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.
Fix discrepancies found by auditing docs against headers:
- stability_watchdog.sh: wrong variable name (STRIKES → STRIKE_LIMIT) and wrong default (2hr → 12hr) in header
- Watchdogs manual: REBOOT_WINDOW_HRS example value was 2, should be 12
- Transcodes README: transcode_cleanup/manager table said "Every 3 min", should be "Every 7 minutes"
- Tools manual: fallback_state_reset.sh still marked "not yet built" — rewrite section to reflect current script
- Tools manual: claude_startup --setup flag doesn't exist; modes were inverted — fix and add --launch
- Tools README + manual: add docker_prune_images.sh (existed but undocumented)
- Tools manual: add play_state_sync.sh --full to flag reference
- Orchestrators README: arrs_failed_stalled_recovery runs via intermediate_sync (every 4hr), not standalone every 6hr
- Plugin README: add build.sh to scripts table
- Partnership README + manual: add partnership_transfer.sh and onboard_cancel.sh to script tables and flag reference
Behavior fixes:
- docker_daily_restart.sh: implement RESTART_VERIFY_WAIT sleep before
verify_running() — variable was logged as config but never applied
- cert_monitor.sh: --log now shows expiry date and days remaining for
healthy domains in the per-domain summary; problems always show details
Header corrections:
- downloaders_reset.sh: fix frequency contradiction (15 min → 30 min)
- lidarr_cleanup.sh: Emby scan triggers on actual deletions, not every run
- ssh_setup.sh: document --local-only flag in USAGE section
- zfs_memory_snapshot.sh: clarify dry-run skips log write in PURPOSE
- ramdisk_stop.sh / ramdisk_setup.sh: document TRANSCODE_STATE_FILE var
- smart_long_test.sh: remove SMART_TEMP_WARN/CRIT — not used in code
OS version reads now go through platform_get_os_version() and
platform_os_version_probe_cmd() instead of grepping /etc/unraid-version directly.
STATE_DIR fallbacks to /boot/config removed — STATE_DIR is always set by
load_config.sh and the fallback encoded a platform-specific path.
Setup DB path references use platform_setup_db_path() instead of the
VARAVERK_SETUP_FILE/-/boot/config compound fallback.
DOCKER_APPDATA_BASE default removed from arr_sync.sh — the adapter sets it.
All bash scripts are now platform-neutral. Unraid-specific paths, commands,
and service checks moved to Plugin/unraid/adapter.sh. Core scripts call
platform_*() functions exclusively — no direct OS paths in runtime logic.
New adapter functions: platform_storage_path, platform_webui_install_path,
platform_scripts_dir_probe_cmd, platform_setup_db_path, platform_storage_healthy,
platform_is_service_enabled, platform_get_temp_thresholds, platform_disk_states_path,
platform_rebuild_container, platform_push_conf, platform_push_setup_state,
platform_get_templates_dir, platform_send_os_notification.
Partnership services stack (Emby/Jellyfin/Seerr/SeerrFin) added as third
onboarding stack alongside auth and arr stacks.
Remote functions (_remote_arr_up, _remote_library, _remote_defaults,
_remote_add, _delete_remote_item) now check ${node_id}_<ARR>_API_KEY
from the environment first. When found (conf cache populated by
conf_sync.sh + load_config.sh sourcing /tmp/.vv/), they call the arr
API directly over Tailscale — no SSH connection needed.
SSH fallback (grep config.xml + localhost API) remains for the first
boot before conf_sync has run or when the partner is offline.
config_xml is no longer passed between functions — computed internally
in the SSH path only. Call sites in _sync_arr and blocklist-add updated
accordingly.
