_DIR, noted webgui/php_fpm/mover/user_scripts scripts moved to
Plugin/unraid/System_Essentials, fixed start_webhook_listener.sh header (Node.js,
not PHP -S).
Adds require_partnership() to common.sh — exits cleanly when PARTNERSHIP_ENABLED=false.
Removes FALLBACK_PARTNERSHIP_REQUIRED toggle — partnership is now always required,
not optional. Cross-server scripts (rsync, conf sync, fallback, arr sync, play state,
backup verify) all call require_partnership after detect_hosts.
Writes partner confs from RAM cache to /boot/config/.cache/vv/d/ while
remote is offline, and removes the backup when remote comes back. Called
each minute via SYSTEM_WATCHDOG_SCRIPTS so crashes and power loss are
covered — not just graceful shutdowns.
conf_cache_save.sh runs first on array stop — snapshots partner confs from RAM
cache to /boot/config/varaverk/conf_bak/ before anything else shuts down.
conf_cache_restore.sh runs after conf_sync.sh on array start — if partner was
unreachable and RAM cache is incomplete, loads the backup into RAM then removes
it. Normal reboots: backup written, fresh pull succeeds, backup deleted unused.
Edge case (partner down at boot): backup fills the gap so fallback.sh has the
partner vars it needs to operate correctly.
Web files now served via symlink to the git repo so git pull changes survive
reboots without rebuilding the txz. Also includes: docker pull/rebuild/restart
with live log streaming, arr_profile_enforcer for Sonarr/Radarr quality
profiles, monitor page cache fix (background writer now in cron), and
ARR_KIDS/SONARR/RADARR profile name vars in master.conf.