common.sh gains:
- docker_cmd() + verify_running() + retry_docker() — removed from all 3 Docker_Essentials
scripts where they were byte-for-byte duplicates
- emby_api(endpoint, [timeout=30]) — removed from 6 Media/Tools scripts that each defined
their own _emby_api() with the same curl/parse/error pattern; call sites renamed emby_api
- format_duration() extended with days/hours branch (was capped at minutes+seconds)
- notify() comment: scripts do not need to preflight the notify script via validate_unraid_cmd
Tailscale deduplication:
- arr_sync.sh: _resolve_node_ip() and inline block in _delete_remote_item() both replaced
with resolve_tailscale_ip() from common.sh
- git_pull_execute.sh: inline tailscale ip -4 replaced with resolve_tailscale_ip() (adds
the tailscale status fallback that was missing)
play_state_sync: fix TVDB episode lookup for Jellyfin 10.x — AnyProviderIdEquals
returns the entire library for TVDB queries; switch to season+episode search with
ProviderIds.Tvdb validation to find the correct episode. Also fix pkey extraction
that was pulling s7e2 instead of the TVDB ID from tvdb:ep:5618559:s7e2.
docker_watchdog: add automatic manual-stop detection — containers stopped cleanly
(exit 0/143) are tracked in docker_watchdog_manual_stop.db and skipped until
restarted, removing the need to add manually-stopped containers to the exclusion
list. Auto-clears when the container is seen running again.
docker_daily_restart: remove bare `local` declarations outside a function that
were printing an error for every container restarted.
Discover all HOST*_TRANSCODE_SERVERS from every configured host.
For remote hosts, rewrite localhost/127.0.0.1 in the URL to their
Tailscale IP (via resolve_tailscale_ip). Unreachable hosts are
warned and skipped — partial sync continues for reachable servers.
Adding a new host needs no script changes — just HOST*_TRANSCODE_SERVERS
in the new host conf.
play_state_sync.sh:
- Add detect_hosts() call so TRANSCODE_SERVERS alias is populated
- Switch MEDIA_SERVERS → TRANSCODE_SERVERS (correct array name from host*.conf)
- Fix malformed jq fallback in combine step (was {"} now handled with if/else)
- Skip placeholder API keys in _add_server
load_config.sh:
- Replace 'for x in $(ls glob)' with 'while read < <(printf glob | sort)'
so paths with spaces (e.g. dev workspace) don't get word-split
Syncs played/resume state bidirectionally across all configured Emby
and Jellyfin servers. Newest LastPlayedDate wins; users matched by
name (case-insensitive); unmatched users skipped cleanly.
Matching: IMDb/TMDB for movies, TVDB+s/e for episodes, MusicBrainz
track ID for audio. Also syncs resume positions for partial plays.
Config: PLAY_SYNC_ENABLED, PLAY_SYNC_DAYS (default 90), PLAY_SYNC_TYPES.
Modes: --dry-run, --status, --full (ignore day window), --log.
Wired into DAILY_MAINTENANCE_SCRIPTS after arr cleanup.
Auto Scroll now pauses automatically when user scrolls up and resumes
when they reach the bottom — no separate Scroll Lock needed.
Lidarr discovery no longer hard-skips single-seed candidates; they
score low on breadth but can still reach threshold on merit.
arr_sync.sh bidirectional union replaced the old split-ownership model.
Old: HOST1 owns Movies/TV/Music, HOST2 owns Anime — each arr manages
different shares to avoid conflicts.
New: arr_sync.sh keeps all arr databases in union. Either server can
download to any share at any time. The union is the source of truth.
Auth stack references left intact — HOST1 still owns auth config
(one-way sync to HOST2). Only media library ownership language updated.
Files changed:
README.md — server block + share annotations
Fallback/README-Fallback.md — role line + Split Source of Truth section
Orchestrators/README-Orchestrators — daily sync share comments
Rsync/Manual-Rsync.md — DEFAULT_RSYNC_OPTS comment block
Media/README-Media.md — HOST AWARENESS section
Remove setup banners from all 8 scripts that had them (discovery scripts
use comment-only setup sections). Move per-item/detail echoes to log in
arr_sync, lidarr_missing_art, lidarr/radarr/sonarr_cleanup (scan progress,
API query status, root/orphan config lines), and per-title lines in
radarr_tmdb_removed / sonarr_tvdb_removed. Fix log→echo on clean-status
summary lines in arrs_failed_stalled_recovery, media_cleaner, and both
removed-title scripts. Add output tiers section to Manual-Media.md.
22 scripts used docker without verifying it's present. Consistent with the
pattern already established in Docker_Essentials scripts. Added after acquire_lock
and before detect_hosts in each script's setup section.
arr_sync.sh had acquire_lock documented in OPERATIONAL SAFEGUARDS header but the
call was never present in the code — two sync instances could run simultaneously.
bulk_permissions_repair.sh and container_data_export.sh had no lock at all.
All three are now consistent with every other script in Media/ and Tools/.
Script headers (6 files):
- Add OPERATIONAL SAFEGUARDS section to all discovery + emby sync scripts
- Add STATE FILES section to all 3 discovery scripts
- Add CONFIGURATION section to emby_to_*_sync.sh
- Rename USAGE → RUNTIME MODES in emby_to_*_sync.sh (doc standard)
- Fix SONARR_DISCOVERY_MONITOR_MODE default doc: "future" → "all"
Media/README-Media.md:
- Remove "WIP prototype" label; describe all 3 discovery scripts
- Add discovery scripts to scripts table and HOW THE SCRIPTS RELATE diagram
- Add weekly discovery schedule block to EXECUTION ORDER section
- Update intro to mention behavior-driven discovery
Media/Manual-Media.md:
- Add configuration reference sections for all 3 discovery scripts
- Add flag reference sections for all 3 discovery scripts
Tools/README-Tools.md:
- Add "Library Sync Bootstrap" category and emby_to_*_sync.sh to scripts table
- Add emby sync scripts to HOW THE SCRIPTS RELATE diagram
Tools/Manual-Tools.md:
- Update emby sync notes: search commands now fire immediately after add
README.md:
- Update Media folder description to include discovery
- Update weekly schedule to show discovery scripts
- Update README table entry for Media
future only monitors seasons not yet aired — shows with all existing
seasons would add as unmonitored with nothing to search. all monitors
everything so SeriesSearch actually finds episodes to grab.
- New: Media/playback_aware_sonarr_discovery.sh — two-stage TV show
discovery using Emby episode play history → TMDB TV recommendations.
Multi-user aware: diversity score (0-50) is primary seed driver so one
user binge-watching alone cannot dominate. Per-user episode cap (default 8)
limits single-user volume contribution. TMDB→TVDB via external_ids for
reliable Sonarr lookup. monitor=future by default.
- Add to WEEKLY_MAINTENANCE_SCRIPTS; Sonarr discovery config block in
master.conf (threshold=52, lookback=14d, max_adds=3, user_ep_cap=8).
- Fix: all arr add scripts were not triggering searches after adding.
Added _radarr_command/_lidarr_command/_sonarr_command helpers and fire
MoviesSearch/ArtistSearch/SeriesSearch immediately after each successful
add. Affects: playback_aware_radarr_discovery.sh, emby_to_lidarr_sync.sh,
emby_to_radarr_sync.sh, emby_to_sonarr_sync.sh.
- Stage 1 rewritten to use Emby activity log (playback.stop events)
with ItemId batch-fetching instead of per-library UserData sort;
SortBy=DatePlayed requires UserId context and errored server-wide
- Scoring simplified: recency (0-50) + play frequency across all
users (0-50); CommunityRating is not exposed by Emby Items API
so TMDB rating scoring moved entirely to Stage 2
- Batch IDs in groups of 100 — 1500+ unique item IDs in a 30-day
window exceeded GET URL limits on a single request
- Threshold lowered to 50 (from 60); with diverse-genre seeds,
recommendations rarely appear across multiple seeds so breadth
score stays at 10/40 — threshold 50 yields ~5 adds per run at
good quality (rating 7.0+, 1k+ votes)
- HOST1_TMDB_API_KEY moved to sit under Radarr section in
master_host1.conf where it logically belongs
- playback_aware_radarr_discovery.sh: new two-stage movie discovery
using recently watched Emby movies as seeds and TMDB recommendations
as the similarity engine; scores on recency + rating + vote count;
adds HOST*_TMDB_API_KEY alias to detect_hosts() in common.sh
- emby_to_sonarr_sync.sh: restrict to SONARR_EMBY_LIBRARIES allowlist
(Anime, Kids Shows, Stand-Up Comedy, TV shows) — excludes Youtube
and Recorded Sports libraries; add garbage title filter for multi-
season folder names (S01-S03) and bare bracket tags ([Prof])
- emby_to_radarr_sync.sh: add _is_episode_title filter to block anime
episode files stored in Movies library (underscore/dot patterns,
fansub bracket format, episode markers, codec metadata strings)
- emby_to_lidarr_sync.sh: add U+FFFD Unicode replacement character
filter alongside the existing ASCII ? filter for encoding corruption
- master.conf: RADARR_DISCOVERY_* settings, SONARR/RADARR_EMBY_LIBRARIES
allowlists, Radarr discovery added to WEEKLY_MAINTENANCE_SCRIPTS
Lidarr Discovery (playback_aware_lidarr_discovery.sh):
- Complete rewrite to two-stage pipeline: Stage 1 scores weekly Emby
plays → top seeds; Stage 2 runs Last.fm getSimilar on seeds → scores
candidates → adds top 0-5 to Lidarr
- Per-user influence cap (35%) prevents single listener dominating discovery
- Requires 2+ seeds to accept a candidate (single-seed skipped)
- Last.fm similarity limit 10 for tighter, higher-quality candidates
- 30-day reject cooldown history; MAX_ADDS=5 cap enforced
- Root folder fetched from Lidarr API at runtime (no config path)
- Added to WEEKLY_MAINTENANCE_SCRIPTS (uncommented)
Emby→arr sync tools (Tools/):
- emby_to_lidarr_sync.sh: finds Emby music artists not in Lidarr, adds them
- Dirty tag filter: comma-list, feat./ft., &, vs, " - " patterns skipped
- Root folder fetched from Lidarr API at runtime
- emby_to_sonarr_sync.sh: finds Emby series not in Sonarr, adds them
- TVDB ID matching with title fallback
- emby_to_radarr_sync.sh: finds Emby movies not in Radarr, adds them
- TMDB ID matching with title fallback
- All three: searchForMissing*: false (monitoring only, no searches triggered)
- All three documented in Tools/Manual-Tools.md
- downloaders_reset: connection check block before slskd API sections;
triggers PUT /api/v0/server reconnect if disconnected, polls 60s,
gates Stuck Searches and Dead Transfer Records on SLSKD_CONNECTED
- Sync all modified/new/deleted files from v2 refactor across Docker_Essentials,
Media, Monitors, Partnership, Rsync, Tools, Transcodes, unRAID_Essentials,
common.sh, master confs, and new Manual/README docs
common.sh:
- Add resolve_tailscale_ip() helper — tries `tailscale ip -4` first, falls back to
parsing `tailscale status` output; handles hosts where MagicDNS short-name resolution
is not active
- Add PARTNERSHIP_OWN_CONTAINERS alias in detect_hosts()
- Add aliasing for 4 Emby provisioning vars (PARTNERSHIP_PROVISION_EMBY_ADMIN,
PARTNERSHIP_EMBY_ADMIN_USER, PARTNERSHIP_EMBY_ADMIN_PASS, PARTNERSHIP_EMBY_PORT)
Partnership/partnership_manager.sh:
- Replace 9 bare `tailscale ip -4` calls with resolve_tailscale_ip()
- Add read_remote_conf_var() and read_remote_conf_array() — SSH to mirror, source its
own load_config.sh + detect_hosts(), return aliased variable; solves sparse-checkout
problem where HOST1 cannot read master_host2.conf directly
- Add derive_short_name() — strips unraid- prefix, capitalises first char
- Add cleanup_partner_containers() — removes partner containers via FolderView3 folder
if enabled, else falls back to FALLBACK_*_COVERS_*_TIER* arrays
- Add cleanup_owner_containers_on_mirror() — SSH to mirror, stops and removes containers
matching *-${OWNER_SHORT} naming convention
- Add start_own_stack() and start_mirror_own_stack() — restart own containers locally
or on mirror via SSH using PARTNERSHIP_OWN_CONTAINERS
- Add provision_emby_admin() — reads mirror credentials via read_remote_conf_var, checks
for username collision, creates user + sets password + grants admin policy via Emby API
- Add revoke_emby_admin() — looks up mirror username on local Emby, deletes via REST API
- Wire offboard paths (both mirror-initiated and owner-initiated) to call container
cleanup and stack restart; update --check finalisation paths accordingly
- Fix write_state_file in --onboard not gated on DRY_RUN (was writing ACTIVE state on
dry runs)
master_host1.conf:
- Add HOST1_PARTNERSHIP_OWN_CONTAINERS array
- Add partnership Emby provisioning config (toggle + port + per-host credentials)
master_host2.conf:
- Add HOST2_PARTNERSHIP_OWN_CONTAINERS array
- Add HOST2_PARTNERSHIP_EMBY_ADMIN_USER and HOST2_PARTNERSHIP_EMBY_ADMIN_PASS
Tailscale fix applied to:
- Initial_run/ssh_setup.sh (2 callsites)
- unRAID_Essentials/rsync_stop.sh (1 callsite)

Add intermediate_sync_maintenance.sh (0 */4 * * *) — arr library sync as
fixed first step, optional mid-day rsync (INTERMEDIATE_SYNC_SHARES, empty
by default), then INTERMEDIATE_MAINTENANCE_SCRIPTS. Wired with full rsync
infrastructure (temperature abort, check_rsync_enabled, INTERMEDIATE_RSYNC_ENABLED
toggle) matching daily/weekly pattern. lidarr_missing_art.sh scheduled here.
arr_sync.sh: blocklist --add now end-to-end — looks up real display name
from local arr API, writes TSV, deletes from local arr API (deleteFiles=false),
SSHes each remote node and deletes from their arr API. Files become orphans
for arr_cleanup safety pass.
master.conf: DEFAULT_RSYNC_OPTS updated (--partial, --timeout=60,
--numeric-ids; --no-whole-file removed). Media share comments updated to
mesh model.
master_host1.conf + master_host2.conf: both hosts now push all media shares
bidirectionally (true mesh — no ownership per share, arr_cleanup enforces truth).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Arr sync (new):
- Media/arr_sync.sh — full mesh bidirectional sync across all HOST* nodes
- Lidarr (MusicBrainz), Sonarr (TVDB), Radarr (TMDB) all handled in one script
- Remote API keys read live from config.xml via SSH — never stored in conf files
- Shared blocklist (DATA_DIR/arr_sync_blocklist.tsv) merged from all nodes at runtime
- Graceful skip if arr not configured locally or not reachable on a remote node
- --blocklist-add / --blocklist-remove / --blocklist-list management flags
- daily_sync_maintenance.sh — arr sync runs as explicit phase before rsync
- partnership_onboard.sh — Step 3 bootstraps merged library on both sides at onboard
- master.conf — ARR_SYNC_* config block, DOCKER_APPDATA_BASE
Rsync / cleanup:
- DEFAULT_RSYNC_OPTS — removed --delete; arr_cleanup.sh owns orphan enforcement
- lidarr_cleanup.sh — removed HOST1-only guard; runs on any node with Lidarr configured
Config architecture:
- HOST1/HOST2 hostnames moved from master_host*.conf → master.conf (not credentials)
- Sparse checkout now works correctly: each server only needs its own host conf
- detect_hosts() still resolves MY_ID + REMOTE_ID via master.conf hostname values
Bug fix:
- common.sh line 493 — watchdog toggle eval had broken quoting; all SYS_WATCHDOG_CHECK_*
globals were silently set to empty instead of their configured values
